Yes, have personally won several auctions They send you a certificate via email if you are the successful bidder. I had no problem redeeming once I was on island. The key is to research and know the actual value of what your are bidding on and bid accordingly.

I agree with Walt - have also won and had no problem redeeming. You pay the St. Maarten Hospitality and Trade Association and then they'll email the certificate once received.
