need help with ibidusa

[sln88]

Hi
I wanted to register to bid, but it says I need a referral. I have no idea what this means. Can anyone that has used this site help?

I registered with ibidusa over a year ago. I think you just need to put down a members name. Use mine, Kevenswife2, and see if that works. I use the same name on there as here...it's too hard to remember too many names and passwords.

that worked

maybe you will get something from them for referring me!

I doubt it, but that would be nice.

I like ibidusa. I've gotten quite a few vouchers from them and saved a sum of money. My latest are a swamp buggy ride for 2 at Florida Eco Safaris for $7.00 and a one hour horseback ride for $5.50. Last year I got two adult admissions to Arabian Nights for $24.50 (total). Locally, I've gotten hotel stays for only $45 for two nights.

Don't forget to log on every day so you can add to your 'bid bucks'. It really helps out. If you add $5 to the amounts I posted above, that will give you my winning bid amount.

Most certificates say you can only redeem one per establishment per 3 or 6 months. I goofed when I bid and won the two for Florida Eco Safaris. I never thought I'd win both. Well I Faxed them and told them what happened and they are going to let me use them both on the same day! I thought that was very nice as it was my mistake.

Only problem I've had with ibid are when you use your certificate at some places, they act as though they don't have a clue as to what it is. But I've never had one turned down. There's always someone there who knows what they are.

Have fun and good luck bidding!

would be nice to feed 5 of us for my 10.50- $5 bidbucks bid! Nobody else bid- okay?? ; )

any experience there

Do they mail the certs or do you print them yourself?

You'll love the swamp buggy safari. Our driver was excellent and the young girls working there are so friendly. However the manager was one of the unfriendliest and dour people I have ever met. He made me feel so cheap for using the vouchers.

sln88, they mail you the certificates. It usually takes a week to get them.

wendym, I've never had that problem with the ibid certificates, but have felt that way when checking into a hotel which I've won through Priceline. Oh well, I'm really laughing inside because I saved money!! I love the thought that I paid $25+tax for the same room everyone else is paying $99+tax for! As for the Florida Eco Safaris manager, I'll just have to deal with him when I get there.

DH and DD6 are doing the swamp buggy ride while I go horseback riding. Do they go on the same trails? We all would have gone horseback riding but you must be 8 years old to go. I didn't want DH and DD sitting around waiting for me, that's why I bid on the buggy ride too. I never thought I'd win both. I'm just glad that dour manager wasn't the one making the decision as to whether I could use both certificates on the same day. I'm sure he would have said NO!

I won the Giordano's and Girabaldi's gift certificates. The food was excellent and we saved alot of money. I love ibidusa.com

I'm not sure if they use the same trails or not - there is a lot of ground there!
Enjoy!
