Some old news, i came across. Slickdeals was sold for $500mm in 2018. I am sure it is higher now.
So how much was torched by fatwallet owners? I am sure part of the reason for high valuation was due to fatwallet getting killed. still. unbelievable.

Oddly I read about this as well a few months ago. I hadn’t realized Slickdeals sold out to Goldman, either.
To be fair, ebates → Rakuten likely makes more on their current model than they would have if they kept the old FatWallet branding and the forum. If I had to guess, Rakuten is almost certainly one of the most used shopping portals on the web.

for what?
Sadly, there ain’t. SD is decent by keyword. Over the last couple of years, they’ve learned to milk the keyword alerts better than Guernsey milkers, without the pleasure.
