DealCoin
DealCoin is the CloseDeal points system used to make all transactions within members instantly and free. 100 DealCoins = USD$1.00. For other currencies the value may vary depending on the type of currency exchange source used. In any case, CloseDeal solely determines the value of the DealCoin.
We may reward you with “Reservation DealCoins” that you can use to make reservations. Besides that, Reservation DealCoins have no monetary value until converted in Earned DealCoins as explained below, so they cannot be used to pay for deals and cannot be transferred to other members.
“Earned DealCoins” are the DealCoins you receive as cashback when you close a deal or your referrals close an offer or a deal that you have shared. Earned DealCoins can be used to pay for anything anywhere DealCoins are accepted or can be transferred to other members. DealCoins that other members transfer to you are added to your Earned DealCoins.
- Wallet
The Wallet where we write all the transactions you have within CloseDeal. All transactions are in DealCoins.
-
Balance
Present Balance is the total amount of DelCoins that you can use to make reservations.
Reservation Deposits are the total amount of DelCoins that you have used to make reservations on deals that have not yet been closed. For each deal that you close, the reservation deposit will be Refunded to your Present Balance and you will earn an equal amount of Earned DealCoins.
Available Balance is the total amount of DelCoins that you can use to pay or transfer.

7. RESERVING AND CLOSING DEALS BONUS COUPONS
In order to earn DealCoins when you close a deal you first need to reserve the deal or purchase the deal. You can reserve the deal if your Present Balance is equal or greater than the DealCoins required to make the reservation, indicated in the offer.
When you close a deal your wallet will be credited in the amount indicated in the offer at the right of the price. Also, Bonus DealCoins will accumulate in an exclusive account between you and the merchant, when a certain amount of DealCoins is accumulated you will receive a Bonus Coupon. Bonus DealCoins expire after 180 days. Bonus Coupons expire after 30 days.
8. PURCHASES THROUGH CLOSEDEAL
If your Available Balance is greater than the cost of the deal you intent to buy, you can use your Earned DealCoins to pay for the Deal.
If your Available Balance is insufficient to cover the cost of the deal(s) you intend to buy you can add a payment method.
Adding a Payment method
For your security, when you add a new payment method you will buy 100 DealCoins that will be added to your wallet balance. Your Credit Card company will send you an email about this purchase. You will have to wait 48 hours before you can use this payment method. With this method, if your card was lost or stolen you have 48 hours to call your credit card company before the card can be used with CloseDeal.
For all your purchases offered through our platform, you will not be paying directly to the merchant or service provider with your payment method, but instead, you will be buying DealCoins from CloseDeal. Purchased DealCoins will be added to your Reservation Deposits and will be transferred to the merchant once you Close the Deal. If you cancel the deal before closing it, the DealCoins will be moved from your Reservation Deposits to your Wallet as Earned Dealcoins for future use.
All payments in DealCoins are between you and the merchant or service provider and you exempt CloseDeal from any liability.
You can cancel any deal that was closed and request the merchant to transfer back the DealCoins in the amount that you have previously used to pay for the deal you are canceling.
You can use purchased DealCoins to make any purchase anywhere DealCoins are accepted.
For your security we will ask you to set up a PIN and every time you want to make a purchase using any of your payment methods we will ask you for this PIN. Do not write, share or save this PIN outside your mind. Keep this PIN private, only in your memory. This method ensures that only you will have access to purchase DealCoins through the payment methods added to CloseDeal.
If you lost your PIN, push the button RESET PIN to reset your PIN and remove all your payment methods from your device. If this ever happens you will need to set up your PIN and payment methods again. This method ensures that only you will have access to purchase DealCoins through the payment methods added to CloseDeal.
YOU CANNOT DISPUTE A PURCHASE OF DEALCOINS
You had 48 hours to call your credit card company and cancel your card in case it was lost or stolen. We have delivered the DealCoins, DealCoins are only of one quality, cannot be “defective” and you can use them to pay for anything anywhere DealCoins are accepted.
9. CANCELLING DEALS
IF YOU PAID THE MERCHANT WITH MONEY
As with any other regular transaction you will need to request the merchant for a refund, you decide how you receive that refund.
IF YOU USED DEALCOINS TO PAY FOR A DEAL
Request the merchant to transfer back the DealCoins in the total amount that you have previously used to pay for the deal you are canceling or you can accept money, but is the Merchant who will decide how to refund you.
Any dispute arising from an offer advertised by a merchant using CloseDeal will be solely between you and the merchant.
Deal cancellation rules apply when you cancel a deal or let a deal expire.
We have a community of excellent human beings, we give you 5 (five) stars when you sign up for your account.
Merchants will rate you after every deal you create with them (Cancelling deals often may result in your rating being affected, as well as losing deal coins).
Relative Rating and how Deal Cancellation Rules Apply
If your rating is less than 1 lower than the merchant you created the deal with and you cancel the deal, you will recover 100% of your reservation deposit.
If your rating is at least 1 lower but less than 2 than the merchant you created the deal with and you cancel the deal, you will lose 50% of your reservation deposit.
If your rating is at least 2 full stars rating lower than the merchant you created the deal with and you cancel the deal, you will lose 100% of your reservation deposit.
