-About Dealio
What the heck is Dealio?
Dealio is a community-powered local deals app. Users can browse deals from nearby businesses, claim them for free, and share with friends. The more people who claim a deal, the higher the discount grows for everyone who claimed it.
Is Dealio free for users?
Yes! Dealio is 100% free for deal-hunters. There are no subscription fees, no membership costs, and no hidden charges. You simply download the app, create an account, and start claiming deals in your area.
When is Dealio launching?
Dealio is currently in pre-launch and building its merchant and user base city by city. We plan to launch in select cities in 2026. Join the waitlist to be notified the moment Dealio arrives in your ZIP code.
-How Deals Work
How do discounts increase?
Every deal has a tiered discount structure set by the merchant. For example, Tier 1 might be 15% OFF at 50 claims, Tier 2 is 25% OFF at 200 claims, Tier 3 is 35% OFF at 500 claims, and a Viral tier at 45% OFF for 1,000+ claims. As more people claim the deal, it advances to the next tier — and everyone who already claimed it gets the higher discount automatically.
Do I need to wait for more claims before I use the coupon?
No! You can redeem your coupon at the current tier immediately after claiming it. However, if the deal reaches a higher tier before your redemption date, your coupon automatically upgrades to the better discount.
Do the Dealios expire?
Yes. Merchants can set a maximum number of redemptions or an expiry date. Once a deal's limit is reached or the expiration passes, it closes. We recommend claiming quickly and redeeming before the deal expires.
If you recieve our push notifications you wil get an alert before your coupon (we call them Dealios) expires.
-Claiming and Redeeming
How do I claim a Dealio?
Open the Dealio app, browse deals near you by ZIP code, and tap 'Claim' on any deal you want. The coupon is saved to your profile instantly. No payment required to claim.
How do I redeem a Dealio?
Visit the business in person, open the Dealio app, go to your saved coupons, and tap the deal you want to redeem. Show the unique QR code or redemption code on your screen to the merchant. They'll scan or enter the code to apply your discount.
Can I use the same Dealio multiple times?
No. Each coupon is single-use. Once you redeem a deal, it's marked as used and cannot be redeemed again. However, a merchant may run new deals in the future that you can claim fresh.
What if the merchant does not accept my Dealio?
Valid Dealio coupons are guaranteed by the merchant when they create the deal. If you experience an issue, use the in-app support button to report it. Our team will investigate and assist with your redemption.
-For Merchants
How do merchants create deals on Dealio?
After signing up and being verified, merchants access their dashboard and create a new deal. You set the discount tiers (up to 4 levels), the claim milestones, the max redemptions, and the expiry date. Once approved, your deal goes live on the local Dealio feed.
Is Dealio free for merchants?
Yes! Dealio is 100% free for merchants. There are no subscription fees, no membership costs, and no hidden charges. You simply download the app, create an account, and start creating deals in your area.
How does Dealio verify merchant reviews?
Only customers who have successfully redeemed a coupon at your business are allowed to leave a review. This ensures that all reviews come from genuine, in-person customers — not bots or people who never visited your business.
