Swipe Bids Auction Refusal of 30 Guarantee refund

I paid $150 to join Swipe Bids, which is an online auction. All bids are a penny at a time until an item is won. My membership included 60 free bids per day. They have a 30 day money back guarantee if you didn't win at least 1 auction during this time. About 3 weeks in, they pulled a funny little stunt. At the end of my bidding on that day I had 4 bids left. I continued bidding and these 4 bids remained. They give you 4 BIDS which you can never use. If I use my 60 bids per day, these 4 bids remain. I can bid as much as I want and still have these 4 bids. Here is the catch: In order to get the refund, you must use these 4 bids, which is impossible. They have a live chat and one of their customer service reps told me that they would provide the refund as soon as I used the 4 remaining bids. She suggested that I bid on a $10 Walmart Gift Card to use the bids. I'm sure they cold have arranged for me to win that one, then they wouldn't have to refund the $150 because I would have won an auction. Most of their auction is auctioning off more bids. You can also purchase more bids. No need though, you will always have 4 left. Stay away from Swipbids.com, they are a total scam!
