Sizzler - Two Day Discount Offer

[erimus]

I have been having an e-mail exchange with Party complaining bitterly about the change to the points structure for the $25NL tables. After 4 unsatisfactory replies from them I did as promised and removed by (pitiful) bank roll from their site. This appeared to have the desired affect as the latest mail from them contained the following:

=======================***************============ ========
We have added $50 for the inconvenience caused so that you can start playing also since you did not play on 21-AUG-06 & 22-AUG-06, we will make an exception for these two days towards the promotion. Therefore, I request you to please start playing from today and start accumulating points more than 100 till 31st August to get $300.
=======================***************============ =========

Sad to say that I've told them to stuff it as I'm now playing elsewhere.

It appears that actions speak louder than words with Party but I'm afraid that they have lost me.

They gave me 100 bonus so that i lost " ONLY " 50, but it need around 10 mails, 2 calls and a 1500 $ cashout. Wh they cant do that after one mail:(

Because most people probably give up after the first or second try.

[dc_publius]

Somebody post their email exchanges. I'm one of the lazy who donesn't want to get into email battles with party... but willing to cut and paste. lol

I tried twice, but they keep saying no. Anyone else have something I can write?

PP,

It says in your terms and conditions, "...2. PartyGaming reserves the
right to award PartyPoints selectively, at any time, to players chosen
at PartyGaming's discretion. Any failure to follow the terms and
conditions referred to herein, any abuse of the Players Club or any conduct
detrimental to the interests of PartyGaming may result in the
termination of your membership of the Players Club and the cancellation of
accrued PartyPoints..."

Can I be "selectively rewarded" 100 points for Aug 9th and 10 points
for Aug 18th respectively. I think my high volume of play could
selectively deserve these points.

Thanks,
xxxxxxxxxxxx

Yeah really. PT said I played enough hands but in reality I was 1 raked hand short. I was literally at 499 raked hands and I asked support if they could make an exception as I planned to play for the full 31 days. They said NOPE SORRY GGPO

Latest response for me:

Dear xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

The Promotion is system Generated, and as such even if I awarded you
the Points they would not count for the particular days in the Promotion.

They gave me 20$ for screwing me.

I withdrew my balance and went elsewhere.

[nikkiree1]

My full chain...looks like it's a no. I've tried 4 times now:

Dear xxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

Firstly I would like to say that it is not possible to add Party Points
to an account and have these points count towards any ongoing
promotion.

Secondly, even if we could do such a thing we would not, as it would be
wholly unfair to all our other players if we were to favour any one
over the others.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further
queries, but please refrain from continuing to request we break any rules for
you.

PP,

Oh, I'm sure that you could "update" the system. What if a mistake
happened? There's no way that you could fix it?

Thanks,

PP,

Well, can you make an exception for these two days towards the
promotion for me? My MGR is high enough that it would only be a blip in the map
for PP. It would be most appreciated!

Any particular reason you tried to cut it as close as possible instead of leaving a buffer zone? Would it have killed you to play for 10-15 more minutes? Better safe than sorry.

[godofgamblers]

No it would not have killed me, but I assumed PT would be accurate to within 15 hands. I have no idea what went wrong, and I highly suspect Party's system to have messed up instead. This was 1/2 Limit btw, so all raked hands would count. Nowhere near midnight either.

I guess someone with your attitude was working at Party so did not want to give me mercy.
