A deal site that really pays

Here's a new Web site that pays shoppers who find the best deals online, literally. BeatThat.com gives members $2 for every deal the site approves as lower than what's already listed on the site.

BeatThat.com is entirely member driven. Stores selling items are rated for safety and reliability using different colored flags. Green, yellow and red. You can guess which means what.

There are a few rules about which deals are eligible for the $2 payback. Deals must be for new products, no refurbished or returned items. The merchant must have the product in stock. Deals must be in US Dollars and the merchant must accept credit cards for payment. The final cost must include shipping cost to a US zip code. Rebates/coupons/discount programs are acceptable, but must be accessible to all shoppers.

Seems like the site still has a few kinks to get out. When I clicked on a deal showing an HP printer for $47.97, much lower than the $123 list price, it re-directed me to a page that had the lowest price of $57 from a different seller. Perhaps the original discount seller already sold out.
