We get this question all of the time; how we do this without it costing any money.
It's just like watching your local news on TV. The news comes to you for free. You don't have to pay anything because the advertisers are paying for the news program.
The same thing happens here. Big companies want you to try their Gift Cards so the Gift Cards here do not cost you any money.
Eighteen (18) unless your state has an age restriction.
You may bid on an auction as long as you have sufficient Bidding Reward PointsTM, you are eighteen (18) or over and you live in the United States
Good common sense will tell you that we certainly do not need negative controversy or anything that puts a bad light on our network. Make sure you understand how the bidding process works and then bid in a responsible manor when participating in these auctions.
Note: Some auctions are available, only for new members or first-time bidders.
Yes. Advertisers are paying us to put on these auctions and they want people, that live in the area where their businesses are located, to have these Gift Cards. You must live in the USA and you must have a United States address to bid on these auctions. If you win an auction we need an address so we can mail you the gift cards.
Yes, our marketing partners offer promotions all of the time where you can receive additional Bidding Reward PointsTM. The idea is to let everyone that joins act like millionaire and bid on all of the Gift Carsd you want.
No. When you have the highest bid, the points are temporally put on-hold and subtracted from your balance, during active auctions. If someone else out bids you, the points on-hold are automatically added back to your balance. You DO NOT lose any points if you do not win an auction.
You will pay a sales tax on anything you purchase with a Gift Card.
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), rewards may be taxable as income. The types of rewards and the way in which you receive them determine whether they are considered taxable. In many cases, the rewards are viewed by the IRS as a discount, not as income. The best suggestion is to check with your tax adviser for a definitive answer.
