Re: AP Interest Bearing Account
9% equals $7.50 per month per $1000. If you have rakeback at AP which is contributed versus FT which is dealt, that is probably a bigger difference in favor of FT.

Re: AP Interest Bearing Account
Does anyone know how their VIP points apply to tourneys? On their site it references 1 point per $4 in either "buyin fee" or "buyin" depending on where you look. So for a $10 + 1 tourney, are you contributing $1, $10 or $11 toward earning points?
I'd email AP but I'd rather know the answer before Halloween. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: AP Interest Bearing Account
so they're basically banking that you'll have to withdraw funds some of the time, thus nobody will really get the 9% interest.

Re: AP Interest Bearing Account
************************************************** ********
The real reason they are doing this is to help finance the business. Reduction of the business interest expense is the driver. The company has lines of credit that are extended for certain capital expenditures i.e. purchase of UB or upgraded servers for new player base ect. If AP has a line of credit extended for 7,000,000.00 at 18% the interest payment monthly is 105K, if they pay you instead they save 52.5K monthly while increasing revenue. ************************************************** ********* Kudos to AP management for this move...brave, risky and bold! |

Re: AP Interest Bearing Account
So an elaborate chip-dumping HU could work right? I don't play at AP or anything, but it seems like if you have a 2nd account and a friend, you can make cashouts over time.
