Confirm identity
Record the ASIN, model, generation, capacity, colour, bundle and condition. A material mismatch stops a like-for-like comparison.
Our methodology
A repeatable standard for judging value.
Every future deal is expected to pass the same identity, price, market and wording checks before it appears publicly.
Verify the live offer
Check the current Amazon UK price, seller, fulfilment, stock and any broadly available voucher. Record the time of the observation.
Build recent context
Compare with recent Amazon selling-price observations. RRP can be shown as context but cannot prove value by itself.
Match the UK market
Use the delivered price for the same product and condition from credible UK listings. Note when the sample is limited.
Assess product evidence
Consider rating volume, repeated quality concerns, seller clarity and whether a newer alternative changes the value case.
Describe payments carefully
Record only what was observed. Any monthly figure is illustrative; Amazon confirms availability for the individual customer.
Score and expire
Strong candidates must beat both recent Amazon context and the matched market. Stale or unverifiable offers are removed rather than left live.
Automatic price verdict
One score. Three clear outcomes.
The same thresholds control the public gauge and the automated review workflow.
Pass
The evidence does not support promoting the price. The candidate is rejected automatically.
Consider
The price has some merit but is not strong enough for automatic publication. It enters the exception queue.
Strong value
The price clears the value threshold. Complete, current evidence is still required before automatic approval.
Publication threshold
What can become a daily pick
A candidate must be identifiable, current, below its recent Amazon baseline and below a matched UK-market price. High-confidence evidence is required. A possible monthly-payment observation can make a qualifying deal more useful, but cannot rescue a weak price.
If the evidence is incomplete or contradictory, automation sends it to an exception queue. If no candidate qualifies, the honest result is no daily pick.
Important limitation
We cannot know your eligibility.
Amazon can present payment options differently by product, seller, account and time. Price or Pass will never promise that a particular customer can spread the cost. Always confirm the live option and terms on Amazon before ordering.
