Only tangentially related maybe, but I've noticed an increase in the 'scamminess' of a lot of daily deals lately. Stuff like a cottage for £70/weekend but if you read the small print there's a 'cleaning charge' of £250 - to give one recent example.

I don't know if that perhaps hints at the desperateness of daily deal companies to get new business in running such promotions, but it certainly dampens any enthusiasm I have for checking these sites again in the future.
