YoloDeals FAQ
What is YoloDeals?
YoloDeals is about fun, frugality, and philanthropy. Each day we feature exclusive certificates for top local businesses, which can be purchased at up to 90% off face value.
How do I get the deal?
Click "BUY" before midnight when the offer ends or before it sells out. Our deals are always "live". This means there is no waiting to see if you get the deal, or waiting to see if enough people will sign-up. Feel free to buy as many as you like unless the fine print states otherwise.
When does my Yolo certificate expire?
Most Yolo certificates will have an expiration date. Check the deal page or the certificate to see when it expires.
I bought a Yolo — Now what?
Once your credit card is charged, you'll be taken to a page where you can print out your Yolo certificate. Feel free to redeem it the same day. You'll also receive an email with a link to sign in and print your Yolo. You can log into your account and view your used and unused Yolos at any time. The Yolo certificate has redemption instructions and a map right on it.
Can I give a Yolo as a gift?
Yes. Generosity is generally encouraged around here unless the fine print specifically states otherwise.
What if I don't use the full value of the Yolo in one visit?
Unless otherwise stated, you do not receive store credit or cash back for whatever you don't use.
Can I combine my Yolo certificate with other offers or specials?
No. Unless the certificate specifically states otherwise.
Am I billed as soon as I buy a Yolo Deal?
Yes.
Can I return a YoloDeals certificate?
Unless there is something wrong with the purchase or the merchant goes bankrupt we are generally unable to offer refunds. If you can't use it, just gift it.
How do I get my non-profit listed as a featured non-profit?
We like court-side Nuggets tickets. Just send them in a plain-white envelope addressed to...
Better yet, just email us your suggestions and non-profit contact info to info@yolodeals.com. Every month we feature a new local charity or non-profit.

Where did you get the name "YoloDeals?”
We were going to call ourselves "Off the hook deals that put the Benjamin’s back in your pocket," but we thought YoloDeals had a better ring to it. We're all about “your local deals”. Get it? Your local. Yolo. Hey, You Only Live Once...
What is the Refer-a-Friend Promotion?
When a friend sets up an account on YoloDeals using your code, you get a $10 credit after they make their first purchase
I just sent a referral to my friends - now what?
Hopefully you haven't been spamming your friends with hamster videos the last 5 years, and they actually open your invitation and click on the sign-up link. If they do that using the code you sent them you'll magically get a $10 credit in your account after their first purchase. Credits can be used toward any purchase on YoloDeals. Or at least that's what our web developer told us.
Can I refer as many people as I want?
Yes!
I received referral codes from three people - do they all get rewarded?
Unfortunately, you can only use one referral code. We recommend soliciting bribes from your friends.
Do My Refer-A-Friend Credits Expire?
Yes. It becomes an accounting nightmare and our accountant is already partially bald. We didn't want to add any undue stress. They expire one year from the date they are issued.
Is there a limit to how many credits I can earn?
Nope.
When does the Refer-A-Friend Promotion begin and end?
We can't really see why we'd want to end it right now, but we reserve the right to end it at any time.
