12 Black Friday GPT Prompts for Comparing Deals Without Getting Fooled

Search the web and verify this claimed Black Friday deal: [PASTE CLAIM OR URL].

Use only (1) the seller's official website, pricing page, checkout, help center, newsroom or published terms, or (2) a payment partner explicitly named in the offer. Do not use coupon sites, affiliate roundups, social posts or search snippets as proof.

Return a table with: status, exact product/plan, regular price, deal price, effective saving, eligibility, region, start time, expiry with timezone, renewal price, refund/cancellation terms, source URL and page update date if shown.

Use exactly one status: Live and vendor-verified, Historical only, No verified deal, Expired, or Unverified claim. If a field is absent, write “Not published”—do not infer it. End with the exact facts I still need to confirm at checkout.

Investigate the price history behind this offer: [PRODUCT, PLAN AND DEAL URL].

Find dated, inspectable evidence from the vendor or a named payment partner for the current regular price, current deal price and any prior public prices or promotions. Ignore unsourced charts, coupon sites and affiliate claims. Separate taxes, shipping, credits and add-ons from the base price.

Build a dated timeline with source links. Then answer:
1. Is the advertised comparison price the normal price for the same product or plan?
2. Is “lowest ever” supported by the evidence found?
3. Did the plan, included usage or product version change?
4. What cannot be verified?

Do not estimate missing history or convert an absence of evidence into “never discounted.”

Check this coupon claim without trying to guess or generate a code: [CODE OR CLAIM] for [VENDOR].

Search only the vendor's official promotion terms, help center, checkout guidance and any named issuing partner. Determine whether the vendor confirms that this specific code or promotion exists.

Report: verified status, issuing party, eligible users, new-vs-existing customer rule, eligible plan, region, redemption route, stacking rule, discount or free period, expiry with timezone, renewal price, cancellation effect and the source URL for every claim.

If the code appears only on third-party coupon or affiliate pages, label it “Unverified claim.” Do not test random variants, invent a replacement code or tell me that a coupon box proves the code is valid.

Compare the true cost of these offers: [PASTE OFFERS OR OFFICIAL URLS]. My expected use is [MONTHS OR UNITS] and my location is [COUNTRY/STATE].

Use only figures published by each vendor or a named payment partner. For every option, show the formula and calculate: amount due today, total paid during my chosen period, tax/shipping if published, mandatory add-ons, renewal price, unused months or credits, and effective cost per month or unit.

Keep introductory pricing, annual billing, rebates, credits and cash discounts in separate columns. Do not count a future rebate as an upfront discount. If taxes or fees require checkout, mark them “Unknown until checkout.” Rank by total cost only after normalizing the same features and usage.

Analyze the renewal risk for this deal: [OFFER AND OFFICIAL TERMS URL]. Assume I keep it for [NUMBER] months/years.

Extract the promotional charge, promotion length, standard renewal charge, billing interval, cancellation deadline, minimum commitment and any forfeited benefits. Cite the vendor or named payment partner for each input.

Show a period-by-period cost table and calculate:
- total cost through my planned end date;
- the first date or billing period when the effective monthly cost changes;
- the break-even point versus [ALTERNATIVE PRICE/PLAN];
- the amount at risk if I forget to cancel.

If renewal or cancellation timing is not published, stop and label the calculation incomplete instead of assuming terms.

Compare these AI-tool plans by usable output, not headline discount: [PLANS AND OFFICIAL URLS]. My workload is [TASKS/GENERATIONS/MINUTES/WORDS PER MONTH].

From vendor-owned sources, extract included credits or limits, reset/rollover rules, overage cost, feature restrictions, output quality, commercial-use limits and the price after any promotion.

Calculate the cost per usable [GENERATION/MINUTE/1,000 WORDS/TASK] under low, expected and high usage. Show every formula. Do not assign a dollar value to bonus credits unless the vendor publishes a directly comparable purchase price. Mark account-specific or unpublished limits as unknown. Recommend the cheapest plan that covers the expected workload without downgrading required features.

Check whether I qualify for this offer: [OFFICIAL OFFER URL]. My situation: [COUNTRY, CUSTOMER STATUS, STUDENT/NONPROFIT/BUSINESS STATUS, BILLING PLATFORM].

Use the vendor's current offer terms and any named verification or payment partner. Return a yes/no/not-enough-information checklist for country, age, institution or organization, new-vs-existing customer status, previous-promotion use, required verification, payment method, direct-vs-app-store billing and eligible plan.

Quote no more than a short phrase from the terms; otherwise paraphrase and link to the exact page. Flag anything that must be tested while signed in. Do not treat a successful landing-page visit as proof of eligibility.

Read the official return, refund, cancellation and promotion terms for this offer: [PRODUCT/OFFER URL]. I will buy from [WEB, APP STORE, MARKETPLACE OR RETAILER] in [LOCATION].

Tell me: who processes the payment, who handles refunds, return/refund window, excluded products, usage limits that void a refund, cancellation path, cancellation deadline, access after cancellation, auto-renewal amount, prepaid balance treatment and any restocking/return-shipping cost.

Cite the responsible seller or named payment partner for every time-sensitive term. If the purchase channel changes the policy, show each channel separately. Finish with a five-item pre-purchase checklist. Do not assume that a general policy applies to a promotional or digital product when its terms say otherwise.

Audit the urgency claims on this deal page: [URL OR SCREENSHOT PLUS URL].

Check the vendor's published promotion terms, page source text when accessible, checkout and any named payment partner. List each urgency signal: countdown, expiry date, “limited stock,” “today only,” price increase, waitlist or expiring bonus.

For each signal, report the exact evidence, timezone, whether it persists after refresh or a private window if you can verify that, and one status: Verified deadline, Inventory claim only, Personalized/account-specific, Inconsistent, or Unverified.

Do not call urgency fake merely because it uses a timer. Do not call it genuine without matching terms. Tell me what screenshot or checkout evidence to save before purchase.

Compare [PLAN A] and [PLAN B] using their current official pricing and feature pages. My must-have requirements are: [LIST]. My expected usage is [USAGE].

First build a requirement matrix covering only features that affect my decision: limits, model/version, seats, storage, credits, export quality, commercial rights, integrations, support and cancellation. Cite the vendor for every changing fact.

Then compare the verified total cost over [PERIOD] for the cheapest configuration that meets every must-have. Do not award value to features I did not request. If one plan fails a must-have, mark it disqualified even if its discount is larger. List any feature wording that is ambiguous or account-specific and needs checkout confirmation.

Rank these candidate deals for my needs: [PASTE OFFICIAL URLS]. My budget is [BUDGET], use case is [USE CASE], required features are [FEATURES], and commitment limit is [MONTHS].

Use this evidence order: current vendor checkout/terms, current vendor pricing/help page, named payment-partner terms, dated vendor announcement. Reject coupon sites and affiliate claims as verification.

Score each option from 0–5 for evidence quality, requirement fit, normalized total cost, commitment risk, renewal risk and refund flexibility. Show the inputs and formulas before the scores. A large percentage cannot compensate for missing proof or a failed requirement. Give one verdict: Buy now, Use free/monthly first, Wait for verified terms, or Reject. State what new evidence would change the verdict.

Challenge this deal recommendation as a skeptical fact-checker: [PASTE THE AI ANSWER OR YOUR SHORTLIST].

Identify every factual claim, calculation and inference. For each one, mark it Vendor-supported, Named-partner-supported, Calculation from supported inputs, Inference, Outdated, Unsupported or Contradicted. Open the cited pages and check that they say what the answer claims.

Recalculate percentages, annual totals, unit costs and renewal costs independently. Look for mismatched plans, currencies, taxes, excluded regions, first-month-only pricing, expired terms, non-refundable commitments, omitted usage limits and fabricated citations.

Return a corrected recommendation using only supported facts. If the evidence is insufficient, say “Do not buy based on this research yet” and list the exact official pages or checkout fields still needed.
