HIGHEST BIDDER MULTIPLIER
Each time you are the highest bidder, your bidder bar fills up. When the bar is full, you can claim your free bids and your level goes up. During “Highest bidder multiplier” promotions the bar fills up faster, meaning that you will earn the next level and the free bids faster!
FLASH SALES
More excitement, more deals. The timer counts down to the starting time of the auctions. Make sure to be online early enough to check out all the auctions before they start to make sure you find the most interesting products.
SPECIAL BID PRICES
The bid price may change daily depending on the active offers. Make sure to check out the current offer often, not to miss out on the cheapest days.
CHALLENGES
Check the Rewards and Challenges page for ongoing challenges that can earn you special rewards. Challenges require you to complete a task or a set of tasks before the challenge ends to get a reward. Rewards are automatically added to your account at the time of completion.
Auction Twists
Look for these special auction twist icons that change the auction rules and give you extra benefits.
DISCOUNTED AUCTION WINS
Win these auctions and receive an extra discount over the final auction price!
MYSTERY AUCTIONS
The item being auctioned is revealed just 5 minutes before the auction starts. And BidBuddies can only be booked once the item is revealed.
NO EXCHANGE AUCTIONS
Winners of these auctions cannot exchange the item for bids.
RUNNER-UP AUCTIONS
The auction's first runner-up will receive a personal 50% Buy It Now offer, and the opportunity to get all the bids they placed in the auction returned.
LEADERBOARD AUCTIONS
When the Auction leaderboard is active, the three bidders who have collected the most Time As Highest Bidder earn additional bid rewards! Time earned in the leaderboard rankings is not affected by Time As Highest Bidder multipliers.
NO RE-ENTRY AUCTIONS
In auctions marked with the No Re-Entry icon, bidders cannot re-enter after the No Jumper limit.
Bids can only be placed using BidBuddy. After the No Jumper limit is reached, bidders who do not have a BidBuddy booked (or run out) cannot re-enter the auction.
DUEL AUCTIONS
In auctions marked with the Duel Auction icon, the auction becomes a duel between the final two bidders! After the No Jumper limit is reached, if two users have placed the last four bids and no one else has bids booked in the auction, a 60-second timer will start counting down. After the timer ends, if no other bidders have bid, other bidders are locked out of the auction.
EARLY BIRD AUCTIONS
In auctions marked with the Early Bird icon, you can only book bids 10 seconds before the auction starts. So be an Early Bird and see who’s there to get the worm!
OVERLOAD AUCTIONS
In auctions marked with the Overload icon, you can only book a maximum of 100 bids to the auction at any given time. You can top up your booked bids as often as you like, assuming you have less than 100 bids booked in the auction. If you try booking more than 100 bids in the auction, up to 100 bids are added and the rest of the bids are left in your account. Participating in an Overload auction does not affect the number of bids you can place in normal auctions.
SPOILS AUCTIONS
In auctions marked with the Spoils icon, winning the auction gives you free bids. The number of bids equals the dollar number of the Buy It Now price. For example, a product with a Buy It Now price of $100 will give you 100 extra free bids when you win the auction.
SPYBUDDY AUCTIONS
Every 60 minutes in auctions marked with the SpyBuddy icon, you can reveal all booked bids for one minute. Any bid count of over 500 is displayed as 500+. The list of booked bids does not update after the reveal; instead, you must wait at least 60 minutes to reveal again.
TRIPLE-BOOKED AUCTIONS
You can only participate in three auctions marked with the Triple-Booked icon simultaneously. You can place single bids in as many Triple-Booked Auctions as you want, given that you have bids booked in two or fewer Triple-Booked Auctions. Once you have bids booked in three auctions, you can only bid in other Triple-Booked auctions if you cancel the bids booked in one auction. Placing single bids in Triple-Booked auctions where you have bids booked is possible. Participating in the Triple-Booked Auctions does not affect the number of regular auctions you can participate in.
10-BID AUCTIONS
Each time you bid, it will deduct 10 bids from your account. The BidBuddy needs to be booked as a multiple of 10. For example, if you book 50 bids in BidBuddy, you will become the top bidder 5 times. Time As Highest Bidder, Daily Returning Bidder Reward and certain challenges (place X number of bids) will be multiplied accordingly.
Promotions Running Every Day
DealDash customers loved these promotions so much that we now run them every day!
NO JUMPER AUCTIONS
All DealDash auctions have a "No Jumper" limit. With No Jumper auctions, new bidders can't enter the auction after the auction price reaches the No Jumper amount (usually $5.00, but this amount sometimes changes for special events).
ROYALTY PROGRAM
The DealDash Royalty Program is a Loyalty Program for all DealDash Users. It’s a way for you to enhance your shopping experience. And it’s a way for us to say “Thank You" for your loyalty.
EVERY BID BUDDY COUNTS
Every time your BidBuddy automatically places a bid (not manual, single bids) you receive 9 seconds on your Time as Highest Bidder progress bar, even if someone places a bid right after you. If any Time as Highest Bidder multipliers are in place, those will also be applied. Please note: Your first bid placed by a BidBuddy is not subject to receive the full 9 seconds and is considered a manual single bid.
BID BUDDY GUARANTEE
In very popular auctions, BidBuddies booked before the auction starts may not be able to place a bid before the No Jumper limit is reached. In these cases, as long as the BidBuddy was booked before the auction started, and as long as the BidBuddy is not canceled, the spot in the auction is guaranteed!
DAILY RETURNING BIDDER REWARDS
Keep the bidding streak going! By placing bids on consecutive days you increase the cap of your Daily Returning Bidder Reward. The maximum number of daily returned bids is 30 and depends on the number of bids you placed yesterday.
