Biddees is a fast, fun and easy new way to save money on great products and services you use every day while helping support worthy nonprofit organizations without costing a penny more!

It is very simple to do and you are guaranteed to save money!

• You participate in exciting decreasing-price auctions for brand-name prepaid cards.
• As people participate in any particular auction, the price of the card gets lower and lower.
• You use a token (what we call Little Biddee Things™) to participate and view the current price of a card.
• You will then have an exclusive opportunity to purchase that card at that price – which is guaranteed to be lower than the card’s face value.
• And each time you purchase Little Biddee Things™ (LBTs), a percentage of your purchase is donated to the nonprofit organization of your choice – at no cost to you!

Step 1: Create an Account

To participate in an auction, you’ll need to set up a Biddees account and fund it with some LBTs. We give you 3 FREE LBTs when you register, but you can purchase more if you’d like. Click the “Register Now” button to create an account.

Enter your name and email address, select a username and password, enter your payment information and then decide how many LBTs you want to purchase. You can also select the nonprofit organization that will receive donations from your LBT purchases.

Step 2: Browse Open Auctions

Once you’ve registered, look for an auction that interests you. Browse featured auctions on the Homepage or click the “Browse Auctions” link in the top menu to view all open auctions. Most prepaid cards are available in multiple denominations. Once you’ve found the auction in which you want to participate, click the “View Auction” button to go to the auction page.

Step 3: Viewing the Card’s Current Price

To participate in the auction you’ve selected, click the “View Price” button. An auction window will appear. If you are the only person currently viewing the price of this card, the current price appears and one LBT is deducted from your account. You’ll see two buttons – Buy Now and No Thanks.

You’ll also see a timer, showing how much time you have left to decide whether to purchase the card at the price shown. During this time, you have the exclusive right to buy this card at the current price. Once the timer reaches 0 seconds, your chance to purchase the card ends and the card is released for other users to view.

Sometimes another person is already viewing the card when you click “View Price”. In this situation, you’ll be entered into a queue with other users waiting to view the card’s price. Your estimated wait time will be displayed on the screen.

If none of the users ahead of you in line chooses to purchase the card, the current price will be displayed, your account will be charged one LBT, and you’ll have the opportunity to purchase the card at the price shown. If one of the users ahead of you in line does decide to purchase the card, you and other users still waiting in the queue will be transferred to the next auction for the same product. You can elect not to be transferred to the next auction by unchecking the box at the bottom of the auction screen.

Step 4: Winning the Auction

When a card’s current price is displayed, you may decide to purchase the card at the price shown. To buy the card, simply click the “Buy Now” button. You’ll immediately be taken to the Express Checkout screen, where you can enter your shipping address and choose a shipping method (standard shipping is FREE).

Once you’ve finalized your purchase information, the payment method on file in your account will be authorized for the total amount of your purchase. If your payment method cannot be authorized because of a lack of funds or any other reason, your purchase will be canceled and the card will be released for other users to view. Therefore, it’s important to keep your account updated with a valid and active credit card.

We’ll immediately begin processing your purchase and preparing it for shipment. Processing usually takes one business day and delivery time depends on the shipment method you selected during checkout. For details on our shipping rates and estimated delivery times, visit our Shipping & Returns page.

Next Steps

After winning an auction, you can choose to participate in another auction or simply sit back and bask in the excitement of getting an amazing deal on a great prepaid card! Maybe you even want to brag about your experience to friends and family on one of your favorite social networks!

If you’ve spent a few of your LBTs, now might also be a good time to add more to your account or enroll in our auto-refill option so you’ll never miss an auction because you’re out of LBTs.

If you chose not to purchase the card you viewed, you’ll see that auction listed in the My Current Auctions area located on the right side of every page. (You can also see this information in My Account and on the auction page of cards that you’ve already viewed.)

For each auction in which you’ve participated, but which hasn’t yet ended, you’ll see the auction details along with the current status of the price – whether it has changed or not since you last viewed the price. If the price has changed, you might want to spend another LBT to view the lower price, or you can choose to wait longer and hope to get an even better deal.
