Our process
Anyone can republish an affiliate feed. Our job is rejecting most of it. Here is exactly what happens between a deal arriving and a deal earning a spot on Weekendwire.
Every day our system imports offers from the affiliate networks we work with. Most of what arrives is noise: marketing copy without a real price, “deals” that link to a generic landing page, discounts measured against invented list prices. That's the raw material, not the product.
A deal doesn't reach the site unless it has a real price and a working destination page. Listings with guide-style titles and no price get rejected automatically. If a merchant doesn't tell us the original price, we don't invent a discount percentage — you'll just see the price.
Each morning the entire inventory is re-imported. Any deal that no longer comes back from its network — price changed, offer pulled, link dead — is hidden the same day. The “Verified” stamp on a deal card shows when it last passed this check.
You will never see a countdown timer we invented. Deals here expire Sunday night because that's our real weekly cycle — the whole site resets every Friday. When a timeframe is shown, it's the deal's actual window.
Once a week, a human goes through everything that survived the filters, clicks each candidate, checks that the price on the merchant's page matches what we'd publish, and keeps the ten worth your weekend. Each edition states how many deals were reviewed and how many were kept — the rejection rate is the point.
When you buy through a link on Weekendwire, we may earn an affiliate commission at no cost to you. Commission rates never decide what gets featured — plenty of high-commission offers get rejected every week for failing the checks above, and the Weekend 10 regularly includes the lowest-paying deals in the feed. If the economics ever conflicted with the picks, the picks win; the list is only worth anything if you can trust it. Read more in our editorial policy.
The Weekend 10 lands every Friday morning: ten deals that survived everything on this page.
