Frequently asked questions
Short answers to what people actually ask. Longer versions live in how verification works, the editorial policy, and the affiliate disclosure.
Is JumpBump free to use?
Yes. Every deal, every price check, and every feed is free, and there is no paid tier. We earn a commission when you buy through some of our outbound links, which costs you nothing extra.
Do I need an account?
No. You can read and search every deal without one. An account only adds the ability to vote and comment under a name, and it can be deleted whenever you ask.
What does "verified" actually mean?
It means we opened the merchant page and confirmed the price, that the offer is reachable by an ordinary shopper, and what conditions apply, then recorded when that check happened. It does not mean the price is guaranteed to still be there when you arrive, because merchants change prices without warning.
What is the difference between Flash and Bomb?
Flash deals expire within two days of going live, so they need a quick decision. Bomb deals run longer or have no fixed deadline. Both live under Latest, and the split is calculated from the offer validity window rather than assigned by hand.
How does a deal get into Featured?
Readers vote it there. Featured is ordered by net upvotes, so it reflects what shoppers found genuinely worthwhile rather than what we or a merchant would prefer to promote. Placement in Featured cannot be bought.
The price is different from what you show. Why?
Most often the offer ended, sold out, or is limited to a particular card, seller, size, or pincode. Sometimes we got it wrong. Treat the merchant page as the source of truth and tell us at [email protected] so we can fix or retire the deal.
Do you use AI to write deals?
Automated systems help extract facts, spot duplicates, draft explanatory text, and recheck availability, and their output has to pass structured validators and a quality gate before publishing. Every published deal keeps the evidence it was based on.
How do you make money?
Affiliate commission on some outbound links. Our scoring runs before any affiliate link is attached and never sees it, so commission has no mechanism to influence a score or a position.
Can I submit a deal?
Yes, email [email protected] with the offer link and any conditions attached to it. Suggestions go through the same verification as anything our own crawler finds, and we do not publish referral links or offers we cannot confirm.
Why do expired deals still have pages?
An ended deal keeps its page for a short retention window with the status shown plainly and the action button disabled, so a link you saved explains what happened instead of returning a dead end. After that window the page is removed.
Do you have a feed I can follow?
Yes, an RSS feed at /rss.xml and a JSON Feed at /feed.json, each carrying the latest live deals. Use those rather than scraping the site.
Do you track me?
No. There is no analytics, no advertising pixel, and no third-party JavaScript other than a bot challenge on the sign-up form. Your IP address is never stored, only a keyed one-way digest used to rate-limit abuse.
