GBDisappointed but determined! Won a trip through Charitybuzz with 2 round trip JetBlue travel certificates to Aruba! Only problem is there are not a lot of seats set aside for travel certificates! So you may find a flight out but no flight coming back on none at all for the dates you want to travel. I finally found a flight going to and coming back and requested to change my dates a week before only to be told the new dates were not available! Thank God I did not book my flights wiht the certificate or I would have lost out!!! Now I have to purchase my flights and I have until November to find somewhere to go so I can use my certificates that I wanted to use with THIS TRIP! UGH!!! Total inconvenience!!!! I just hope to have a beautiful time on my trip so I can leave a review of the hotel and my stay!!!! This may possibly be my first and last auction!!! Glad it went to a good cause though!

GBJust lunch, but a great experience we'll never forget I was the lucky winner of an auction for lunch in Los Angeles with an actor that included a cast member jacket from his show. Winning bid was in 2019 or beginning of 2020, so just before Covid hit. Not only did Charitybuzz stay in contact the entire time, they facilitated everything perfectly. The actor was beyond gracious and fulfilled the lunch despite the offer being 2 to 3 years earlier. My wife and I enjoyed the afternoon with 2 hours for lunch and chatting with him. It was absolutely awesome, and actually well exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a great time and one that benefitted IAMA Theater in Los Angeles!

GBGreat fun but read all the guidelines and rules I would tell people to make sure and read the conditions of sale before bidding. There is nothing unusual, but for a first-time buyer, I didn't know about the buyer's premium which could put your budget out of range. Overall Charitybuzz does a great job with keeping you informed of your bid and that monies do go to a good cause.

GBAppreciative Georgian I am a frequent user of Charitybuzz. I figure that Uncle Sam is going to take my money, so it is best to get to do unique things or to get unusual items, especially if it benefits charity; therefore, it becomes a win-win situation. I have found the Charitybuzz staff to be most helpful, especially if donors seem to be dragging their heels on redemptions. Keep up the great work!

GBA Stellar Cause: William Shatner auction The chance to get William Shatner to follow me on Instagram caught my eye! I put an initial bid in and CharityBuzz reminded me of when the auction was to close. I won and helped the Robert Kennedy Human Rights Foundation. Win-win. The follow up was immediate - assisted by lovely people from CharityBuzz and RFK. Mr. Shatner follows 40 people… including me!
