I suggest aggregating multiple identical listings into one line item. I decided to just sort all cards by % discount to see if there were any cards I'd actually use that were heavily discounted. After 3 pages of $25 Fandango cards, I gave up and left. Edit: I decided to go back to see how bad it is. Pages 2-27 are Fandango cards. From my cursory scan, it looks like those 26 pages only list two different card values.…

Argh! Yeah. This is the #1 most requested thing, we're working on it, trust me :-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Woooooooops! Will fix that.

This also happens with "submit" after any entry whatsoever if there's no JavaScript around. Basic search forms should ideally not require such things.

We'll fix that as well as keyboard shortcuts on the autosuggest. cheers

Everyone has already addressed the duplicate card issue, so the only beef I actually have is not being able to hit the arrow keys to select the stores that turn up in a search.

For example, I type "Amazon" and I see "Amazon.com" in the drop down, so I tap the down arrow to select it but I can't seem to.

Other than that, love the site and its design. Good luck!

Thanks for the compliments on the design. We'll fix those two issues.

I love the idea. A few small comments:

- On the front page, the little arrow-in-a-circle image rotates on mouseover, and rotates back on mouseout. This occurs whether or not the display is down. I think it makes more sense only to rotate when the item is actually expanded (if you want to indicate it's clickable, maybe you could use the color change thing for that purpose).

- After doing a search for amazon, it found nothing, but... (\) there was still a horizontal list of letters A-Z, and I have no idea what that's supposed to do, (\) the most prominent link on the page is the "back to top", even though I'm at the top already, and (\*) there's no obvious way to re-search other than to click on the search bar at the top. I would think that, if nothing was found, you should have a "search again" box with the cursor already in it.

I absolutely love the sliders for the amount of discount. Very nice.
