I clicked the link to the deal, the page doesn't load correctly or not at all; what's happening?
Problem: You posted a deal on your website, but when I clicked the link to the deal the page doesn't load correctly or not at all. I received a Cannot Find Server/This Page Cannot Be Displayed error.
OR
You posted a deal on your website, but I don't see a link to click.
Why is this happening?
Many large online retailers like Dell.ca and NCIX.com offer commission to website operators who refer customers to them. When a retailer has a deal and they have such a program, RFD will use referral program links provided. Retailers often offer their affiliates better deals than are generally available and we post them for you to take advantage of. However, because unscrupulous people have abused such programs in the past, many ad blockers will block referral links on legitimate sites like RFD. Unfortunately, this means that many deals posted on RFD may not be available to you unless you successfully try one of the following solutions:
Solution #1: A common fix is to configure the Hosts file used by Windows to control access to specific servers. You can check the contents by opening the file in Notepad, which is located at:
- Windows 95/98/ME: c:\windows\hosts
Many retailers use 3rd party companies to run their referral program. Grant access to these sites, either by commenting them out (using the # character at the beginning of the line) or deleting them from the Hosts file entirely:
-
bfast.com
-
cc-dt.com
-
click.linksynergy.com
-
clickserve.cc-dt.com
-
commission-junction.com
-
intactearnings.com
-
linksynergy.com
-
myaffiliateprogram.com
-
qksrv.net
-
service.bfast.com
Solution #2: Blocked advertisements can prevent a page from loading, or from rendering properly; we recommend setting permissions to allow credible advertising to appear. Configure security/networking utilities on your system for appropriate access.
- Ad Aware: This applies to the subscription versions; switch off the Ad Watch feature.
-
Norton Internet Security: Access the Web Assistant from the toolbar, and uncheck the Block Popups option.
-
Spybot Search & Destroy: Go to Immunize, and disable Permanently Running Bad Download Blocker. Also head to Advanced mode\Settings\Ignore Products and uncheck any entries from the approved servers list. If you are prompted to block anything from the list, select No, as these are legitimate ad providers and not malicious.
-
ZoneAlarm: Under Privacy Options, you will need to allow cookies from the approved servers list.
Solution #3: Regularly monitor and remove spyware/malware from your system. Try free versions of utilities such as Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Windows Antispyware.

Shopping Questions

What is online couponing and how does it work?
The concept of online couponing is no different from that of offline coupon clipping. It is the distribution and notification that clearly distinguishes the two. To date, there are three basic varieties of online couponing:
i) Via email from selected retailers for whom consumers have granted permission of notification for such deals;
ii) Via company web sites;
iii) Via banner ads on a web site
In several instances coupons must be downloaded and printed for in-store use. However, coupon downloaders can also access coupon codes to use when making online purchases as well.

- Where can I enter the coupons from the coupons sections?
Coupons are often entered during the checkout process at online stores such as Staples.ca, FutureShop.ca, and Amazon.ca. Look for a box asking for a promotional code or coupon. Some coupons are automatically added to your cart when you click on our link.

- Can online coupons be used at retail/brick and mortar stores?
This varies from retailer to retailer. Generally speaking, online store coupons cannot be used at retail stores. However, there have been instances whereby retail outlets have accepted online coupons. It is suggested that you contact the store in question to find out the terms and conditions of coupon.
