SmartBid BBB accreditation

Dear SmartBidders!

We just upped our commitment of maintaining a safe and fun bidding environment for all of you. We are now officially accredited by the Better Business Bureau (rating A- with 0 complaints).

Here are some of the steps we are taking:

Safe & Secure: In addition to BBB accreditation, SmartBid is now VeriSign trusted and McAfee secured. So bid confidently without the fear of spyware, spam, viruses and snakes!

Fair & Fun: We want to make sure the bidding environment remains fair and fun. As we grow, we are not only adding more auctions, we've also added stricter win limit (15 day limit to bid on the same featured product you have won) and exclusive intermediate iPad auctions for members who have won less than 10 auctions.

We are giving out a limited time coupon "BBB" for 10% bonus to celebrate our BBB accreditation. Go buy some bids and have fun!

President's Day Weekend Blowout Sale!

Dear SmartBidders,

We are celebrating President's day by bringing back our popular "ALL BIDS BACK" auctions this weekend - Win or get all your bids back for a select few auctions on the hottest items including a Royal Caribbean luxury cruise getaway!

Here's a quick rundown of how everything will work during our President's day weekend sale:
  1. All your bids will be returned if you don't win in our All Bids Back auctions - they will be returned as free bids to your account as soon as the auctions close and you are free to use them in our regular auctions right away. They will be clearly shown at the top of the page with an American flag hat icon on top left corner.

  2. Only paid bids are eligible for bidding in our All Bids Back auctions. You will be clearly shown the break up between your free bids (bids collected through coupons, rewards and other promotions) and paid bids in "My Bids Breakdown" panel.

  3. These auctions will fall under win limit unlike the previous bids back special per our members' requests to give everyone a chance to win.
There you've it - with the whole weekend of hottest products sale and completely risk free bidding, win the luxury cruise getaway or any other hot products you always wanted! Have a wonderful President's day weekend!

Good Luck!
