An Amazing Company

I have won multiple prizes now with Lifestyle Bids and I have to say that they always deliver exactly what they promise, in a quick and efficient fashion. I can’t complain about any of the prizes I’ve won previously because they have been above and beyond what I was expecting them to be for the price I paid.

The only feedback I have for Lifestyle Bids is that when the site first started their big quote was “don’t dream it, bid it” and “Why just dream of how the 1% live, when you can bid your affordable lowest unique bid to enjoy the same experience.” which fit really well at the beginning when the prizes included VIP passes, 5 star hotels and private jets but now the prizes are standard tickets, mid range electronics and low value vouchers, I don’t really think you should be continuing to use them bold statements as they are simply no longer true. It just feels like they’ve lost the one thing that made them unique to the other lowest unique bidding sites.

Apart from that, I think Lifestyle Bids is an amazing website and anyone with a bit of spare cash should give it a go!

I’ve won on lifestyle bids twice now

I’ve won on lifestyle bids twice now. First I won 2 tickets to a sold out festival in London with a 2 night stay in the 5 * hotel which was amazing I couldn’t believe it

I also won another festival which was unfortunately cancelled after I won it, the service was superb and I was compensated with £550 as the company couldn’t provide me with the prize. I think this site is amazing and would recommend to anyone

Like something from a movie

Before I actually got to Venice I was sceptical about the whole thing but as soon as we arrived at our hotel it was absolutely amazing. Like something out of a movie! We would never have stayed there if not for winning it on lifestyle bids. They truely lived up to what we had imagined and then some. We had an amazing time thanks to them.

Mayweather Signed Glove - Knockout Auction Win!

Another great auction that I was lucky enough to win. A signed and authenticated Mayweather boxing glove. Bidding was fierce on this but pleased I ended up winning! Great communication and service from the team at Lifestyle Bids as always - thoroughly recommended!

Samsung Note 9 for 46p....

Samsung Note 9 for 46p....
what's not to love!

When I first heard about lifestylebids two things came to mind. 1 - scam. 2 - I would never win anyway. So you can imagine my surprise when after entering the auction whilst at ABN's Gospelfest for only £ 2.99 and placing a few FREE bids, I was announced the winner of a brand new, boxed and sealed Samsung Note 9 worth over £900!

The hospitality from Reggie and his team was second to none. They really brought the luxury to life!

I would not hesitate to recommend Lifestylebids...well maybe just a little so I have more chance of winning ;)

£2.65 for VIP 50 Cent tickets and Executive 5 Star hotel!

I can highly recommend Lifestyle bids, when I came across the site some of the prices and prizes looked at little too good to be true, but it's not!
After winning the team at Lifestyle were super helpful and everything very well organised from the chaffurered car, to the hotel resveration and concert tickets.
If you see something you fancy it is really worth a go; we had a great overnight stay for the price of a coffee!

This One Is For Wifey, Barry Manilow At The O2 VIP Experience.

When this auction came live, I immediately thought it would be a great way for the wife to forget all her troubles, even if it was just for 24 hours. Why?
A little background before I go into the experience and why I made this my mission at the time, to win this package for her.
Last July, her mum suddenly became ill, so much so that she was in hospital for 5 months. During those 5 months, Wifey’s dad visited his wife EVERY DAY and spent on average at least 8 hours with her. Imagine that, 8 hours, every day sitting next to his wife. That alone is amazing. Unfortunately though over those 5 months it became increasingly more so that she would be bed bound for the rest of her life. So, preparations were made at the family home for her mum and days before Christmas she finally managed to get discharged from the hospital although care workers were assigned to her at home. All good, the family back together.
Just 3 days later and after spending hours, days, weeks and months at the hospital keeping his wife company, he collapsed. He died very soon after on Christmas Eve 2017. This hit wifey extremely badly, she loved her parents, but her dad was her rock her everything. To this day, life is a struggle for her, it’s like she’s given up on life after losing her dad and so months on from that fateful night I thought, it would be nice if I could do something just to help her forget all her troubles even if it was just for 24hrs. An so, like I said, it was my mission to win this for wifey.
So, like normal, I enter the bidding room early to maximise my free bids. You get 10 free bids everyday the auction is open. The auction normally runs for about 5 weeks and so entering the room earlier means I pick up a ton of free bids. I truly believe this is the best strategy, or it was until you read this! Now my secret is out, I’m sure I’m going to find it harder to win again now...... All this, is of course available in my first review and how I won, so I won’t bore you any longer and jump straight into the experience.
On the day (8th September 2018) we check the train times and find actually it’s pretty simple from Leatherhead Surrey. A train straight into London Victoria and then straight on the underground and 9 stops later, we get off with our two night bags and the hotel is practically looking at you. It’s massive entrance looks daunting. We are greeted by the very smartly dressed porters who ask if we are checking in. We are then lead into the main reception and Wow. I’ve stayed in a few hotels in Las Vegas in the past, but this was something else. The Four Seasons Hotel at Ten Trinity Sq Tower Hill. We go through the check in procedure, she informs us, we have been upgraded (Happy Days) and the nice lady walks us to our room. Once we open the door it’s Wow again. I’ve never seen a bed so big. We even have our own iPad in the room! We quickly check the bathroom and our Jaws just hit the floor. It’s again, massive. A walk in shower that could easily fit four people in...... A bath that unfortunately we didn’t get the time to try but it looked amazing. The whole room was well, how the other half live basically.
Not having much time left, we both got ready and make ourselves down to the main entrance and pulling up is our chauffeur black Mercedes. Before we know it, we are at the O2.
I decide to pick up the VIP tickets first before we eat and after a little confusion we end up back to our original window who had the tickets all along. The place was packed. It’s like a mini city inside the O2. Loads of places to eat and drink. Wifey had already chosen our place to dine and I was surprised to see it not that busy. Her choice? A Chinese all you can eat buffet....... I’ve never been a big eater and to look at wifey you’d think she couldn’t either, but looks can be deceiving! So watered and fed we make our way to the Amex Lounge Bar along with all the other VIPs. Hmmmmmm I didn’t get it. It was just a bar that sold expensive drinks at £7 a pint, so we decided that wasn’t going to happen and made our way through the VIP passage (I guess that counts as different) and then we meet Jo Public through a door. Despite arriving quite early, most of the Merchandise for Barry Manilow had sold out. That was until I see the green glow sticks. I open my wallet expecting something in the region of £5/£20 each to be told actually they are free. In that case I’ll have two I say. We ask a kind gentleman if he’d take a photo of me and wifey holding our Programme and VIP tickets. That taken care of, we head towards our seats. We are on the upper level in block 111. Those that don’t know that, you are sitting high enough to see the stage at about 2pm if 12pm is in front of you, so a bit to your right. It’s not the best start when a larger than normal, older gentleman proceeds to keep stood up whilst a warm up group and comedian are on stage, but we have our green glow sticks and take joy in waving those around to amuse ourselves... Finally, he sits down but then the whole block stands up literally 2 seconds later when the place goes dark and you know Bazza is on route.
An then......... He’s there. On stage. The place just erupts and I’ve got to say, the view of all these green glow sticks being waved by hundreds and hundreds of people is quite a scene. I had the hairs stand up on the back of neck just from hearing this music and lighting combined with clapping and cheering and glow sticks all for this one guy who’s 75. I didn’t really like him before, but the energy he had and voice was incredible. During the performance I shed a tear or two, but not for Barry, no, but for wifey. I looked at her dancing and singing and I thought, yes, that’s my girl. Gone for the moment was the pain and suffering of losing her dad and was replaced with a smile that I hadn’t seen for a while. She loved it. To be totally honest, I did to. He’s a moody sod yes, but talented, absolutely he was. He plays for an hr and 40 minutes non stop, but like always, it was over way to soon.
We leave with what seemed all of London and we then thought about the VIP Lounge and we head for that and find it’s still open. We decide to let the droves of people leave and I succumb to the £7 a pint. Wifey has a glass of red wine and that was £15, ouch! But that’s nothing compared to the prices in the hotel. £2 for a Mars Bar, £30 for a 150ml of Red wine. Anyway, were was I? Oh yes, the VIP Lounge. We quickly drink up and make ourselves to the Taxi Rank were our Chauffeur should be waiting for us at 11pm. I get a text to say he’s here, I look round and no he’s not. Unfortunately it takes him 25 minutes to finally find us who tells us he can’t get into the taxi rank. If that’s the case, why was I told to meet there..... We were planning on going to a bar near the hotel before the Chauffeur problem, but it was closing by the time we got back. Never mind, it’s not like it’s Lifestyle Bids Fault anyway.
We think about having something to eat at the hotel. But when they charge almost £30 on the Doggie menu for a chicken breast (organic though) we decided to pass. Next could only ever be described as in heaven, the bed. I’ve never ever slept in a more comfortable bed in all my 50 yrs of being on this Earth. It was so big me and wifey had to shout to each other just to communicate. I could lie sideways and still not reach her, not that I should be telling you this mind. It sort of wrapped round you and the same with the pillows and they were all so soft. I slept like a log. In fact wifey had a problem waking me up, such was the comfort.
I showered in this amazing walk in shower and then we started to get ready to check out. We decided paying £35 each for a breakfast was to much and so when we checked out, we just headed around the corner and had a full breakfast for a fraction of that cost. An hour and half later and we were back home.
I know I’ve gone on a bit, but I wanted to share in as much detail as possible just what Lifestyle Bids had put together. I would of never been able to afford a £500 a night hotel room or be Chauffeur driven, let alone afford VIP tickets to a O2 concert. It might not be as glamorous as a week in Barbados that Lifestyle Bids offered in a previous auction or private jet to watch AJ box in Wales. But every prize offered is way way more than I could ever afford and I knew the Barry Manilow experience would certainly put a smile on Wifey’s face because that’s what Lifestyle Bids do and I can only keep trying to win more experiences like the two I’ve had the pleasure of winning now. But this wasn’t about me, this was for wifey this time. RIP Peter xxx

I can not recommend this enough

I can not recommend this enough, When I won my first auction I couldn’t believe my luck! And thought this was a scam or too good to be true. Then I won my second and it was one of the best experiences I have ever had! I’ve won several times now thanks to this site and to Reginald Larry-Cole for the concept and amazing opportunity. And thanks to his team! Just won a mini competition too which was for social media platforms, which I won a £50 John Lewis Voucher.

The several I have won to name a few have been Anthony Joshua & Parker Fight which was 5* VIP, included hotel.. private jet & Chauffeur!

Coachella... and teeth whitening.

I would recommend looking at what your interested in and bid! You won’t look back 🙌🏽

Thank you very much,
Nicky.

Dear Nicky,

Wow you are the type of client we set this business for; offering the 1% lifestyle experiences to the 99% hard working populace worldwide.

We are excited that you have got to enjoy so many memorable experiences this year as you recapped above. Flying on a Private Jet for a 5 Star weekend stay at Hilton in Cardiff. Sitting ring side, even Paul Gascoigne one of your heroes was sat behind you and you got to meet him and took a photo with him.

Then you and your lady Amber got to fulfill one of her 'bucket list' items as she phrases it at the biggest festival in the world in Palm Springs California. Staying at the luxurious JW Marriot Palm Springs https://www.marriott.co.uk/hotels/travel/ctdca-jw-marriott-desert-springs-resort-and-spa/ VIP tickets front row and you witnessed The Weeknd, Beyonce, Eminem, Dr Dre and 50 Cent among others and recently lifestylebids set up a teeth whitening package which you also won.

We at lifestylebids are grateful that you are one of the most prolific bidders but also you refer a lot of your peers so they too get to enjoy this fabulous lifestyle on the one hand, on the other hand you also benefit from the refer a friend reward of 50 FREE bids. That's clever. Nicky keep bidding, keep winning, it goes to prove that anyone who tries and follows a simple strategy of placing the LOWEST UNIQUE BID at the close of the auction is clearly the one singing that old ABBA favourite - Winner takes it all! So true at lifestylebids.

I have taken the liberty to place here the recent testimonial video you did for us, it was a fun day at the studio and was great to see you again.

Enjoy the video https://youtu.be/LVEAx0U_Gd0

We have today mailed your John Lewis Voucher it should be with you soon.

Keep bidding winner.

NOTE to public: If you are keen to find out how much Nicky paid for these experiences here they are on this link. https://lifestylebids.com/completed-auctions?page=4

Something to hide lifestyle ?????

So since leaving my last review I was contacted reggie Cole, the CEO of Lifestyle bids to express his disappointment of my poor review and said he wished I leave a review about the bad experience for the travel company. It’s taken 2 months to finally book the trip and I’m now having to wait until 4 weeks before we fly in March 2019 for hotel and flight details, surely if it’s booked then I could be given the hotel name?!?!?! Wanting to know so we could plan the days were there, are we in the centre of Rome or on the outskirts of Rome?? Anyway all that’s done and I’ve just got to wait now. My real problem and frustration is with the trip I bid on was at 1st advertised as a EUROPEAN BREAK FOR TWO for two nights worth £2000 and clearly this trip is worth no where near this as I’ve found out after winning and booking. Even Reg Cole said himself the trip is not worth £2000, the £2000 is what he donated to a charity for the trip............so I was misled when bidding. I’ve asked for my money back and he’s refused this. I left negative comments and since been blocked from commenting on Facebook and Instagram............very professional from them, have they something to hide???? Ive won a tv with them and had no problems with this but this trip is a different matter.BEWARE and get all details before bidding. I’ve since noticed on some of their ads they have put flying from London, which would of helped me when bidding if I knew if was London flights, only said flights included on my trip!!!!!!

*********my issue is not with the travel company, it is with the description of your ad when I bid. I bit on the basis it was a European break for 2 worth £2000, NO WHERE IN THE AD DID IT STATE THE TRIP WAS NOT WORTH THIS AND IT WHAT YOU DONATED FOR THE TRIP. I’ve screenshots of all conversations I’ve had and of the description of the trip before you changed it to take out the £2000 bit, and of the conversation where I asked Reg Cole for my money back for what I’d spent in total for winning the trip or a cash alternative........he ignored my request for money back and refused a cash alternative. The FACT is your ad was Misleading when I bid on it. So if I go and pay £10 for a 80p mars bar, does this make the mars bar worth £10??? NO ITS STILL A 80p mars bar!!!!!!!

Dear Mr Walton,

Thank you very much for your review and for being a customer of Lifestylebids.com. Feedback is very important to us and we do not take a bad one lightly or a good one for granted. It is with this in mind that we are taking every care to respond to you in this public domain.

As a first time winner of a lifestylebids auction, you bought a brand new 55’’ SAMSUNG SMART 4K ULTRA HD TV for which you placed the lowest unique bid of £4.24! An amazing bargain as you recall. This TV was delivered to you without delay or any extra charges of any kind levied on you. The reason for this is you bought the auction lot as was described in the auction room.

Bearing this in mind that we supply product or services as described in the auction rooms. Please I would like to draw your attention to the description of the auction that you placed your lowest unique bid on:

SHORT EUROPEAN BREAK FOR 2


Here’s an amazing getaway for 2 people!
Whisk your loved one or a friend to explore one amazing European destination. You can choose from Barcelona, Palma, Dublin, Paris, Nice Rome and Amsterdam!

What’s on offer?
• 2-night break in a European City for 2 people
• Choose from Barcelona, Palma, Dublin, Paris, Nice, Rome and Amsterdam
• Flights included
• Hotel included



*Flights from UK
*Exclusions apply to include but not limited to: Easter, Christmas, School Holidays etc.
*Bookable by Flexidirect
*No refund will be given for any part of the voucher unused and no cash alternative is available
*Valid until 01 May 2019

As you can see for yourself above the description is nowhere misleading or suggesting that this particular trip was VIP or 5 star, the trip you bought is the trip the third party provided and sold to lifestylebids via a charitable auction to help the aged in a hospice. The value as you refer of £2,000 is what lifestylebids paid to the auction organisers who are raising money to help the aged.

We stopped publishing prices as a focus group feedback said, having the prices were putting people off bidding as some would think we are looking for close to the figure published instead of the LOWEST UNIQUE BID. This is the reason why we do not publish prices any longer as anything on Lifestylebids website can be bought from 1p; as long as it is the lowest unique bid, as you yourself will testify.

Mr Walton we are sorry you experienced inconvenience in establishing communications with the travel agents as you were unable to answer your phone during work hours while they were also at work, of course this is totally out of our control at lifestylebids.com. However the positive seed we have gleaned from your well considered feedback is we now absolve ourselves from third party supply, as this is where the disconnect has occurred on this occasion and for that we apologise to you, but rest assured your feedback has been taken to the highest level.

Money back - we do not recall any request to get your money back being refused, your winning bid for this is £7.96p. What we have refused is the request for a cash alternative. This is not an after thought as you can see from the auction room description above.

Mr Walton we know how you feel about this particular product and we have done our best to demonstrate to you that this was outside of our control and secondly that we have acted on your feedback and decided we will not be compromised by offering a third party controlling product going forward. It's a very important lesson and one we do not take lightly.

Of all these fantastic auction experiences https://lifestylebids.com/completed-auctions?page=2 this is the first one with a complaint and we are sorry you experienced a communication issue with the booking agency.

Thank you once again for your feedback your points are noted.

Regards,

Lifestylebids Management.

I won the trip to Barbados!!

I won the trip to Barbados!!! I entered £4.99 to start bidding, and used my 10 free daily bids for about 7 days I think it was, I remember placing my last 10 bids on the day it was ending, having a look on my lunch break to see that I had won the bid for £10.07! I honestly couldn't believe it, things like this I don't always trust but entering for £4.99 wasn't no harm, and it worked out well for me. I got to bring a long one of my friends, our flights and 5* hotel was all paid for, all we needed was our own spending money, the apartments we stayed in was incredible and I have always wanted to visit Barbados and I got to experience it all for £10.07 through lifestylebids! Cant thank them enough, they was very efficient with sending all the details to me making me feel how everything was secure and not one big lie. Currently bidding on the trip to Venice so my fingers are crossed I win that!!

Awesome Site

I have recently won a fantastic ‘money can’t buy’ experience, for a lowest unique bid of only £0.02.

Very fortunate that someone recommended this site only 10 minutes prior to me winning this fantastic prize!

My advice: Get online and give it a go; it’s great fun bidding and you could win a prize for quite literally next to nothing!!
