that the "buy now" price is reduced by 10 cents on each bid. A "Credit" is the only currentcy on PennyGrab.com that will reduce the

Bonus Credits:
Bonus credits can be used to bid on auctions and are usually obtained through winning auctions that contain bonus credits or you may win a prize that contains bonus credits. Bonus credits do not reduce an auctions "Buy Now" price and do not expire.

Promo Credits can be used to bid on auctions and are usually obtained through winning auctions that contain "Promo" credits, email promotions or you may win a prize that contains promo credits. Promo credits do not reduce an auctions "Buy Now" price, however, they do EXPIRE. Promo credits completely expire each morning at (approx.) 3am PST.

2. Check out the Daily Deals
Take the time to learn more about the deal you want to win. Check out previously ended Deals for the same product or category. Study the way our Daily Deals work and observe how and when other Members bid. Regardless if the item(s) you want are iPad's, Xbox 360 or even just Gift Cards, you should find a strategy that works for you!
3. Place Your Credits
When you place your credit against another member(s), there is a greater chance of winning. When 2 or more members place credits against each other, this effectively raises the Deal Price increasing your chances to win a Daily Deal at a great price!

1. Group Grab Auctions
How this works: From to 4-12 people can participate in any 1 Group Grab Auction (GG). Users can only place 1 to 3 credits at a time before another user can place a credit. The person that places a credit at the Deal Price WINS! Group Grab auctions are limited to 10 per day.
2. Fire Grab Progressive Auctions
Fire Grab Progressive Penny Auctions start at $10.00, $25.00 or Bonus Credits, each bid placed on an item increases the price of that item by .01 cent and you can bid consecutively up to 5 times. The current bid placed by the Bidder is displayed. However, up until the price reaches the $1.00 threshold, the Bidders Names are blind, so instead of seeing another users name (or them, yours), all that will be displayed are asteriks (****). If the timer reaches SOLD before another bid is placed, the last person to have placed a Bid will have won that item.
Fire Grab Progressive auctions run on a countdown sequence. The countdown timer is displayed below each auction item. Once the timer counts down and has less than 30 seconds left on the timer if another bid is placed the auction timer add a random number of seconds. Each time a bid is placed, the timer resets 10 seconds and begins counting down towards zero. As the countdown sequence progresses to zero it will display 3,2,1 Sold. Fire Grab win limits are 2 per day, 10 per week and 40 per month on $10.00 Walmart gift card Auctions. one (1) per day on bonus credit auctions and 1 per day, 10 per week, 10 per month on $25.00 Amazon gift card auctions.
Note: You can swap them out for any other card we offer! (so long as it is in equal amounts. E.g.; Gift Cards can be exchanged for any other Gift Card)
What makes our Progressive Fire Grab's progressive? Hidden the in the structure of each PFG (Progressive Fire Grab) is an algorithm that will automatically increase the prize value of the item being Bid on. So for example, what began as an Auction for a $10.00 Gift Card will change to a $15.00 Gift Card once a threshold has been crossed (for example, once that auction passes $.30 cents, the Auction is no longer for the $10.00 Gift Card, but increases to a $15.00 Gift Card and will continue to increase in value as the auction progresses).
3. Free to Bid Auctions
Free to Bid Auctions makes everyone a winner. Place your credits for FREE. Match EXACTLY the listed auction price to win that Prize. These prizes may include: credit packs, gift cards. You can place up to multiple credits in a row as fast possible to win. All prizes are guaranteed to be discounted up to 60% OFF.
Note: To participate, you must have purchased a bid pack within the last week or a 1 time large bid pack purchase (500 or 1000 credits). Free to Bid Auction Prize Wins are not exchangeable.

Blitz Tokens
A Blitz Token is a special currency that allows the owner to purchase an auction item at the "Buy Now" price prior to the end of an
auction if they are 10 percent off or more. In addition, if a Blitz Token owner wins an auction using the Blitz feature and that auction is either a gift card or
precious metal item (eg. a commemorative coin), and the Buy Now price is at least 10% off the product price then the "Buy Now" for that
auction is automatically awarded and placed in the winners account page where it can be purchased or traded in the Marketplace.
Bltiz Token Buy Nows (Bltiz BINS) that are automatically placed in your account and can be returned by clicking on the
"Return For Blitz Token" button next to the Blitz Buy Now that you feel that you don't want to purchase or trade.
You can obtain Blitz Tokens several ways: 1) when you purchase a 1000 bids credit pack you get 10 Blitz tokens and 3 Blitz tokens for a 500 bid credit pack. 2) Win a Blitz Token auction.
3) You can trade for Blitz Tokens in the Marketplace.
Our Blitz Grab Tokens have NO Final Value Fee's, so you'll never pay for the ending sale price of the Fire Grab Penny Auction for a Token if you win a Token via that method, which also will help ensure you can maximize your savings when you use your Token on a Buy Now.
To find out how many Blitz Tokens that you have go to your My Account > Account Details page: Available Blitz Tokens: #
Where else can you Win Great Prizes as well as Additional Prizes while Bidding. This is a redundant question: and the answer is obvious - Here at PennyGrab, of course.
1. Mystery Prizes:
Any time throughout the auction (from the start to conclusion) you may win a Mystery Prize. Numerous Mystery Prizes are hidden throughout each auction. Simply place a credit during any mystery auction and you may randomly win. These prizes may include: gift cards, credits, and more! You may even win something BIG. Mystery Prize Wins are not exchangeable.
2. Bonus Prizes:
Place a credit EXACTLY at the listed auction price to win that Bonus Prize. Click on the item to see the list and auction price for that particular item. These prizes may include: credit packs, gift cards, credits, and more. Bonus Prize Wins are not exchangeable.
This is yet another innovation on PennyGrab. Buy Now is only available after the auction has ended or during the auction if you have a "Blit Token" before being reset to the retail value. However, only 1 item per auction is available at that price for all members, so if you see a deal you want on Buy Now, grab it fast! Once an auctions Buy Now has been purchased the "Buy Now" for that auction will end and
no further buy nows will be allowed on that auction. Only the top 3 bidders (using credit bids) on an auction will qualify to enter
the Buy Now page.
The account "Buy Now" page shows all of your "Buy Now" purchases along with tracking numbers (if the item has been shipped).
Log into your account, go to "My Account" and click on "My Credits" to your right. Here you will see all the Deals that you are placing a credits on. It will give you the total amount of Purchases you have made to date as well as how much you have spent on a single deal.
To see who is placing a credit in a Deal, simply look under 'credit history' on the bottom right hand side of the product page. This is a list of the most recent bidders on that deal and the time they placed there credit.
When you place a credit, the credit will then be added to the "Bid Pool" in the order in which it was received by our server. What we need to focus on however, is not who the current highest bidder is, but more so, in trying to bid at the hidden Deal Price. The Winner of any Mystery Prize, Bonus Prize, Penny Auction or Daily Deal will know immediately! This of course doesn't work with PFG (Progressive Fire Grab) where the person with the final Bid placed when the timer reaches zero (00m:00s) wins!
Internet lag can sometimes cause a delay with your bid reaching the PennyGrab servers before the auction closes. The most common causes are high traffic somewhere between your PC and our servers and also that your wireless connection can cause a slight delay as compared to a hard wired connection.
