This is an interesting variation on the penny auction sites that were en vogue about 2-3 years ago, but you're "bidding" with your time rather than your money.

Nevertheless, people quickly realized that penny auctions are a sucker's game -- see http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/kimkomando/201... -- and I don't see why it's any different with VidFall.

But points for originality.

Thanks, yea we were definitely inspired by the penny auction sites. However, we saw them as predatory. The nice thing about VidFall is you can't lose any money. Just a fun way to get discounts on gift cards. Thanks for the feedback.
