Absolute just called me

[flair1239]

It was funny I had been looking this weekend at my ARP points. I had like 39,900 of them.

Anyway they offered me $75 for my points, which is about .002 cents per point. I might have gotten more, but I did not think it was a horrible deal, as I never play tournaments.

So anyway I thought that was nice.

a couple other people reported the same thing last week (cash-back for their points via a phone-call or e-mail)


I agree that it reflects well on their customer-service.

I'm kind of a sucker, because that stuff goes a long way with me. At any site.

For instance on Absolute, I will play HU on shorthanded 5/10 if there is not another game going, even though I hate headsup, because I want to keep the games going.

I just think if we want better service from a site like Party, we have to reward the sites that do take care of their customers. Paradise and PokerStars are two other sites that jump to mind.

[MicroBob]

completely agree with everything regarding customer-service (specifically paradise and stars).



keeping the games going HU at 5/10 when that's not your game though is crossing the line a bit though. If you aren't a good HU player then don't play it.

You're under no obligation to keep a game going (and risk your money) just because the site is treating you better than you've come to expect elsewhere.

The first ARP tournament using points was worth $62.50 for 25,000 points, but they have gotten a little worse I believe so $75 sounds about right.

I sold them about 35k points for $62 yesterday. I didn't know about the 25k ARP tourney, but i'm not sure if I would have ever played in it anyways. I'm happy enough with the cash (as I was never really expecting the points to amount to anything).

Anyone get this?
