Frequently asked questions

What is Dealio?

Dealio is a free app that connects you with deals from local businesses. Browse offers near you and redeem them right from your phone — no printed coupons or codes.

How much does it cost to use?

Dealio is free for shoppers. You only pay the business for whatever you buy, at the discounted price the deal gives you.

How do I sign in?

You sign in with your phone number. We text you a one-time verification code each time you need it, so there's no password to create or remember.

How do I redeem a deal?

Open the deal when you're at the business and tap Redeem. Show the confirmation screen to a staff member so they can verify it. Redeem a deal only when you're ready to use it — some are valid for a limited time once activated.

Can I use a deal more than once?

It depends on the deal. Some are a one-time offer per person, and others can be used repeatedly. The deal's details will tell you which it is.

Do deals expire?

Many do. Each deal shows its own availability, and limited-time offers display when they end. If a deal has disappeared from your feed, it's likely no longer running.

A business I love isn't on Dealio. Can I add it?

Yes — use Request a Dealio in the app to suggest a business. The more people who request a place, the higher it moves on our list to bring on board.

How do referrals and rewards work?

Every account has a referral code you can share from your profile. When friends sign up using it, you can both earn rewards. Rewards have no cash value and the program may change over time — check the rewards section for current details.

How do I manage notifications?

You can turn push notifications on or off in your phone's settings for the Dealio app. Notifications are how we let you know about new and limited-time deals near you.

How do I delete my account or my data?

Email us at support@thedealio.org from the phone number on your account, or with the number in your message, and we'll delete your account and associated personal data. See our Privacy Policy for more.
