How we choose the deals at CNET
Many of us at CNET have covered shopping events for over five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless others. Not to mention covering, researching and hunting deals on the daily. We’ve gotten good at weeding out scams and superficial deals, so you see only the best offers from all over.
When choosing deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time. Our team of experts has tested countless products to ensure we’re only sharing the best deals.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no brands are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
- Quality reviews and in-depth testing are important for any product. If you’re unhappy the first time you use it, the discount wasn’t a worthwhile one.
- Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we’ll let you know upfront so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
