I’ve tried out a number of bid sites. From the auction site that everyone knows to one or two of the Penny Auction sites. The penny auctions aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. People say they’re winning ipads for $25.00 but they’re not telling you they put in $75.00 worth of bids, paid shipping on top of that, AND paid the $25 on top of that THEN paid shipping and processing fees. I didn’t want to waste anymore money on those sites.
Then I was told about YouNeverLose.com. My first thought was “Oh brother another penny auction site, no thanks.” But I listened anyway and I’m glad I did.
Instead of buying bids upfront and walking away empty handed like the penny auctions sites, you buy a gift card from YouNeverLose.com and you get reward points for it. The reward points in actuality are free. You then use the reward points to bid on other gift cards you want. The gift cards you can buy upfront can be $25, $50, or $100. Each dollar you spend on your gift card gets you 1 reward point. You use your reward points to bid on gift cards like Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon, VISA, and lots more. You could end up snagging a great gift card for a small fraction of the actual value.
So just so you’re on track let’s say you buy a $50 Old Navy gift card (which they have) as your initial reward card to start. You not only get the gift card mailed to you with free shipping but you also get 50 reward points to bid with. So even if you don’t win a deal with your reward points you still have a $50 Old Navy gift card for your money. So…You Never Lose.
I had the chance to try it out and review the site for you. They gave me 20 reward points free so I could give my honest opinion. Well the first auction I bid on was for a $25 Starbucks gift card. I ended up winning the $25 Starbucks gift card at 12 cents! Now just so I’m telling the whole story here, they do a charge $5 processing fee for each gift card you win. So I still ended up getting a $25 Starbucks gift card for $5.12, no joke. I was pretty impressed with that so I decided to bid on a $25 Amazon gift card to see if I could actually win more than once. I ended up winning the $25 Amazon gift card for 16 cents! With the processing fee I paid $5.16 for a $25 Amazon gift card. I took a screen shot of the winners’ screen. I cropped out my personal info but here’s te winner screen, my username is angiewith3.
Just to clarify, the reward cards you buy to get your reward points have free shipping. The gift cards you win on auction have a $5 processing fee.
Wanna know how many reward points I have left out of the 20 I started out with? I still have 13 reward points left! So I’m pretty impressed with this site so far. The site says the gift ship in 2-4 days but I received both my gift cards I won through the auction via email the next day! Not sure if you know (because I didn’t) if you have a Starbucks e-giftcard you can either print it out and take it to the store to use or transfer the balance onto a starbucks gift card you already have.
