TAP Miles&Go miles auctions promoted by TAP AIR PORTUGAL (“TAP”) take place on the “Miles&Go Bid" platform available http://bidmiles-and-go.flytap.com.
TAP makes a number of TAP flights and products and services from TAP Miles&Go partners available to TAP Miles&Go Clients on the “Miles&Go Bid” auctions. These products and services are open to bidding at a guaranteed minimum discount.
By taking part in these auctions, participants accept and agree to be bound by these regulations.
1. Description
1.1 The auctions are made available by TAP to TAP Miles&Go Clients with enough miles to enter a bid.
1.2 Auctions are in no way associated with Facebook or its associates. Facebook does not sponsor, assess or administer the auctions.
1.3 The following are not allowed to take part in the auctions: employees of the TAP Group and/or of agencies involved in creating the project and their immediate families.
1.4 You must be a TAP Miles&Go Client to take part in the auctions.
1.5 It is expressly forbidden to assume the identity of any other person or to act illegally in the name of or on behalf of someone else.
2. Operation
2.1 In order to bid in the auctions, the participant must:
- Be a TAP Miles&Go Client and have the required miles in their account;
- Login to the Auction platform, providing your email or Client (TP) number and password or via social login;
- Click on the “Auction” button in the box corresponding to the desired auction.
2.2 The same TAP Miles&Go Client (TP) number cannot be used by more than one registered participant/user.
2.3 Each user is allowed to bid more than once.
2.4 By bidding in the auction the participant agrees to comply with these regulations.
2.5 Each auction has a maximum bid and a set duration, but may or may not have a defined bid limit. The mode in which each auction will take place will be explicit on the page of each auction, when it is taking place.
2.6 If the maximum bid of miles is not achieved during the auction period, or if the auction has no bid limit, in the last 2 minutes of the auction and for each auction within that time, the timer is reset in 2 minutes of opportunity for latest bids. If no one bids on this extra time, time runs out and the auction ends.
a) In the case of auctions taking place on the same day, the start time of the next auction may be changed if the previous one is still running.
2.7 The auction winner is the person who made the predefined maximum bid (in case there is a maximum bid) or who made the highest bid within the time allowed.
2.8 Bids are made in levels of pre-defined miles. You can only make a bid if you have sufficient miles in your TAP Miles&Go account.
2.9 Each participant may bid on auctions taking place simultaneously and win them, without any constraints on participation in subsequent auctions.
3. Awards
3.1 Whenever an auction ends, the winner will be contacted by TAP using the contact information provided by the client - registration email and/or contacts made available on their TAP Miles&Go account. Different conditions may apply depending on the offer, so the Terms and Conditions of the ongoing auction prevail. Due to the current situation, we alert you to the fact that the delivery times for products and/or vouchers may be a little longer than usual.
3.2 Whenever an auction ends, the number of miles bid will be debited from the winner’s TAP Miles&Go account. No refunds are allowed.
3.3 The product and/or service won in an auction cannot be replaced or exchanged for cash or any other product and/or service. No cash alternatives.
3.4 Auction winners will be publicised on the Miles&Go Bid platform after being contacted by TAP (see 3.1)
