About Us

Leon, founder of NewsFlash

Hi, I’m Leon — the person behind NewsFlash. I started this site after one too many “unmissable deals” that turned out to be anything but. A 70%-off sticker on a price that had quietly doubled. A free-shipping offer that only applied to one colorway. A cashback bonus that expired the day I hit the threshold.

I got tired of feeling outsmarted at checkout, so I started doing the math myself — and I kept the notes. NewsFlash is those notes, published as guides.

Why I started NewsFlash

I’m not a retailer, a coupon network, or a marketing agency. I’m an everyday shopper who reads the fine print for fun. I spend my weekends comparing price histories, testing cashback portals with small orders, and screenshotting the exclusions sections nobody reads.

Everything on this site comes from that habit: verify the price, check the terms, run the math, then decide whether the “deal” is actually worth your time.

What I actually do

  • Run the numbers on memberships, bundles, and cashback offers — the lifetime value, not the headline discount
  • Verify promotions against merchant terms before I recommend them
  • Publish checklists you can use at checkout in two minutes
  • Call out weak deals — expired codes, inflated reference prices, and fake urgency

My editorial rules

  • If an offer is expired or misleading, I say so — I don’t recycle old codes to look busy
  • Prices change fast; every guide tells you what to verify at checkout
  • Commissions never buy a positive review. A weak offer gets called weak
