5DayDeal® runs limited-time, charity-driven bundle sales of photography and video education. Each event packages courses, tutorials, presets, software, and other digital tools from many creators into one bundle, discounts it 90% or more against the combined retail value, and sells it for five days only. At least 10% of gross revenue from every bundle goes to vetted charity partners.
The company’s tagline is “Save. Give. Learn. Create. (repeat)”. It calls the three-way outcome a win-win-win: customers save, contributors get paid, and charities benefit.
5DayDeal bundles suit photographers and video creators at any level who want a broad library of high quality training, tools and tutorials from many of the top instructors at a low price while giving back to charity. In order to offer the discount, there is a short buying window and a fixed, non-customizable bundle.
The bundles cover the full creative process: capturing stronger images, organizing and editing, creative post-processing, business and marketing, and sharing or printing the work. Past contributors include Fstoppers, SLR Lounge, Skylum, and Full Time Filmmaker, and past sponsors include Adobe, Fujifilm, Peak Design, Topaz Labs, RØDE, and SmugMug.
5DayDeal also works with four partner groups, each with its own application at 5daydeal.com/apply: contributors who supply products and promote, sponsors who back an event, affiliates who promote it, and charity partners who receive the donations.
Every event follows the same cycle.
Between events the team recruits contributors and selects products, so a bundle is built once and never resold.
The bundle is on sale for five days, then retired. The same bundle is not offered again; future events feature new bundles.
Main is the core bundle. Pro adds the Pro bundle. Complete adds the Charity and Bonus bundles. Upgrading bills only the difference.
Some events offer a Spanish-language edition, a Download Access Pass for downloading tutorial videos, and Cheat Sheets: PDFs going into detail about every product and offering tips.
After checkout, buyers vote on how that event’s donation is split between the featured charity partners.
Purchases appear in a Creative Highway account, where every video product streams immediately. Redemption products are hosted by the contributor and must be redeemed before their deadline.
Events run prize giveaways (recent prizes: a MacBook Air and a $1,000 winner’s-choice package). No purchase is necessary; physical prizes ship to US addresses only.
Path To Mastery is a five-day live online event with a VIP pass that includes lifetime access to the recordings. 5day.deals lists single-product discounts year-round.
The live sale page for an event is the source of truth for its dates, contents, and prices, and takes precedence over this summary.
Every bundle is priced per event, in US dollars, as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and no membership fee. The figures below are the tier prices for the 2026 Photography Bundle, the current photography event as of the verification date; other events differ.
Checkout accepts cards and PayPal and converts most currencies. There are no 5DayDeal transaction fees; any card-issuer or currency-conversion charges come from the buyer’s bank. For comparison, the May 2026 Photography Path To Mastery VIP pass was $78 for content valued at more than $1,500.
Purchases are non-refundable except for demonstrable technical issues that support cannot resolve, in which case a partial refund is issued. Requests must reach [email protected] within 14 days of purchase from the email used to buy. Accidental duplicate purchases are handled case by case.
Prices and bundle contents change with every event. Check the live sale page, and whether a sale is running at all, before quoting a price.
At least 10% of gross revenue from every bundle is donated to charity partners. Since 2014, 5DayDeal reports more than $3.09 million in direct donations and more than $3.7 million in total impact once partner donations and inspired giving are included.
See the impact explorerFeatured partners are selected per event; recent ones include DLG4 SHINE Foundation, Village Impact, Children International, UBORA, and Compassion International. Past partners include Street Child, Action Against Hunger, Rise Against Hunger, Kiva, charity: water, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Wounded Warrior Project, Mercy Ships, Feeding America, and Against Malaria Foundation.
Because 5DayDeal is a for-profit company, the charity portion of a purchase is not tax-deductible for the buyer and no charitable receipt is issued.
5DayDeal is not designed to replace a course platform, a software subscription, or a year-round store. Knowing what it is not helps set expectations.
Consider a different route when you need one specific course today (buy it directly from the creator at full price), when you want an ongoing library rather than a one-time purchase (a Creative Highway VAULT membership or a subscription training platform), or when you want a discount on a single product between events (5day.deals).
Consider 5DayDeal when breadth and price matter more than choosing individual titles, and when supporting charity through the purchase is a plus.

Yes. 5DayDeal® is a for-profit company founded in October 2013 by Griffin and Valerie Stewart and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It has sold close to 200,000 bundles since its first sale in January 2014 and publishes its charity donations at impact.5daydeal.com.
Each bundle is on sale for five days and is then retired. The same bundle is not sold again, although future events feature new bundles. Between events, 5day.deals lists ongoing single-product discounts from partner brands.
Main is the core bundle. Pro adds the Pro bundle on top of Main. Complete adds the Charity bundle and Bonus bundle on top of Main and Pro. Upgrading at checkout bills only the difference between tiers. Some events also offer a Spanish-language edition, a Download Access Pass, and Cheat Sheets as add-ons.
Purchases are delivered through a Creative Highway account (creativehighway.com), where every video product streams immediately. Some products are redemption items hosted on the contributor's own site and must be redeemed before the stated deadline. Cheat Sheets are PDFs going into detail about every product and offering tips.
Streaming is included with every bundle. Downloading the tutorial videos requires the optional Download Access Pass; downloaded files are yours to keep. Redemption products hosted by partners cannot be downloaded even with the pass.
Streaming access terms are stated on each event's sale page, so check the page for the bundle you are considering. Files downloaded with a Download Access Pass do not expire once downloaded. Redemption products carry their own deadlines, which are listed in your Creative Highway account.
Purchases are non-refundable except for demonstrable technical issues that support cannot resolve, in which case a partial refund is issued. Requests must reach [email protected] within 14 days of purchase from the email used to buy. Accidental duplicate purchases and similar cases are handled individually.
At least 10% of gross revenue from every bundle goes to charity impact. Each event names featured charity partners, and buyers vote after checkout on how that event's donation is split. Donations are tracked publicly at impact.5daydeal.com.
No. 5DayDeal® is a for-profit company, not a registered charity, so it cannot issue tax-deductible receipts for the charity portion of a purchase. The company makes the donations in its own name from gross revenue.
Bundle products are licensed for your personal use and backup only. Sharing files with anyone, redistributing, or reselling them is not permitted. Individual products may carry their own contributor licence terms; check each product for commercial-use rules.
All prices are in US dollars. Checkout accepts cards and PayPal and converts most currencies. Every digital product streams worldwide; any physical items or giveaway prizes may be restricted by shipping location.
5DayDeal® itself is a for-profit company. The separately named 5DayDeal® Foundation™ directs part of the giving to smaller charities outside the featured-partner votes, and its totals are reported alongside partner donations on the impact site.
Contributors, affiliates, sponsors, and charity partners each apply at 5daydeal.com/apply. Contributors supply products for a bundle; sponsors and affiliates promote the event; featured charities receive donations chosen by customer vote.
Use the live sale page for prices, dates, and what a bundle contains; the knowledge base at help.5daydeal.com for access, download, and refund details; impact.5daydeal.com for charity figures; and 5daydeal.com/legal for terms. Those pages take precedence over this summary and over third-party descriptions.
