Deals Lantern

Amazon deals, posted by an automated system and clearly labeled.

Deals Lantern posts Amazon products that might be worth a look. We never show a price, because prices can change at any time. You click through and see the current price on Amazon.

How a post gets made

  1. A product is picked, either by an automated system or by hand by the person who runs the account. A person oversees everything and can pause posting at any time.
  2. The product is checked automatically against our posting rules. For example, a post never includes a price or a discount figure.
  3. A short post is written about the product. It contains no price and no percentage, because we can't keep those accurate after we post.
  4. The post goes out with a plain marker saying the link is a paid link.

What a post looks like

Every post follows this shape. The opening line varies, and the product here is made up.

  • No price, no discount figure. Amazon's own page always has the current price. Ours could be out of date soon after posting.
  • A direct Amazon link. We post the full amazon.com link and never use link shorteners or cloaking. X wraps every link in its own t.co redirect, so on X the link passes through that first.
  • Our tracking ID. This is how Amazon would know a purchase came from us. Once our Associates application is approved, it is how we may earn a commission.
  • "(paid link)". Right next to the link, so you never have to hunt for it.

Read before you buy

Deals are not all equal. Our short guide explains how to tell a real discount from a fake one, whoever posts it.
