Bid Peek

You’re invited to this month’s bid board

It only helps on Layer 1 bid

What it is

Before you build your PBS bid, see where the pilots senior to you are bidding. Put the pairings you want in your Layer 1, and Bid Peek shows when a senior is going for the same one — and suggests similar pairings that avoid the overlap.

Two ways to use it

iPhone app — follow steps 1 and 2 below.

Or in a browser — any phone or computer, nothing to install. Tap below to open Bid Peek with your invite link and join right away.

Copy your invite link first, then open the browser.

Open in browser

Your bid is kept in that browser. Keep using the same browser (bookmark it), and write down your recovery code to sign in anywhere else — including the app.
