Quibids Mothers Day Specials

Coming up tomorrow (Saturday, April 30th), Quibids is putting a spa vacation up for auction.  What a great gift would this be for the special mother in your life? 
The auction is for a two night spa vacation for 2 in New York, New York.  What a great way to show any mother how perfect she is.  This one was sent out in the Quibids newsletter, so be sure there will be a lot of eyes on it, especially local eyes.

Let's not forget that you can still get bid packs and be ready for the auctions you have your eyes on.  Never go into any auction without enough bids.  Also, make sure the auctions that you are going into are ones you are willing to win.  IF you are not willing to go to the end, it will be a sad waste of your valuable bids.

Quibids.com Strategy For Accumulating Free Bids

Everyone likes to get things for FREE and on Quibids.com, that isn't any different. Users can get free bids a couple of ways and I am going to post them for you to try out.

You are NOT going to find free bids online anywhere. If you see anyone mention that you can, or see a video that claims to show you how, walk away, there is no way of doing it other than becoming a member and "earning" the free bids.

The fastest way is to use any PROMO code that you might have in your email. When you are a member of Quibids.com, they occasionally send out a newsletter with promo codes and other goodies. Typically you are going to be buying a bid pack in order to use the codes, but it is well worth it to get those extra bids.

Quibids.com Achievements
Another way that you can earn free, or voucher, bids, is by getting achievements. These are little badges that get added to your account and some of them give you free bids for claiming them. Each time you get a notification, make sure you claim your badge, because it could mean free bids for you.

You can also get voucher bids if you refer your friends. This is quite easy, especially if you can explain to them how you won something cool and paid like 75% less for it. You get 25 voucher bids once any person you refer buys their first bid pack. Sign up for free and then check out the "MyQuibids" tab. From there go to "refer friends" on the left side. In that section you will have your very own referral link, with which you can share any way that you want. The easiest is to use the email form right on that page.

Have You Reported Any QuiBids.com Scams?

I have seen plenty of reviews on the internet regarding QuiBids.com. Most of the reviewers are pumped to write about what they won for pennies on the dollar. Some of the reviews turn negative and those are the ones I like to read and get a feel for what others experience on the site.

So far, my overall experience has been great! Like I posted earlier, I have won a bunch of items, paid for them and am now waiting for them to arrive so I can photo them and put them up here for you to see. But as I was reading the reviews I noticed that some of the negative reviews were actually based on the fact that the reviewer didn't win the auction. Or they were upset because auctions are won by "lucky" bidders, compared to the highest bidder.
I review some things online, especially when I have been involved with a product or service, but these negative reviewers are way off base. I don't think some of those reasons are good enough to use for a negative review on a product that works well. The overall experience on QuiBids.com is great, of course, that is my opinion.

As far as scams go, I have yet to run into a situation where I thought I was getting scammed. Most of the scams you see when searching Google, are the videos of people revealing how a guy on 1,000 voucher bids for free. Obviously, this guy just spammed his referral link all over the place until he was blue in the face. You can tell because the bids are "free" bids or voucher bids, which expire in time.

Quibids Prizes Won, Paid For & Shipped!

The other day I just went through and processed all of the Quibids auctions that I won over the last week. With processing fees (I know they are a joke) my total came to 7 items for just over $30 real money. The retail value of the 7 items is listed at $256.94!! That is over almost a 90% savings from buying the items at retail price.

I really like the auction site and I have been really researching before dhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeciding what to bid on. I know that is one of the best quibids tips that you can use, in case you come across that while Google'ing.

So, once I had all 7 of my auctions won, I went to pay for them via Paypal (best option in my opinion) and they were all "processed" within the next 24 hours. I even got an email notifying me of all the steps in the process.

The next day came quickly and I had another bunch of emails from Quibids and they were all the shipping confirmations of the items I won! Depending on what you win, you might get a tracking number, but I think if they are shipped via USPS, you just have to wait for your item to arrive. I am guessing it will only take about 3-5 days.

Once I get my items I will be posting them here for all of you to drool over. In the meantime, why don't you see what QuiBids.com is all about!
