There are 14 daily trading cards you can get (1 per day) for exploring your queue.

Also 14 daily stickers for visiting a sale category.

I miss the days of the short discount windows because the deals were so much better.

True but that resulted in it's own problems. Think the issue these days is publishers/devs get greedy and suddenly the discounts are worse? You can track the discounts with steamdb and for example the forests devs literally made the worst sale on their game since it came out. Probably to cash on the fact that the new one came out and people might want to check the older one. I wanted to get far cry 3 and was surprised to find the sale was worse (i'm not going to give ubisoft more money, i'd give it to indie devs but not ubisoft).
