Bite the hand that feeds -- gift horse in the mouth -- much ado about nothing.....take your pick of cliches. You guys are freaking insane.

[/ QUOTE ] I never said it was impossible to get cash by credit cards or other means but you really have to think of all the costs involved in going that route. First of all, 10,000 Euros != $13,000 US. He's already getting an unfavorable rate there from FTP, and he still has to withdraw that cash from his FTP acct which may or may not have tax implications involved in the future. If you were to take out 10k euros while in Monte Carlo, I'd promise you that it would cost much more than $200 US. Credit card fees for cash advances are usually much higher than the 1.5% that you mentioned. He has such a short time period here that it's just a huge hassle to try and figure out how to come up w/10k euros in a different country. In the end, this probably cost the OP around $1k US or so, if not more.

Re: Full Tilt Sends me to Monte Carlo with nothing...
I've never played on FT and the more stories I hear about their customer service, the less likely it is that I will play there.

Re: Full Tilt Sends me to Monte Carlo with nothing...
and, as mentioned previously, FT shouldn't just assume that this will be easy for him. They have no idea what his financial situation is.
After that, when he TELLS THEM that this isn't easy for him then there is zero guessing involved. They screwed up. He won a satellite and their forced 'solution' on him doesn't work. He shouldn't be punished by FT and have to go through any hassle at all for not being able to come up with $13k on a spur of the moment. THAT IS FT'S PROBLEM!! Not his. And what is up with the 'gift horse in the mouth'. He won a satellite on there. Presumably, FT made a profit on the entry-fees of that tourney. They aren't GIVING him a damn thing. He won it from them and they are the ones who is making him jump through several additional hoops to claim his prize. Yes, he screwed-up with his plane reservations. But FT could have just said, "Sorry, nothing we can do. We'll request that they put you in day 1b but it's really up to them. Maybe you can try changing your flight." Instead, they come up with a solution that is worse than his original problem and they don't even ask him first if it will be okay with him...nor do they try to help him out after they push forth this solution that completely screws him over way more than he was screwed before.

dude, you're more of an idiot each time you talk. [/ QUOTE ] You're right. $200 (or even $1000?) of my money to play free in Monte Carlo is just too much. I give up. You guys are obviously much more intelligent then me. Please, please, someone give me the opportunity to play in Monte Carlo for $200. I beg you....
