Hello New DealDash Bidders!

If you’re a new bidder on DealDash there are a few things you need to know. Read on for some tips on DealDash basics.

Greetings, new bidder on DealDash! You are in for a very exciting experience. DealDash is a fun and exciting website where you just might take home a big win. It’s not a good idea to just start bidding without reading up on how to use the site, though. Read this article for some DealDash information that you need to know.

Making an Account

The first thing that you need to do is open a DealDash bidding account. If you don’t have an account you can still look around, but you won’t be able to try out the site. It’s simple to open up an account, it just takes a minute. All you need to sign up is your name, email, and a user name chosen by you. Think about it carefully, because you can’t change it afterward.

Buying Bids

When you have completed your sign up, you need to buy your first bid pack. Your first bid pack of 60 bids is $36. You can use these bids to see if you enjoy DealDash. However, if for some reason you don’t like bidding on DealDash this amount will be fully refunded to you if you contact customer service. There is a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if you decide that DealDash isn’t for you then just contact customer service under the “Help” section on the main DealDash page and they will assist you in canceling your account and having the cost of your first bid pack refunded to you.

After you have purchased your first bid pack, then you are eligible for bid discounts! There is a different discount listed every day, which you can see on the main DealDash page. Bid packs come in many different amounts of bids. You can get a pack of 60, 300, 600, 1200, or 2400. Bids cost between .13-.60 per bid. The most common price for bids is around $.15-.17. Sometimes they dip down to the .12-.14 range, typically on holiday weekends. Just keep your eyes peeled, and check the main DealDash page often.

Bidding Explained to Newbies

There are two main ways that you can bid on DealDash – single bids or by using the BidBuddy. Placing a single bid is extremely simple. You can place single bids on the front page, or by opening up an individual auction and clicking the “bid” button.

Using the BidBuddy is a much better option for most situations. The BidBuddy is on all auctions and is available to all bidders to use. Your BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner. To use the BidBuddy simply open up an individual item’s auction page, and put in as many or as few bids as you like. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time.

The Five Perks That Keep Me Bidding Happy on DealDash

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of DealDash. There are five major reasons I love DealDash and I call these reasons “the DealDash perks.”

Perk #1: There’s Nothing Better Than Free Bids

There are two common everyday ways to earn free bids on DealDash. The first way is as simple as signing into DealDash once a day to earn up to 30 free bids each day. All you have to do is place one singular bid on any auction and the free bids are automatically added to your account.

The second way to earn free bids on DealDash is through the “Time as highest bidder” ticker at the bottom of the page. You earn up to 10 second for each bid placed as the counter counts your 10 seconds down. As you complete levels, you earn more and more free bids for each level. I’m currently at Level 41 and my next goal level, I will receive 630 free bids! It’s even better when you can earn up to two or three times the normal amounts on the ticker during special promotions! Every bid counts and there’s nothing better than free bids!

Perk #2: Free Shipping Every Day

I don’t know about you but I rarely buy anything online unless free shipping is one of the perks of purchasing. At DealDash, you get free shipping every day! You don’t even have to think about it! Even during special promotions like free and half-price wins, it’s always, always, always free shipping at DealDash!

Perk #3: The Never Waste Bids Buy It Now Option

For one of my first auctions I was in the market for a small space heater and put about 300 bids in before calling it quits. Since I was already looking to purchase the same product, I just went ahead and purchased it through DealDash and got all 300 bids back in my account for using the Buy It Now feature. It’s a great way to shop and to know that you’re never really wasting a bid when you use this option.

Perk #4: Unique Gift Ideas You Can’t Find Anywhere Else

I’ve used DealDash on so many occasions—from birthdays to baby showers to Christmas—to stock my closet with gifts. The items available at DealDash range from practical to unique in every way. If you’re looking for a “wow” gift item, you can’t go wrong with DealDash! It’s my go-to place for gifts you just can’t find anywhere else.

Perk #5: Accessible Top-Notch Customer Service

There is no comparison to the accessible and courteous care bidders receive through DealDash Customer Support. Finding answers or sharing concerns and ideas is a simple email or chat session away. DealDash seems to operate from a customer satisfaction philosophy and really listens to their customers and provides some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced.

I hope by sharing these perks, you’ll come to see just why I think DealDash is so awesome. Happy bidding!

Getting Overwhelmed on DealDash? Here’s Help!

If you feel like you’re getting overwhelmed on DealDash, no problem. Just take a step back and read this article.

DealDash doesn’t want you to feel overwhelmed when you’re bidding. DealDash wants you to bid responsibly and have a great time in the auctions. Sometimes, especially when you’re a newbie, it’s easy to get confused and overwhelmed with all of the different auctions and promotions that are going on at any given time. DealDash wants you to enjoy your shopping entertainment experience to the fullest extent. Here are some tips and ideas from DealDash to keep you from getting overwhelmed.

Familiarize Yourself With the Rules

There are really only a few rules on DealDash, but to avoid making any mistakes that might put your account in jeopardy. There are just a couple things to remember. There is only one bidding account per household, and you are not allowed to bid in any auctions that other people that you know are bidding in. For a full list of the rules, just click this link right here. Once you have familiarized yourself with the rules, it will make things more clear and you’ll be less likely to get overwhelmed.

Set Bidding Limits for Yourself

Another way that you can keep yourself from getting overwhelmed is setting bidding limits for yourself for each auction, and not “cheating.” Setting reasonable bidding limits for yourself makes a whole lot of sense when you’re a new bidder and trying not to get overwhelmed. If you have a hard time sticking to limits that you set for yourself, then your BidBuddy will be your best friend. The BidBuddy is available on every auction on DealDash, and you can just put your bids in and turn off your computer. This is a way to assure that you won’t go over your limit and get yourself feeling overwhelmed.

Buying It Now (BIN)

BIN (Which means Buy It Now) is an excellent way to make sure that you don’t get overwhelmed when bidding in an auction. Remember when I suggested sticking to a bidding limit on each auction? Well, if you get a little carried away and bid more than your limit – don’t worry. You can always BIN the item so you don’t get that overwhelmed feeling when you realized that you spent too many bids on a particular item.

BINning an item means that you agree to pay the full retail price for the item and in return, you will receive your bids back from DealDash. All auctions are availible for you to BIN, as long as you placed at least a bid before there was a winner.

DealDash Heroes: Nurses

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about nurses.

Everyone has been in contact with a nurse at some time or another, and while they aren’t typically categorized as a “hero”, I believe that they are. These men and women are the calm and compassionate forces that help us feel better when we’re sick or hurt. Here is a little bit more information about nurses, and their importance in our lives.

History of Nursing

There have, of course, been nurses practically since the beginning of time. There are records all the way back from the year 300 A.D, with people assisting doctors in surgery and patient care. However, nurses really came into their own in 1860, when Florence Nightingale opened the first nursing school. Florence Nightingale was known as one of the most popular and beloved nurses in history.

Nursing became an extremely popular profession during WW2. Many, many thousands of women volunteered to go overseas and become nurses to our injured soldiers. This is when nurses really began to be called heroes.

What Types of Nurses are There?

There are dozens and dozens of different types of nurses. Some you have probably heard of, such as school nurses and operating room nurses. There are probably many other types of nurses that you didn’t even know existed such as nurse anesthetists and forensic nurses. There are different levels of education and degrees that a nurse can achieve such as LPN, RN, BSN, and MSN.

Things That Nurses Do

Nurses do hundreds of things daily, such as take information from patients, check vital signs, administer medications, and give comfort to patients. Nurses can do almost all of the things that doctors can do (barring surgery!), and in fact, my own children typically see a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor when they have a regular appointment.

My personal favorite type of nurse that I have come in contact with is labor and delivery nurses. Each time that I have been in the hospital to have my babies it’s been the nurses who have kept me company, gotten me ice chips and blankets, and helped me during birth, and even after birth. The doctor might have been the one who delivered my babies, but the nurses were the people that I shared my fears and joys with. For all of you current, future, and retired nurses out there – thank you for all that you do!
