Have you heard of Biddees.com??
Biddees offers an extensive selection of brand new gift cards in various denominations from national retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Gap, Home Depot, iTunes, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Staples, Starbucks, Target and Walmart, as well as VISA and MasterCard prepaid cash cards. Each card is guaranteed to sell for less than face value.
The savings aren’t generally huge — maybe 10% — but 15% of your LBT goes to the listed charity of your choice. Since we all spend money at places like itunes, McDonald’s, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon (don’t we??), why not use your budget allotment here and do a little good as well? That’s right 15% of your bid fee goes to the charity of your choice.
To experience and learn the Biddees process, each new customer is granted several free bid credits known as Little Biddee Things™ (LBTs). When the free LBTs are used up, customers can purchase more for 99 cents each – and 15 percent of each LBT purchased goes to a nonprofit organization selected by the customer. To view the price of any card, which always starts at least $1.50 less than its face value, a customer uses one LBT. Every time a customer views the current price of a card, the price automatically drops by another 50 cents. Upon viewing the price, the customer has the exclusive right to purchase the card at the new lower price, within 30 seconds. If the customer decides not to purchase the card, it becomes available to the next participant. A quick check-out process completes the purchase, and Biddees sends the card to the customer with no sales tax and free shipping.
Find out more about how it works. This walks you through the process clearly.
Sounds great, right?
Yes, it sounds good — get a discounted cash-value gift card? AND help charity? — but I wanted to try it out myself.
I signed up for my free membership, at which time I recieved 3 Little Biddee Things (LBTs). You need to have an LBT to bid or view the value of the gift card.
I used my first LBT to view a $25 Starbucks card. The price was just over $20. I had 30 seconds to decide if I wanted to buy it. I decided not to, but used another LBT to view/bid again. That immediately brought the price down to $20, a 25% savings! I decided to buy it, and was taken to the checkout process where I provided my credit card number and verified my shipping address. Shipping is free. So soon I can enjoy $25 worth of coffee and lattes and scones and cookies at Starbucks — all at a 25% savings (because I paid less to begin with it).
There’s nothing to lose. Join now and try it out using your 3 free LBTs. If you like it, you can buy more at under a dollar each and keep buying gift cards at a reduced value, and giving to charity while you are saving! I think that this would be a fantastic way to buy gifts at a reasonable cost, either using the reduced-price card to shop, or give it away (what teacher doesn’t love a Starbucks or Target card as an end-of-year gift??).
Viewing a gift card does not require you to do anything. It takes one LBT from your account, but you still have the option to decide if you want to buy or not.
As an incentive for trying out Biddees.com, a registered user who leaves a comment here will be eligible to receive a $50 Target gift card!

This is a win win situation~! I save money on gift cards for consumers I would purchase from any how and help donate to charity. I just registered and checked out a staples gift card for $50 that was down to $44.50 but didn’t buy waiting to see if it drops a little more. Call me frugal lol
I just love reading your post. I used to be the person who found out about something new last now my kids tell me I’m Hip cause I know before them. How cool is that.
I asked MySpace what is that? They would laugh and say you know MySpace and I was clueless. Then I started blogging and I said Facebook they said what is that? and I said You know Facebook and laughed. I said Twitter they said what is Twitter? I said you know Twitter and laughed. Now I can say Biddees and they will say what’s that? I’ll say you know Biddees and laugh. lol lol Thanks Janice & Susan for making me hip!

I joined biddies.com, and went ahead and made my first card purchase. I tried the $25 Starbucks card, which was going for $22.50, so I declined. I then tried the $50 Target card, which was going for $45. Since I must spend $100 a week there anyway, I went ahead and bought it. Interesting concept…would be nice if there was ways to earn LBTs besides outright purchase. Thanks!!
