How can we help you?

How does the "Sign me in automatically" work?

The "Sign me in automatically" is optional, it saves your username and password on your computer and every time you access the page you will be automatically logged in.

What happens if I forget my password?

If you forget your password, please click on the 'Forgot your Password?' link of the front of the directory or on the sponsor login page. The password recovery email will be sent to the email address provided from your Contact Information. The email will contain a link which will redirect the user to the 'Manage Account' section, where the password can be updated.

How can I change my password?

After you are logged in, click on 'Account Settings' link, you will see the "Current Password" field, type your current password in this field and your new password on the fields "Password" and "Retype Password", then hit the submit button.

Can I change my username?

Yes, you can do that by going to 'Manage account' > 'Account Settings' and typing your new e-mail.

Can I change my item level?

Yes, you can. After your item is expired you can choose the level (if it is free you can change the level anytime) and pay for it.

Can I add categories to my deal?

No, you cannot. The deal is related to the listing categories you choose.

Am I required to have an account to add items to the site?

Yes. In order to add any item, including Free items, to the directory you must have an account.

How can I sign up for an account?

To sign up as a sponsor go to the 'Advertise With Us' link at top menu, select an item and level and click in 'SIGN UP' button. Fill out all fields, write down your username and password for future reference, choose the best payment gateway for you and follow the steps to finish the process. To sign up as a visitor go to 'Sign up | Login' link at top menu, fill out all fields and click in 'Create Account'.

Why am I receiving an 'Account Locked' message?

If you attempt to access your account and type in an incorrect password 5 times the account will lock for 1 hour. This is for security reasons.

What is RankTribe?

RankTribe is a social network platform that will enable our tribes (communities) to support Black-owned businesses (and businesses that cater to Black patrons) and, most importantly, offer rank-based incentives to encourage Black businesses to support our tribes. RankTribe creates a two-way trust between the community and the business by opening up communication to address the needs of that community in terms of customer service, employment, quality goods and services. RankTribe is not a search engine, it is a social network between Black businesses and the communities they serve.

Would you say RankTribe is a competitor to Yelp or Angie's List?

No. RankTribe is not a competitor to Yelp or Angie’s List, but it fills a void that these two great services do not fulfill. RankTribe is a social network between Black owned businesses and the communities (Tribes) they serve.

Where did the name RankTribe come from?

In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank for the classification of living organisms. A tribe is a social group - a group of distinct people that depend on their land and resources within their community for their livelihood. Rank is a system used to rate or grade.

Is RankTribe only for Black businesses?

Yes. Black owned businesses and businesses that have an established history of supporting our communities.

How did you come up with the idea for RankTribe and why was it important for you to implement it?

I love to travel. I also consider myself a foodie. Whenever I visit a new city the first thing I do is search for the best places to eat (or have a warm cup of chai tea). I also believe we have the responsibility to support Black owned businesses but I found it extremely difficult to find such businesses using the current list of apps on the market today so I decided to create it myself. I mentioned the idea to a friend and they encouraged me to ‘make it happen’.
