Welcome to the 2024 Holiday Gift Card Auction!

Thursday, November 28 at noon to Tuesday, December 3 at 8:15 p.m

Please READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, particularly the part about credit card authorizations. In short, each time you place a bid, the system places a hold authorization for that amount on your card. When you are outbid, the hold is released. If you bid $50 on ten different items, this means $500 of your available balance will be unavailable until you're outbid. Any winning bids at the end of the auction are captured - meaning your card is charged. Buy Now items will be charged to your credit card at the time of purchase. We recommend you use a credit card, not a debit card for this auction. A released hold may take several days to reflect on your statement.
