    People are abusing the deal and buying 4+ of these with different accounts. There's people on slickdeals with over 20 orders each.

    I was wondering if I can use my $20 and my friends $20 together to get a $40 item?

    No, you can't. You're getting $20 of credit for $10. That's it. End of deal. You can't combine, you can't transfer, you can't gift. This doesn't resurrect dinosaurs, it doesn't enable human flight, and it won't get you a girlfriend. This doesn't cure male pattern baldness, doesn't increase your IQ, and doesn't create world peace.

    Do you need any other unlisted Terms and Conditions clarified?

    Yes, what about grades in classes?
    Does it improve that too?

    Seriously, everyone is not perfect.

    I got one, checked out the slick deals thread... OMG that is insane how many posts and how much +rep that deal has.

    So many people trying to rob the system, even saw a "guide" on how to create like 5 fake accounts and buy 7 cards for $30 or something like that.

    Shame people trying to be dishonest, thats how deals get ruined for everybody. Apparently they say they know how people are that created multiple accounts so I wonder how many of those people will get caught and get zip :D

    Another deal that happens about once a year is when the Logitech Triple.Fi 10's go on sale for $100 people buy like 10 of them and then sell them for $200 online to make money instead of just buying it for themselves and then its sold out quickly and people cant get them.

    The good news is Amazon usually lets you order anyways and just ships the product to you when it comes back in stock.
