Good ol' Party

[peterbirks]

Well, would you adam and eve it? Just after Party tells me that my 35,000-odd player points have expired (oh, the shame,! losing something which it's impossible to spend!) I log in to pull out the $500 I foolishly deposited a few weeks ago in an attempt to get a bonus. And Party informs me that I now qualify for a $100 bonus if I deposit before November 25!

These marketing people are fools! Do they assume that people really have no memory whatsoever? That, every time something is offered, it is forgotten a week later?

So, the tactic is clearly to not play the site for a month, or 90 days, or whatever. Wait for your points to expire, and then to log in for your deposit bonus.

I've been meaning to post this picture for some time, but I never got around to scanning it (I am not very good at scanning stuff into web pages. The pictures never come out the right size...)

People have commented many times on Phil Jopke Hellmuth's feet first typing in chat boxes, but I can now reveal his handwriting. Graphologists eat your heart out. Guess the age of this writer...

Re: Party Points worthless , never!!!!

Never got into e-bay. Paypal screwed me on my account shortly after e-bay bought it (dollar account barred, trades with online poker rooms barred). I couldn't be bothered to set up a new UK-based Paypal account, and, given the potential for fraud which seems to exist on e-bay, I would need a good motivation to set up an e-bay account.

That said, 80 beanie hats looks a pretty good reason. Wish I'd thought of that before. :-)
