Each leaderboard ranks participants using the criteria described for that specific leaderboard. Only eligible activity completed during the contest period counts toward the rankings.

All leaderboards update automatically in real time as eligible activity is completed. For example, when you successfully close a deal, one deal is immediately added to your Deals Closed total and the corresponding DealCoins are added to your Earned Cashback total. Likewise, qualifying referrals and rewards are reflected in the appropriate leaderboards as soon as they are recorded. If any qualifying activity is canceled, refunded, reversed, or otherwise becomes ineligible, the corresponding leaderboard totals and rankings are updated automatically in real time.

If two or more participants finish with the same score on any leaderboard, ties will be resolved by comparing their values in the remaining consumer leaderboards in the following order:

1. Deals Closed
2. Cashback Earned
3. Consumer Signups
4. Offer Referral Rewards
5. Merchant Signups

For example, if two participants are tied on Deals Closed, the participant with the higher Cashback Earned ranks higher. If they are still tied, Consumer Signups are compared, followed by Offer Referral Rewards, and finally Merchant Signups.

If a tie still remains after comparing all leaderboard values, the participant who first reached the tied score, based on CloseDeal’s official system timestamp (UTC), will receive the higher ranking.

If an eligible deal, referral, reward, or other qualifying activity is canceled, refunded, reversed, or otherwise becomes ineligible, the corresponding points, DealCoins, cashback, deal value, or leaderboard totals will be deducted automatically in real time, and leaderboard rankings will be updated accordingly.

All contest start and end times are based on U.S. Eastern Time (ET). Countdown timers display the remaining time until the contest ends for all participants regardless of their location. Rankings displayed during the contest are provisional and may change as new qualifying activity is recorded. Final rankings and winners are determined after the contest ends and all eligible activity has been verified.
