That’s a Bingo!

It’s Monday morning, and that means it is time for a new bingo square. On each square is an activity – or challenge – for you to complete in order to receive your 200 free bids and fill in that bingo square. You have one week to complete a challenge from when it is posted. If you miss a square, don’t fret! New challenges are posted every two weeks so a new opportunity for free bids is just around the corner.

Bookmark this blog post and subscribe to our email newsletter as we will be unveiling a new square on the bingo card below every other Monday. Here’s how it works!

To qualify you must have purchased a Bid Pack in the last 7 days
A new bingo square will be unveiled on this blog post; check back so you don’t miss out!
Send video proof of the completed bingo activity to [email protected]

Don’t worry about keeping track of which squares you fill in; we’ll handle that for you!

And last but not least, there will be a special prize for those dedicated few that manage to fill in every square on their bingo cards. What is this prize, you ask? We are keeping that a secret for now, but its something you will not want to miss!

This week’s challenge…

This week’s challenge is to take a friend out for coffee (or tea!)

All you have to do this week is to treat a friend to a coffee or tea date. Do you have a favorite coffee shop? Is it a unique mom and pop shop that has been arou d for decades? Or is it a shiny new chain coffee shop in a new retail space? Whatever the case may be, you have plenty of options to choose from! In the United States, there are over 70,000 coffee and snack shops – a 3% increase from 2022!

Some people think that the best coffee around is a homemade cup served in their own home. So if you want to invite a friend over for a cup of joe, that is fine for completing this week’s challenge.

Once you have completed this challenge, send us an email (perhaps with a picture and/or a description of what you ordered) to [email protected] so that our Team can reward you with some bids and give you credit for this week’s bingo square.

We hope that you manage to fill out another bingo square this week, and as always, happy bidding!

If you have any other questions about our Bingo Promotion, contact our wonderful Support Team. They they will be happy to help.

A Friend You Can Count On

You might think that bidding on DealDash is an individual activity, and you’d be mostly correct in thinking so. But did you know that there is a friend you can count on? A friend that helps you bid more effectively and even win auctions? Well, there is, and it’s called the BidBuddy!

If you’ve been around DealDash for more than a few auctions then you might already know about BidBuddy. It’s an automatic bidding tool that is available to DealDash bidders for each and every auction. And if you are the type of bidder who loves to multitask and participate in a few auctions at once, you have access to multiple bidbuddies; one for each auction that you are in.

Trying new things can be hard, and if you haven’t used BidBuddy before, perhaps you are wondering if it is difficult or if it requires a lot of brain power. Worry not; it’s very simple to use. Once you have chosen an auction you want to bid in, simply enter the number of bids you would like to add to the auction in the box that says “Number of Bids” and click the “Place Bids” button. It’s that easy!

Once the auction starts, the Bid Buddy will place your bids one at a time until you win or until all your bids allocated to it have been used. If you decide that this particular auction isn’t for you, or if the auction price is going too high, don’t worry, you can cancel your BidBuddy any time you like.

One great feature of the Bid Buddy is that it not only bids for you automatically, but it bids intelligently! It is designed to only bid when the auction clock is about to run out. This way, no bids are wasted. Many successful bidders rely on BidBuddy to help them win auctions and save time and money.

BidBuddy guarantees your place

One perk that comes with using BidBuddy is our BidBuddy Guarantee rule.

The BidBuddy Guarantee is a feature that ensures all BidBuddies booked before the auction starts will be allowed to bid. This feature was introduced to make sure that everyone bidding before the No Jumper Limit could participate in the auction. Now, manual bidding before the No Jumper Limit will not exclude any BidBuddies from participating as long as they have been booked before the auction starts and have not been cancelled.

I hope this information inspires you in the auctions to try something new. Maybe you will even stop manually bidding for a bit to give BidBuddy a try. If you’re interested in reading even more tips and tricks check out the “Tactics & Tips” section on DealDash.

Knowledge Is Power: A Map to Find Free Bids

Being a bidder on DealDash can mean a lot of things. For starters, it probably means you enjoy the thrill of a great bargain. You also probably like shopping from the comfort of your own home, on your own terms. It definitely means that you are ahead of the curve when it comes to shopping trends! But it also indicates something else: you have bids. DealDash operates on the pay-to-participate model, so you need to buy bids before you can bid in an auction. By charging a small fee for bids, DealDash is able to pass on huge savings in the auctions. Buying bids is no big deal. The bid price varies based on the active promotions, but you can often find them on sale for 15 cents per bid, or less!

Bids might be inexpensive, and they definitely help bidders grab fantastic discounts on auction wins ranging from cookware to cars, but there is something that bidders love even more than DealDash bids; free DealDash bids! And if you have spent any time on DealDash at all, you probably know of a few different ways y0u can get free bids on DealDash. For one, there is the Time as Highest Bidder Meter which gives you a free bid bonus each time you fill the meter and advance to the next level. There are also special auction types, like Leaderboard Auctions that give out free bids to the top finishers.

It is a great place to unwind and see DealDash customer interviews, get to know some of the DealDash Team, and participate in weekly challenges to earn free bids! Each Monday a new video is released.

Chat with us to give feedback and get free bids

Customer feedback is a huge tool for us. It tells us what works, and what we should change. How do we solicit customer feedback? For starters, our amazing Support Team is available 24/7 to collect feedback and answer any questions that come up. We also invite auction winners to leave a review of the products they win. These product reviews help us determine what items folks like best. And yes, you get free bids for taking the time to leave us a product review. We have collected thousands upon thousands of product reviews over the years, and most folks know about them. But a much lesser-known way that we collect feedback is through customer calls. A DealDash customer call is a short interview between you the customer and a DealDash employee.

What makes these calls unique is that the DealDash employee works in a team outside of customer support. This gives the DealDash employees who normally don’t chat with customers a chance to get to know our bidders and interview them a bit about the DealDash experience. Book a Customer Call using this link, and once the call is completed, you will earn a special DealDash Customer Call badge and 100 free bids. Book a call soon – we’d love to chat with you and find another reason to give you more free bids.

Prepare Yourself for 4th of July Deals This Weekend!

This weekend is your last chance to prepare for America’s 246th birthday party. That’s right, the 4th of July is right around the corner! For those who need a gentle history lesson, the 4th of July celebrates the day the United States of America declared independence from Great Britain, on July 4th, 1776. We live in a big country, and specific 4th of July traditions might vary from state to state, but Americans all across the country generally celebrate the 4th of July the same; with fireworks, a barbeque with friends and family, and perhaps attending a local parade put on by school students and the fire department.

A newer tradition for some Americans is hunting for 4th of July Deals, and DealDash has you covered in that regard. Keep reading to learn more about typical 4th of July traditions and what DealDash has in store for 4th of July weekend.

Time for fireworks!

Fireworks are a huge part of a typical 4th of July celebration. In fact, Americans love fireworks so much that more than a billion dollars of fireworks are sold in the USA each year!

A beautiful fireworks show fills the sky on the 4th of July. — It just wouldn’t be the 4th of July without a fireworks show.

Depending on where you are celebrating 4th of July, you have a few different options about how to get your firework fix. One choice is to buy your own. Fireworks stands pop up in parking lots all around the country and for just a few dollars you can buy some ground blooms, Piccolo Petes, and sparklers. Just be sure to practice proper safety precautions if you decide to light off fireworks of your own. Another option is to watch a larger fireworks show. A general rule of thumb is, the bigger the city, the bigger the fireworks show! You can look at an online guide to see what’s happening in your area. You can even watch these fireworks shows on T.V.!

If it’s fireworks that you’re after, why not check out DealDash’s 4th of July Weekend sale? As you know, each time you win an auction on DealDash, you are treated to your own personal fireworks show that fills up your screen after the wining bid has been placed and the timer hits zero. DealDash is the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone by getting your favorite 4th of July deals and a fireworks show at the same time!

We want it to be fun and rewarding for our bidders during our 4th of July Weekend event, so we are adding some exciting twists to the auctions during this event, which runs from Saturday, July 2nd, to Sunday, July 3rd. For starters, on Saturday we are offering a 3X multiplier on Time As Highest Bidder progress, which means you will progress from bidder level to bidder level three times as fast! As you increase your level, watch out for milestone rewards, which offer a huge amount of free bids! We also will be offering our Runner Up Discount promotion and the auctions will have a lowered No Jumper limit of just $3, which reduces competition.

Don’t forget about Sunday!

Sunday is shaping up to be a great day for bidders, too! In addition to the 3X Time as Highest Bidder multiplier, all auctions have a 50% off discount for the auction winner. That means if you win a 4th of July deal for a final sales price of $10, you only need to pay $5. And as always, shipping is free. And last but not least, on Sunday you can earn even more free bids by bidding in Leaderboard Auctions; auctions that award free bids for being the highest bidder the longest. With all of these special auction twists and rewards, this weekend sale event has everything you need to help you collect all of the 4th of July Deals you want. And who knows, maybe it will become an important annual summer tradition, too!

We hope to see you in the auctions this weekend, and happy 4th!

It’s A Cool, Cool Summer!

We are approaching mid-June and Midsummer is almost here! That means warmer temperatures, longer days, and a great DealDash summer sale for you!

The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year. Of course, the actual length of the day depends on where you are in the world. For example, if you are celebrating the summer solstice in New York City, you can expect a day that is just over 15 hours long. If you fund yourself farther north, in Stockholm, Sweden for example, you can expect a day that is 18 hours and 30 minutes long. And if you find yourself way up north inside the arctic circle, perhaps in Rovaniemi, Finland, the day is 24 hours long! Imagine that; watching the sun move up and down in the sky and not seeing it set for months on end!

The summer solstice is celebrated differently in different parts of the word. In some places the day marks an occasion of mischief and superstition, while in other places, the summer solstice gives an opportunity to reflect on past violent conflicts and to wish for a peaceful future. And on DealDash, the summer solstice gives bidders the opportunity to enjoy a great summer sale complete with special promotions and discount bids. Sound interesting? Keep reading to learn more!

Different meanings in different places

The summer solstice always marks the longest day of the year, and it normally is on June 21st. However, the day itself takes on different meanings in different places and cultures.

In parts of Scandinavia and Finland, people make beautiful flower crowns to wear. This makes use of the vast amounts of wild flowers that are typically in bloom, and it also celebrates fertility. This customer is practiced by men and women alike of all ages.

Some midsummer customs take on a supernatural element. In parts of Finland, some people believe that placing birch twigs in certain parts of their home could guarantee fertility. Some folks even practiced a superstition to try and see their future spouse! To do this, they would walk outside at night and peer into a well naked!

In Northern Ireland, the summer solstice takes on an entirely different meaning. There, June 21st is called The Day of Private Reflection. It is taken as an opportunity for people to reflect on the violent domestic conflicts that have been a part of Northern Ireland’s history. People think back on the past and collectively imagine a peaceful future together. It is a relatively new holiday, having been celebrated only since 2007, but the message is an important one and here’s hoping that it is an important day of remembrance that is celebrated for centuries to come.

A great time of year to be on DealDash
