I'm talking about merchandise, not freerolls. Party is probably about to cancel my account so I think I need to use my points now.

I believe outfitting bums in PP hats and t-shirts is a good use of points. You are doing something for humanity.

get the towels..and give them out as presents @ christmas to your office buddies or something..they are actually pretty cool as they can both be used as a bag and a towel.

I just got the Hooded Sweatshirt a couple days ago, it's actually pretty nice (compared to some of the other stuff).

definately have to agree. if anyone is thinking of ordering it, make sure you order it a size larger than you normally would -- tends to run small.

Current Party Points Balance:
(After Redeems) 5196

Total Party Points Earned: 18


Ive never ordered anything. Why is my earned only 18 and after redeems so much more. Ive never redeemed anythings so shouldnt they be the same? Did Bumjar make a mistake and doesnt know what redeems means?

So how many points do i likely have to spend?

thanks

Towels baby hell yeah

I'm going for the century mark with towels. I figure I could have it this month if I really cared.

I believe the points earned is for the current month...could be wrong.

and for the points usage, i've purchased the polo shirts. the beach sandals also look neat

Bonus whoring. My Empire account was closed a few months ago for the same reason, and now I've attempted to deposit only to have it blocked. A few other people have mentioned this, but they said that it was cleared up after they called Party. Well I called Party and guess what? That's not enough: They want me to email vip@empirepoker.com to "clear it up," which probably means they'll just kill my account when I do.

In any case, I have about 11k points and am thinking of the following combination (once they get sports bags back, unless anyone thinks the sports bags suck): Sports bag (5.5k), hooded sweater (3k), and either a polo shirt (2k) or towel and sandals (1k + 1k). Hey I might even have some left over for a cap! That'll be totally sweet next time I go to Foxwoods. Nothing says "PHEAR MY LEET SKILLZ" like a Party Poker baseball cap.

Ive been paying off my house payments with party points for months. Also a lot of fast food joints are starting to accept party points as currency. They may or may not also be good at the Detroit zoo snack bar.

That answers my question of how long it would take for someone to reference peter jennings.

the hoodies are good, but the baseball cap is only good if you have a four year old or you look like beetlejuice

Are you planning on getting more of each because when I went to "redeem my points" the stuff was only like 400 points and around there.

Good thinking TK, but I'm nowehere near Detroit. I'm going to head to Connecticut now and see if I can use them at the Foxwoods buffet, or if I can at least use them for tipping all those beautiful waitresses.

I adopted a starving kid from Ethiopia with my Party Points. Just 30 points a day is enought for this child to receive towel/bags, undersized flip-flops, and poor customer service. I feel real good about myself because of it.

I've got a baseball hat, visor, and hooded sweatshirt. The baseball hat is pure crap. The hooded sweatshirt isn't much better. I wear it when I run in the rain - I'd never wear it otherwise. The visor is probably the nicest out of the three, if you like to wear visors. I don't, so it doesn't do me a lot of good.

How do the sizes run on the polo shirts, and are you talking the solid color ones or the Hawaiian?
