Party VIP Question

[Uglyowl]

I was told in around 3,400 regular points in a month would get in me in. A 1 for 18 streak in $22 SNG's got me frustrated and a few days behind I quit.

Kinda my way of getting back at the bad beats [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Here's the email I sent them:
Dear Sirs;\

I am writing to enquire about your vip program. My account name is xxx, my current player name is xxx.

I started playing at party poker regularly a couple months ago and may continue to play at party as my main site depending on incentives to do so. I am asking that you review my play and let me know what would get me vip status.

I have accounts at about a dozen poker sites with different incentives at different sites and want to know about what incentives I could get by playing party poker as my regular site.

Sincerely,
xxx

(i just realized i said that i started there regularly a couple months ago and meant to say a couple weeks ago, but whatever..it seems like a canned reply anyway)


Here's my response: (I just started with party again and have ageraged about 300 regular points a day for the past ~10 days)

I don't like this open ended encouragement to play a lot stuff. It's like play as much as possible and we will let you know, f that.

Party gives so many different numbers when it comes to getting into the VIP program.

I think they will give different point values to reach VIP because it's dependent on the level you play at and if you are blue silver or gold. I'm guessing they have a dollar value in mind for the MGR needed and convert that to points given the conditions above. But then I'm guessing much like Party does.

I have 5000 points for the month, just switching back to PP mid month. I haven't played here regularly in a couple years. 1000 of those points was from a deposit and I will prob get another 1K points by months end. I sent an inquiry about getting VIP status and might bail them if I don't get in.

They don't count bonus points towards your vip target (raked days, deposits, and happy hours are all considered bonus). So all your points have to come from regular play.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I have 3100 regular points this month, all but about 100 of those are since the 14th of the month, so less than 2 weeks. I emailed the regular email off the PP client and they wrote back:

Thank you for contacting us.

Some players are invited to join the VIP club by our specialized team that takes care of the VIP club and its various promotions. It is based on certain criteria that we are not aware of.
