Step 1 11,000
Step 2 25,000
Step 3 I don't remember

3 for 315,000?

It's actually the same as the others. Appropriate use of spaces is not one of Party's fortes.

[/ QUOTE ]
I completely agree it could be a typo on party's part, but I think assuming my offer is the same as the 1k/5k/15k one is potentially damaging. In the past, party has shown an obvious willingness to scale rewards according to past play, so I don't see why this promo should be any different. Considering I could earn 1k points in less than two days with normal play, I don't see why they'd make me that offer at all.

Plz email PP that they hurry up to change the PPs distribution especially for NL100 und NL200 Monstertables.

It sucks, that you pay so much rake and get 4 lousy partypoints. A 3/6 FL player gets 15 (!!) points on that tables. Unfair [censored].

Makes no sense for NL players to be motivated for this VIP deal beause of lousy points distribution.

From the e-mail from vip...

"I Also have some very good news for you, our Players Club points structure has been changed as of today and all game types and stakes have been brought in to line accost the board."

My interpretation is that they will release a new player point structure soon. The e-mail says today, so hopefully details of today's change will be up by tomorrow. So we should all hold off on our promo-offer value calculations until we see how things change.

I emailed Party about the new pts structure. They returned this

Since that didnt do much to clarify I sent this

Is there info posted anywhere on the site yet? I looked earlier and only
saw the same old page. If not can you let me know a bit more about this?

"Our players club points structure has also now been changed too,
we have aligned our points to your actual play. The new points system will
give
you a better value for your actual play on both poker and casino."

It sounds like you wont have to earn in groups of 20 anymore... is that
correct.

Thx for your time

Dear xxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting us.

The bonus points have been discontinued. The new points system will give you a
better value for your actual play on both poker and casino.

We have encountered some delays but the new structure will be in the players
club section of your party account, in due course.

If you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact the VIP team
by email at vip@partypoker.com.

We wish you the best of luck, and thank you for choosing us as your online
gaming site.

I assume that means that they are going to take away bonus points but not add anything that will benefit us for many months. Hard to believe that they would encounter "some delays". I dont think they have any idea what these changes are that "will give you a better value for your actual play on both poker and casino".

I got nothing...

[/ QUOTE ]

30-35k hands of 5/10 and 10/20 6 max a month became 0 hands a few months ago. There has been no attempt to get me back and no inquiry as to why I no longer play there.

[Cry Me A River]

I got the 3 step promotion. Which is strange, I've never gotten a VIP offer before from Party, I haven't played there since July 15th, and Party has never been my primary site. I pretty much only ever played there for bonuses. I only have 30K hands there in the last year. Only 2k hands in July and 4K in May (nothing in June). Most of my play has been at the $100NL Level.

I think it's pretty random.

As for this promotion, it's not nearly enough to move me from Stars where I'm almost 1/3 of the way to my 50" tv.

[astroglide]

i'm already gold/vip, and i received this email.

am i misunderstanding something? at 2.5 cents per point, why wouldn't i opt out?

[antifish225]

This actually is not that bad - for 50K points you will get 1250 - vs. right now 50K points gets you a $200 IPOD nano.......better than nothing...

[astroglide]

ah, hm. i never spend partypoints so i hadn't checked the conversion/store. thanks!

I got pumped to gold, itll be interesting to see how much $ I generate from this thing, but playing 200nl I'm guessing not much.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did everyone get bumped up a level? I didn't seem to, and I'm disappointed.

[/ QUOTE ]

I have a feeling the bump might be for no limit players, can somone confirm if they've been bumped a level and play only limit?

[/ QUOTE ]

I only play limit and got bumped to gold.....

I know this is covered elsewhere, but I can't find it.

How do you figure out whether your blue, silver, or gold?

[/ QUOTE ]

Open Party, click My Account, click Players Club, click "If you want to know how many...". Check it. Thank-a-n00b.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, this is how u check ur status.....straight from Party email:
You can check the category of your account, yours is Silver category
and the points you have earned in the quarter towards achieving your next
category, by logging into your party account click on "Players Club",
then on "Details" you will see a link "Check your PartyPoints statement"
click on this link and you will see the above information.
