BidandClick Credits

What are they, what are they used for and how to obtain them.

Credits are the currency used to bid only on BidandClick and to receive the “Information service”.
Credits for your bids can be purchased or received free.

Out of the Free Credits only Friend Credits can be received without purchasing Credits.

There are 5 types of Free Credits:
Silver Credits - Gold Credits - Promo Credits - Premium Credits - Friends Credits.

Silver Credits

For every purchase of Credits for more than 25 Pounds you will receive
Silver Credits: it is our way of thanking our members for having chosen BidandClick.
Silver Credits can be added to any Gold Credits and Premium Credits.

Gold Credits

Gold Credits are for Gold Members only, i.e. for members who purchase at least 30 Pounds worth of Credits. These Credits are refunded to Gold Members for their loyalty to BidandClick; Gold credits can be added to any Silver Credits and Premium Credits.

Promo Credits

Special promotions will offer members the opportunity to receive Promo Credits. Promo Credits are available for all new members, i.e. users who have just registered; from time to time they may also be available for existing members. Promo Credits are valid for a period that ranges from 24 hours to a few days and can be added to any Silver Credits.

Premium Credits

You do not lose your credits at BidandClick! All Purchased Credits used to bid for a product that you do not succeed in are converted into Premium Credits when the auction ends. You will get them when you purchase more Credits allowing you to improve and apply your bidding strategy. Premium Credits can be added to any Silver Credits and Gold Credits.

Friend Credits

Every registered user will receive 1,500 Friend Credits for each friend invited to register who purchases Credits at least once. There is no limit to the number of friends each member can invite.

Multiply your bids with the Free Credits!

Credits for your bids can be purchased or received free.
The purchase diagram below shows the Credits you will receive according to the amount of Purchased Credits when the Promo Credits promotion is active:

The calculator above shows how many Free Credits you will receive for the amount of Credits you choose to purchase (remember that the maximum limit is 1,000 Pounds).

Calculate the benefits of Premium Credits

Another example is that of a member who has purchased Credits, received the relevant PoundTwigs and used the Purchased Credits to bid without securing a sale in the auction. The table below shows the advantages of being a Gold Member and the number of Premium Credits. The obvious advantage determined by these factors is that the amount spent to purchase Credits is immediately transformed into Credit thanks to the PoundTwigs and that the overall number of Credits received is definitely high.

The table refers to a GOLD Member who purchases the same number of Credits as the previous time.

		FREE CREDITS

AMOUNT	CREDITS	SILVER CREDITS %	CREDITS GOLD	PREMIUM CREDITS	TOTAL CREDITS	POUND TWIG

£ 18	1.800	+ 0 (0%)	+ 0	+ 1.800	3.600	18

£ 30	3.000	+ 600 (20%)	+ 1.800	+ 3.000	8.400	30

* £ 50	5.000	+ 1.500 (30%)	+ 3.000	+ 5.000	14.500	50

£ 500	50.000	+ 30.000 (60%)	+ 30.000	+ 50.000	160.000	500

£ 1.000	100.000	+ 70.000 (70%)	+ 60.000	+ 100.000	330.000	1.000

What is the average value of each purchase of credits?

Statistically the average purchase of credits made by our members is of 50 Pounds.
On average members carry out more than one transaction. A member who purchases 50 Pounds of Credits:

1) becomes a Gold Member (with all the consequent advantages - Gold Credits);
2) immediately receives PoundTwigs to purchase at a favourable price the products on display in the TwigShop window on BidandClick.
3) receives other Free Credits (Silver and Premium);
4) obtains an excellent cost/purchase ratio.

What Free Credits offer me the opportunity to study the best strategy to buy auction products?

A careful study of the different types of Free Credits (Friend, Premium, Gold, Silver and Promo) will give you the possibility to plan Credit strategies. Considering the different types we suggest a careful and wise use of Premium Credits. These Credits (included in the Available Credits) and the ways in which they can be obtained make it possible for a member who bids for a certain period mainly using Purchased Credits (which become Premium Credits if the member does not succeed in the auction) to accumulate a high number of Available Credits because the Free Credits have not been used to bid.
