The OnePlus invite system used to obtain their smartphones, including their latest OnePlus 2 that was recently announced, is loved by some and hated by others. Whatever consumers may think though, OnePlus seems to think it is an effective way to sell their devices. In the past the company has made some missteps in developing campaigns to give away some invites as a way to increase interest, but they may have learned from those incidences. Their latest contest is called “Invites for a Cause” and will help raise money for the UNICEF Tap Project.
OnePlus is working with eBay through the Giving Works system to auction off 100 invites, fifty each day for two days. All of the proceeds will benefit the UNICEF Tap Project. The UNICEF Tap Project brings clean, safe water to underprivileged children around the globe.
The auctions work like a typical eBay auction where users submit their bids and try to end up on top when time runs out, which is slated to happen on August 8th. The invites are a little bit different from a normal invite though as OnePlus is only giving the winners one week to claim the invite and then one month to make their purchase of a new OnePlus 2 smartphone. The invites will be for the Sandstone Black version with 64GB of storage. OnePlus does indicate bidders need to be certain their shipping address is in a country where OnePlus can ship to.
