BigDeal, a newer penny auction website, has recently re-designed their website to better cater to visitors and customers. BigDeal offers a few attractive features, like their "Loyalty Bucks" program, the "BigDeal Guarantee", and $0.75 bids.
If you're unfamiliar with penny auctions, you're missing out on a great way to get tremendous savings on brand new items. Penny auctions work like this- you register on the site and purchase bids, bid on the item you want to win, and if you're the last bidder you win the item. Sounds simple right? Well it can be a lot more difficult than it sounds. Each time someone bids, time is added to the auction duration. In an industry where bidding against hundreds of other people is not uncommon, you're likely walk away empty handed.
This is where BigDeal's Loyalty Bucks Program comes in. For every dollar spent on bids, BigDeal adds a dollar to the bidders Loyalty Bucks account. This is a great feature that gives you more value for your money. Users can use their Loyalty Bucks to buy products at discounted prices. Standing among a wide array of competition, this rewards program definitely helps BigDeal stand out.
Another benefit of BigDeal is their wider selection of prizes targeted at women bidders. You'll find Jewelry, small home appliances, and even fashion accessories in their prize lineup. The three prize categories offered at BigDeal are Tech, Style, and At Home. Their electronics prize selection is not too impressive when compared to similar sites; however we do like the diversity in their selection.
As far as credibility goes, BigDeal is one of the few penny auctions sites we can say we trust. They hold an A- accreditation from the Better Business Bureau, not something many other PA sites can say. While their credibility definitely makes them worth checking out, if you're looking for the best prize selection, this site is probably not for you. We recommend reading other reviews of top penny auction sites to find which one is best for you before spending any money. All in all, we like the changes BigDeal has made to their user interface, and we're looking forward to further developments with the site.
