so i'm almost at elite- are they going to send a chipset to me immediately? because i think i'd rather have the cash. do i also get tourny entries or something?

[/ QUOTE ]

I emailed Absolute about this last week and they called me the next day which I thought was rather good service.

Anyhow, they said that they did not offer any cash equivalent for the VIP chipset but did confirm that you could get cash instead of items in the VIP store.

So how does one determine the cash equivalent of items in the vip store?

[ubercuber]

Can anybody who has the ABS chipset tell me if it is a nice set? Is the logo a sticker?

I am not very fond of the sticker chips Party sent me. Although I like the feel quite a bit, the stickers are off center, missing, etc...

Thanks.

I asked the guy on the phone how much I could get for each item and he reply was something like...

"Uhhh the Ipod was $350 if I remember ummmm laptop I think was ummm nine-hundred and something dollars I think."

His accent wasn't bad at all but English clearly wasn't his first language. They actually called when I was sleeping so at this point I decided to just trust the 2p2er who said that the card table was the best way to go and didn't ask any more questions. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Has anyone done this recently?
I emailed them about it yesterday.
Here is the response I got:

Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, it is not possible to redeem your RPs for cash. However, we do recommend that if none of the items form the store interest you, feel free to exchange them for entries to the Guaranteed tourneys. These have very big prize pools and offer you the chance of winning big cash awards!

I traded my 45k for $375 a couple weeks ago. I did hear they will have a points for cash option in the near future. Heard this from an Abs Rep. (not sure how true this is)
You may want to just hold on to them and see. I can't imagine it being better than 100k pts for $1000 though?

I still havn't received my chipset. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I did turn points into cash about a month ago though. I am going to lose my VIP Elite status at the end of the month so I suppose I should email them and see if they will trade enough points for an ipod into cash. I'll let you guys know.

Did anyone notice that the chipset and poker table are now missing from the VIP section of the store?

Took me a while to get everything settle with Absolute as it appears that their support has become very slow as most email repies took 2-4 days. I sent two emails as it seemed that one should go to the VIP store for the ipod and the second to regular VIP support for the chipset. A brief summary of the emails:

Me: I'd like to exchange points for an ipod but receive cash instead
Abs: What color ipod would you like?
Me: I wanted cash instead of an actual ipod.
Abs: Here is $375


Me: I was supposed to receive a chipset for becomming VIP Elite but it never arrived. Has it been shipped yet?
Abs: Sorry, we are out of chipsets. Would you like something else instead?
Me: What else can I get?
Abs: $100
Me: Ship it.
