If you use a screen reader, we've changed the way to jump between headlines. Formerly, you would use the H key to jump from heading to heading. We've now changed this to the A key for next and previous anchor. Why? Because we feel that the H key should be reserved for actual headings. Our subsections like "Most popular Deals" and "other Features" were hard to get to because they were buried amongst many headings. Hopefully you should now be able to jump through the list of deals or the headings on the page, all with simple commands. If you have any ideas for accessibility improvements, let us know using the link on this post.
