Default Re: PokerStars Conceirge Service Question

jsnipes;

He called and asked what I was looking for. I told him a 50" LCD television, maybe from BestBuy or CircuitCity. He told me I could either take a 3k BestBuy gift card, or go through OneCall.com and pick anything there for 3k. I'm not sure yet if it goes over 3k, if you can use more fpp's to cover the extra expense. I will tell you when I find out.

a concierge is usually found in a 5 star hotel who you can call to go shopping for small items like aftershave, condoms, hairgel, etc. the concierge kid also hooks you up with da best clubs and chicks in town.

originally it was an inhouse servant for a king.

on pokerstars, it's like some tailor service around the value of $3000.

i am a supernova, i can get you a concierge service. pm me.

thanks for the reply. I guess it sounds cool to the players, i don't see why they just don't offer assorted gift cards. What are some of the cooler things you think you could get under the concierge service? I mean will they send staff over to india to personally get you a hand crafted purple and red rug or will they just give you a 3k gift card to Pier 1? If you asked to have dinner with moneymaker and lee jones at mc donalds do you think they would set it up?

I'm not trying to be stupid, just trying to get a better idea of what you can really get through the concierge and if it would just be easier for them to offer assorted 3k gift cards.

So If we had like 800k points for example and wanted something that was relatively expensive and not in the store we could purchase this concierge service and then the "concierge" would use the value of that 180k fpps and however many more it took to purchase a vacation or a rolex or whatever?

Sorry for being so dumb.
