Gift cards are so useful! You can use them in a store, or you can use them online. Just about any store that you like, they have a gift card for that. You can get gift cards for yourself, your family, your friends, or they make excellent small gifts. Gift cards are the perfect thing to put in Easter baskets or give for Mother’s Day.

Do You Bid on Gift Cards?

If you’re not bidding on gift cards, you should probably start. They are a no-risk way to bid on DealDash if you choose a store that you are planning on going anyway, such as Target or Bed, Bath, and Beyond. If you don’t win the gift card when you are bidding, you can always BIN (Buy It Now) and get the gift card, free shipping, and all of their bids back to use on another auction. You also get to keep the “clock time” that you accumulated by bidding on the gift card.

Wisely Using Bids to Win Bids

Are you wisely using bids to win bids on DealDash.com?

Some lucky players recently won these fantastic deals on bid packs:

100 bids–26 cents
150 bids–$1.58
200 bids–8 cents
250 bids–50 cents
400 bids–$3.37
500 bids–$1.38

Not all players are this lucky. I watched one player use more than 400 bids to win 200 and he lost. If he did a “Buy-It-Now” and paid the full 60 cents per bid to get all his bids back, he still lost. He could buy 500 bids on sale for 15 cents per bid and end up with more bids. Therefore, that’s what I call foolishly losing bids to win bids.

Of course, most DealDash customers want to win the largest bid packs, but that might not be the best strategy if you want to improve your chances of winning great deals. Why? The largest bid packs usually have a lot more competitors and are more difficult to win.

Instead of winning one large bid pack, you might have a much better chance of winning several small bid packs. To give you an idea how much easier that might be, I looked at the last nine closing costs of four of the bid packs and added them up. Then I divided each total by nine to get the average closing cost. Here’s what I found:

150 bid pack—The average closing cost was $4.20
800 bid pack—The average closing cost was $30.95
2500 bid pack—The average closing cost was $113.04
4000 bid pack—The average closing cost was $211.43

This list gives you a better idea how many bids it might take and how much more difficult it is to win a large bid pack. To win great deals on bid packs, it takes some luck of being in the right auction at the right time, but it also requires some wise planning.

Time to Win Bid Packs on DealDash!

Let’s bid on bid packs today on DealDash! Bid packs are usually easier to win than other auctions.

Do you need more bid packs on DealDash? Instead of spending your hard-earned money on bids, why not win them instead? Here are some interesting things about bidding on bid packs on DealDash.

SO Many Bid Pack Auctions

DealDash has at least 100 bid pack auctions every single day. Your odds of winning a bid pack are much greater than winning a product, simply because of supply and demand.

Normally, there will only be a few (or less) of any certain item offered on DealDash at one time. This is not true when we are talking about bid packs. Just doing a quick counting of bid pack auctions right now – there are 24 yes, twenty-four bid pack auctions going on right now. Because there are so many similar auctions going on at the same time, they are easier to win.

Bid for Free on Bid Packs

If you’re a regular reader of any of the DealDash blogs, you’re probably familiar with the ways to get free bids. For example, you can get free bids for simply bidding on DealDash auctions on consecutive days. You can also get free bids by posting a picture of yourself with your win on Facebook.

To bid on Bid Packs for free, just use the free bids that you receive from DealDash and bid on bid packs. The reason I suggest this is because you can easily win an auction for bid packs with just a few bids. On the other hand, it typically takes many more bids to win a gift card auction, for example.

Use Up Your Stragglers

Most people end up with a few straggler bids left in their bid banks after bidding in a big auction. The reality is, it’s unlikely that you will win a big auction with these stragglers. However, you could be successful in winning a smaller bid pack. Have 15 bids left in your account? Stick them in your bid buddy on the next auction for a smaller bid pack and maybe you’ll get lucky. You can then parlay those bids into a bigger bid pack auction if you like.
