Full Tilt Shenanigans

[obvv]

Hi All,

Yesterday I signed into FTP and clicked the "My Promotions" tab, and a window popped up with a special bonus (on the same page as the Iron Man stuff). I clicked on that and it told me that I had opted in to a special $100 bonus as long as 800FTP's were earned.

I earned about 400 since opting in,checked my status on the bonus, saw that it had me at zero points, and decided to fire them off an email before I went to bed.

Well, I woke up, and now the email hasn't been replied to, and the bonus part under my promotions has disappeared!!!! Just taken away from me without notice or response to the email, even AFTER I opted in!!

I have been patiently waiting for a response from them but as usual they dont respond and I need action before the 1st of Feb as thats when the bonus apparently expires.


Here is the text of the bonus, I managed to get a copy of that before fulltilt just randomly decided to take it away!!

********************************************

Special Bonus Status Page
Congratulations! Because of your status at Full Tilt Poker, you are now eligible for special bonus of $100. This bonus is not available to everyone and is available for a limited time.
You have now opted into this promotion, which means you can now claim your $100 bonus by earning 800 Full Tilt Poker points before Feb 01 2007 00:00. Once you begin playing, you may return to this page and view your progress at any time you like by selecting the 'My Promotions' link in the game software's Cashier and then clicking on the 'Special Bonus Status' link.
As of Jan 29 2007 01:19AM, you have earned 0.00 points toward your bonus. You need to earn an additional 800 points before Feb 01 2007 00:00 in order to claim your bonus of $100

Why did you take this away from me without notification fulltilt?

I got that same offer and cleared it without issue. I wonder why yours was not credited?

I got the offer and eventually the $100 (without having to do anything other than play hands), but the promo never showed up in the "My Promotions" tab.

Any new progress on this?? I am having the exact same problems, yet I know several friends who successfully collected their bonus. Regardless of some players being successful in collecting their bonus, it's wrong for Full Tilt to extend the same promise to others and then take it away when they are halfway through completing the requirements. Would appreciate anyone who has any feedback from Full Tilt or has any knowledge of what's going on.

Thanks,

Spidey

I didnt get the offer......... now I'm thoroughly peeved.


Play 28 out of 29 days with the SOB's and I get no bonus?!?!

Gawd they make me so irritaded......... or am I just jealous?

The bonus was for low-volume players or players that had left FT, not grinders.

finally got a reply from FTP!

Snipped the relevant part:

"Thanks for contacting Full Tilt Poker Customer Support. My name is
Jilann and I'll be happy to assist you!

Unfortunately, it looks like you did not opt into the Special Bonus by
January 26th. As such, this offer was not activated for you. I'm sorry
you were unable to participate in this Special Bonus"

Now, in the original post, it clearly says that I did in fact opt in to the bonus, so I'm not overly impressed with their response... but what else to do?

I think you had to click on an activation link in an email to start the promotion. My guess is that you missed this step so they never started recording your hands.
