This post is a tutorial on how to play Astro Auction. Astro is based on the popular silent auction model, which has a lot of freebies. So even though you don't win the auction you can really win some prizes. With Astro Auction you place your bid first, and just one time. Simply place the highest bid you can for as many TCredits that you think will win (i.e. be the highest bid).
With the exception of one TCredit required for a processing fee, you can get all your bids back if you don’t win. Yes, when you enter your bid, you’ll choose how many TCredits you want to receive back if you don’t win. In other words, Astro Auctions are essentially risk-free!
There’s much more to win with Astro than just the item being auctioned! For each auction you enter (with as little as a single bid), you’ll be entered to win two different jackpots (“Rocket Box” and “Supernova.”). You also get a free entry in our new “Pick-The-Bid” contest. Your objective is to predict what the winning bid will be. Be the closest and you’ll automatically win 500 Rewardicals! And that’s still not all! For each TCredit you “tip your pilot” (the TCredits you choose not to receive back if you don’t win the auction), you’ll automatically earn at least 10 Rewardicals that you can redeem for VersaPoints, PSAs, CSAs, and more. And if all that wasn’t enough, you’re guaranteed to win at least two additional “Constellation Prizes!”
Whenever you win an Astro Auction, there’s nothing to pay for, no checkout to go through, etc. You already took care of everything when you placed your bid! So when you win, we simply deliver it to you automatically! For digital items like TCredits and CSAs, they’ll be dropped into your account instantly. For physical items, they’ll get queued to ship to you ASAP.
