In addition, there are certain promotional and payment offers, including any rewards offered for registering, that are designed for a customer to receive the offer only once. If we determine that a user has attempted to obtain the same promotional offer multiple times, (for example, by creating multiple registration ids), we will turn off access to the account and reserve the right to freeze or disable any FanCoins or FanBucks received through the creation of multiple accounts by the same user.

How do I bid in a FanUp auction?
After you register, you can bid with either FanCoins or FanBids on auctions. Different items will allow you to bid with either FanCoins or FanBids. When you make a bid, FanUp will automatically deduct a fee of either 20 FanCoins or 20 FanBucks from your account. FanCoins or FanBids will also be deducted when you make a winning bid in the amount of the final bid.
How do FanBids auctions work?
Each bid costs either 20 FanBucks ($0.20) or 20 FanCoins depending upon the item. FanBucks can be purchased on the FanUp store or you can earn them by completing offers or surveys on our Offer Wall. FanCoins can be earned by completing various community activities. Once you bid, these points are spent and are not recoverable. Once the bid is placed, the auction price will go up by an amount specified by the auction administrator, e.g. $0.10. If you are the last bidder when the clock runs out, you will win the auction. At this point, you have purchased the item for the price listed at the end of the auction. The appropriate amount of FanCoins or FanBucks will be deducted from your account.
Do I get the FanBucks or FanCoins I spent on bids back if I lose the auction?
No, once you’ve placed a bid with your FanUp currency, you have spent that money and will not get it back.
Are the FanBucks or FanCoins I used to bid deducted from the purchase price?
No, the bucks or coins you use to place a bid are a fee charged for bidding and are not deducted from the final purchase price. You must pay the final purchase price in addition to the bidding fees.
How do I get my auction items?
If you are bidding on Avatar accessories, these will be added automatically to your personal Avatar catalog. If you are bidding on third party digital goods, once you win an auction, you will receive a confirmation email with the product you purchased just as if you had purchased that item in the FanUp Store. You can also click on “My Profile” and find all the auctions that you’ve won under the “Auctions” tab.
When does an auction end?
Each auction ends when the timer reaches zero. This varies auction to auction and also depends on how many users are bidding for an item. During the last seconds of an auction, each time a user bids on an item, the timer increases by a fixed amount to allow other users to bid.
Why is time added to the auction timer?
Time is added to the auction timer in the last seconds of an auction each time a user bids to give other users an opportunity to bid on the same item if they are interested.
How does bidding work?
Bidding is simple. Move the mouse over the “Bid ” button and click. You will show up as the highest bidder. Each time you are outbid, you will have to click on the “Bid” button again. Each time you bid, either FanBucks or FanCoins will be deducted from your account depending on the type of item you are bidding on.

Currently FanBucks can be purchased using PayPal, including PayPal's credit card services, or earned by completing advertising offers or surveys on the FanUp offer wall.

Once you provide your contact information or payment details to a third-party advertiser in order to earn FanBucks, FanUps privacy policy will no longer be in force and we will have no control over how the third-party uses your information. FanUp makes every effort to police the offers to ensure that they are appropriate to our audience, but cannot guarantee their quality since they are provided by a third party.
What do I do if I complete an offer but don’t receive my FanBucks?
A separate customer support contact link is supplied by the offer provider. Please check for this link on the Offer Wall where you completed the offer and contact the offer provider directly if you are not awarded your points. If the offer provider does not respond to your complaint in a timely manner, say within 48 hours, please notify FanUp customer support so we can look into the issue for you.
How do I check on the status of my offers?
You can click on “Earn FanBucks” at any time to check the status of your offers supplied by the offer provider. In some cases it takes several hours or even several days for your offer to be confirmed. At that point, you will be awarded your FanBucks. Your current FanBucks status is always available at the top of the FanUp page or on your My Account page.
What are coupon codes and how do I redeem them?
