QuiBids Games: Word Scramble
QuiBids debuted a brand new game last week! If you’re a fan of Scrabble, word games, and/or free bids, then it’s for you!
Word Scramble’s the latest addition to QuiBids Games, which are one of the biggest ways we make QuiBids more fun for our customers! By racking up Gameplays, you can go play QuiBids Games for Voucher Bids. You can check the recent winners and top scorers at the Games page to get an idea of what’s possible. Recently customers have won as many as 184 Voucher Bids in a single Gameplay, thanks to a 2X Multiplier! Theoretically, they could win 184 auctions if they spend those bids carefully!
You play Word Scramble on QuiBids much the same way you play Scrabble; by building words out of the tiles you’re dealt. But with Word Scramble you’re competing against the clock. It’s kinda like this, but without the other person to play against:
If a minute goes by and you can’t produce a word, then you get all new tiles! You can check the QuiBids blog out for some Word Scramble strategies, or you can check o

Make a video, win an iPad with QuiBids!
Have you heard about the latest contest going on over at QuiBids?
The bidding site’s best known for auctioning off iPads to its customers, but they’ll be giving one away at the end of their new video contest!
QuiBids partnered with bidding site watchdogs PennyBurners to host the contest, which encourages bidders to create and submit their very own sixty-second-long videos explaining just what they do with their QuiBids wins.
It’s not like past QuiBids video contests where we’ve asked customers to shoot their unboxing, like so:
Instead we want to know what you guys take your great products and do with them! There literally are thousands of winners on QuiBids’ bidding site every day, so the possibilities for what you do with your wins are endless!
We’ve heard loads of stories about what people use QuiBids wins to do before on social media and in customer support calls, and now we want them on video! Here’s how to do it.
First: Tell us what you won.
Example: “Hi, I’m Ed. I won this awesome electric razor on QuiBids!”
Second: Tell us what you did with it.
Example: “I used it to shave my facial hair into this incredible zig-zag pattern [turns head to display an incredibly intricate pattern of facial hair]”
Third: Submit your video at the QuiBids Facebook page! It can’t be any longer than 60 seconds, so get after it, bidders! We’ll pick one winner after we stop accepting submissions August 14, 2012.
What are the best auction sites?
Online auction enthusiasts are kind of like dogs. We promise this is a nice comparison.
There are a certain number of characteristics and traits that make a dog a dog, right? Stuff that all dogs have in common, like a snout or the ability to be trained to follow specific commands. Well, people who frequent auction sites also share a defining characteristic: That they’re looking for big-time savings on great products.
And while that runs in common through all auction site bidders, there are also a bunch of different breeds of auction enthusiasts, again, much like dogs. Some are in it for the gaming aspect, some like to develop and refine a strategy for auctions, and still others are in it just because they see it as a lucrative opportunity to save more on their shopping.
QuiBids is the best auction site on the web because it combines everything auction enthusiasts love into one easy-to-navigate website! Here are a couple of easy ways to get yourself started.
1. Watch our introductory video!
For the visually-inclined, we’ve put together this snappy intro video!
