Default Absolute further squeezing its player base

For the past 2 weeks, Absolute hasn't offered any reload bonuses. I Just got another email they send to their VIP members and again there's no mention of bonus. Everything is going to crap there it seems.

I got a phone call with a promo offer from Absolute today.

I guess this is a great offer:

- With your next deposit of $1,000 or more you will receive:

- 5% unrestricted cash (capped at $50) or $10 cash which ever is greater!

- 30% added to your pending bonus account! (capped at $300)

- One entry to our EXCLUSIVE VIP Invitational $5,000 tourney either on the 1st or the 3rd Friday of the month!

- One free seat to our $150k Guaranteed Tournament!

Hmmm. Maybe I should have answered that "unknown" number.

Is this available to all players? Is there a code for this?

Please keep in mind this is a special promotion that is not available on our website or advertised anywhere else. This offer is valid only for player xxxxx.

P:S.: I'm not a VIP player....haven't played at AP for 6 month.

I've been VIP Elite practically since the VIP program started. I get emails constantly offering me freerolls, deposit bonuses, etc. I actually started receiving MORE of these emails after they announced all the bogus changes they were making. My inbox is filled with emails like these:

"Free money at Absolute!"
"300 more reasons to play at Absolute Poker!"
"Your money is safe at Absolute Poker!"

Most of the emails are filled with boasts about how awesome Absolute Poker is, how great they treat their volume players, how wonderful it is to be a VIP elite, etc. The one email I haven't gotten is the one saying they've changed their new [censored] rakeback and bonus structure back to the way it used to be. I haven't played a hand there in a month and I won't be playing any hands there this month, either.

Absolute has NOTHING to offer without the fat rakeback and bonuses. If you're still playing there at the $3/$6 and $5/$10 levels, you should really reexamine your options.

I had a call from a VIP rep with the same offer, only I only needed to deposit $700. I received my call 2 days after I had pulled all of my money out of my account.
