Exciting New Feature: Earn Bonus Points by Downloading Apps and Playing Games!
Latest Deals
Hello Deal Hunters!
We’re thrilled to announce a new way for you to earn LD points – by downloading free apps, using websites, and playing games.
How It Works:
- Select a Partner: We’ve partnered with various companies to bring you exciting point offers. Choose a sponsored partner to see their offers and the LD points you can earn.
- Complete Actions: Each offer might involve downloading an app, reaching a certain level in a game, or engaging with a website.
- Earn Points: Once you complete the necessary actions, the partner company will inform us, and we’ll reward you with LD points.
- Pending Points: Your earned points will initially go into a 'pending' pot. They will be confirmed and credited once the partner company verifies completion. This process may take some time.
- Eligibility: Each offer has specific criteria, such as the type of device you use.
This feature is now available to all Latest Deals members.
The feature is in beta which means we expect there to be bugs and problems. We're looking for members willing to give it a go knowing it might fall over!
There are hundreds of thousands of points up for grabs. Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to boost your points and earn more Amazon gift cards.
How do I get the bonus points?
- Login
- Go to points
- Look for 'Point Offers' box

Best,
Tom and The Latest Deals Team
MrsCraig thank you so much. Update - this is now available to all: go to latestdeals.co.uk/points
What kind of user data is being shared in this ‘partnership‘?
Who are these partners that have access to our data?
Can you give an example of what kind of points are expected per specific action?
If points aren't tracked from the partner correctly, is there an appeal process?
What is the expected turnaround of points being deposited?
Finally, who asked for this? It has nothing to do with deals or the site, and seems like a way to incentivise us to fill out useless surveys and apps we would never use.
Needs more thought and less execution at this early stage i think, despite the ‘excitement’.
Morning hmmmn 
I just wanted to clarify a few of your points for you and anyone else reading:
Re: Data
We don’t share any user data with the partners other than an ID that lets us match up which offers you complete so we can award points. The ID is unique to you and each partner and private. Therefore the partner does not know what your username/details are on Latest Deals. They just know a random ID completed an offer and will tell us as much (where we can then link everything up). As Tom mentioned - if you choose to share details with the partner (or one of the offers) that is at your discretion and would be subject to any relevant t&cs etc which we encourage you to read and consider carefully.
Re: Example of points
It varies quite a lot and the partners we’re running this beta period with constantly add/remove offers. Generally speaking, the more involved the “task” the greater the reward of points. E.g. you might get some points for installing an app. You could get far more points for installing an app and completing certain tasks within it, such as getting to a certain level in a game.
Re: Tracking appeals
We’ve tried to choose partners that provide customer support directly. We hope this means any tracking issues can be quickly resolved directly with the partner. As the partner tracks whether or not you’ve completed an offer (rather than us) we unfortunately have no ability to assist here. However, part of this beta period will be evaluating how well offers track with these partners and how responsive and helpful the support the partners provide is.
Re: Points tracking turnaround
From our testing the time it takes for a partner to report an offer as tracked varies quite a bit. Sometimes instant, sometimes several days. After Latest Deals is informed an offer has tracked, we currently have a provisional period of 30 days where the points are “pending” before being confirmed and allowing LD members to exchange them for gift cards. These timelines may decrease or increase as we get a better idea of how quickly each partner reports completed offers to us and confirms that they won’t be subsequently reversed.
We’re always keen to explore new ways to help users earn points. We felt this may slot into Latest Deals quite nicely as an entirely optional extra feature. If it’s not for you - that’s okay! Latest Deals will still continue to work exactly as before but with the added benefit of a new “pending” points system that might support the development of future features (cashback?! 
)
Hope that helps!
Leannexxx hmmmn has got a point ! These sorts of app and survey/games apps companies, do ask for sooo much of our private
personal details and maybe they will profit from it too.So many people never question things like this,so it's good to see that people like hmmmn point this out(i would have asked exactly the same)by helping the rest of us, that don't think of asking these questions.Good on you hmmmn 
luckydipies yes he has but hes comment on who's asked for this ? Really coming from someone who only just joined

I’d love to try this depending on the games. I like puzzle games or word or number puzzles. I’ll definitely give it a try
I would also be interested in trying these out. I enjoy playing the simple game apps especially if they don’t need wifi. Just been on a four hour flight and they have kept me amused.
eyeballkerry thank you - I’m not sure but I would imagine most of them may require WiFi. Hopefully there’s a few that don’t but tbh I’m not sure!
Tom I got my link today, thank you for the invite. Managed to have a look. I saw one survey site which I am already signed up too hopefully more will appear. Just going to check the games out.
Mate I'm trying ti not download games. Typical you introduce this. Lol. Good idea though
I'll definitely give it a go. Will look forward to it arriving will have to delete some unused apps first but probably a good thing
I’ll try playing a few games if it greatly boosts my points although I’m not good at games except backgammon.
I would be interested In trying out new features, playing games is always fun, what an excellent idea, thank you
I'll beta test, and give feedback if the rewards justify the time used completing tasks. Sign me up.
I would be interested in testing but I'm not actually a game player so is there likely to be a similar number of surveys as games? Thanks
Would be happy to give it a try 
let me know if I can be of any help. Always exciting changes happening on LD
I would be interested in giving this new idea a go. I like games where you have to find items in a location, puzzles etc. Very good way to earn extra points quickly.
