Default Re: PS: 10 Billionth Hand Promo Details

The double vpp's is in effect right?

Cause I earned ~1800 VPP's today, and ended up with around 4200 FPP's. Is it that I only earned ~900 VPP's and thus that doubled and since I'm a Platinum I earned 4200 FPP's. But that doesn't make sense since aren't your FPP's suppossed to doubble too? Someone enlighten me please?

everything is doubled during this stretch. if you got 900 vpp (under normal conditions) today, that is now 1800 vpp. At plat, this is 4500 fpp.

-----------Do you need to have 186k FPP's to use concierge service. Like for instance say you wanted that $30 CD, which is like what 2k fpp's or what not. Can you use Concierge service with <186k fpp's (if you item doesn't cost 3k) and if your not Supernova (but your platinum)?

We can do smaller transactions for example a common request is a new Computer or Laptop. The CD was a no brainer to approve for something so simple to make for a happy player. We have approved some items for Platinumstars but most of the time they are just weeks away from Supernova so it doesn't make sense to make them wait.

This promotion might be the final nudge for the switch to PS fulltime and say goodbye to Absolute.

Scottyy, please stop wasting money on the silly concierge crap and just give it back to us with real rakeback. Thanks.

How are reward bonuses not real rakeback? The only difference that I see is that "concierge crap" is slightly better rate for FPPs.

You do have to get 10500 base fpp to clear. But during the promotion, you earn base fpp twice as fast.
