So you’ve been a diamond user and enjoyed the status. Bidding and keeping track of your loyalty points and one morning it’s replaced with a lousy Level 2?! What does this mean? Have you been kicked down to not even be a mineral like gold or platinum to just a second level? No, no longer are there jewels; no longer are there little one or two point rewards when you’ve been active it’s all been left up to you. The threshold is there the reward system is clear enough…. buy a bid package and receive 10 points at 100 points you can exchange it to 1 credit. The threshold increases on each level so you’re not swimming in points but in return you get extra benefits for a product you’re purchasing anyway. When you climb to level 5 and most are on level 2 anyway you get extra treats like rush delivery increases and rumours go that if you climb enough you can get your personal account manager so when you have an enquiry you can call direct or email direct to your manager. This would be ideal in the run up to Christmas if it was actually there for our disposal and on a level that’s reachable not like level 90.
Madbid.com seem to be quite good with their innovations looking at their Facebook page I guess customer services could use some polishing up but with the cheap bargains on offer I guess users should be happy that their customer services are better than Facebook’s who have been reported to be the hardest company to get in touch with in the world, try send an email or find a phone number see how long it takes Facebook to reply.
This WOT (Web of Trust) business seems to be putting a damper on madbid.com’s social interactions as any link from Facebook to the site seems to be blocked by a company that’s run in America and have rated the company as scam! By users who are from America! Madbid.com does not operate in the US so what would these guys know and I’ve checked similar websites on the WOT’s website and it seems to be the same spam comments across most of the company’s featured and the only way to remove these spam’s is to become a member at a crazy membership fee. Try get in contact with them I don’t think they even have a landline.
The new referral system is interesting you get a personalised link that you can post on popular videos, blogs and other comment boxes and if you get someone t register through your link and buy a package you will get cash for the referrals. Seems like a bargain deal as to post links is as easy as two clicks.
