Empire Royal Flush Club

[craniac24]

2 questions:

Has anyone here ever gotten Empire to upgrade them from VIP to Royal Flush Club status before having actually earned the 15,000 points? I've been having an issue with Empire (long story) so as a "solution" I asked if they perhaps could upgrade me to RF status. I already have about 13,000 points and it would only take another 2 months to get there myself. Unfortunately, they turned down my request.

Also...for anyone who has gotten to 25k points and received either the TV or the LCD...what kind did you get? Was it anything worthwhile? Or just something that you could probably pick up for $150 at Best Buy.

TIA

1) I've never heard of someone being bumped early.

2) I dunno, still waiting for that damn watch to come in the mail.

Ok...then perhaps another way of posing the question:

Has anyone ever gotten empire to grant them extra VIP points for any reason (or no reason)?

[illunious]

In the early days of VIP points they bumped a bunch of people (including me) to 5k (I think it was 5k) points, for no apparent reason.

i was bumped to VIP a few days ago, no idea about Royal Flush though.

People actually want that junky watch that says Empire Poker on it?

Man, consider mine for sale!

the real incentive to get to 15k points is in the free $100/mth you get.


When I was closing in on 15k points I just finished it off with a bunch of MTT's.
It's not too tough to get 1k or more points in a day if you just play in a bunch of Empire MTT's.
Obviously 1k points in a day is impossible via raked-hands.


The watch is reasonably nice but it DOES say empirepoker on it.
I haven't gotten it sized yet so it's not THAT big a deal to me.

The TV is pretty nice.
About $450 or so retail. 27" screen Sony Triniton (or something like that).
I posted pictures of the model before but don't feel like looking it up.
Just take my word for it that it's a pretty nice TV.

They don't guarantee which model you are getting because if you live in the middle of nowhere they want to reserve the right to buy you something cheaper. If you live someplace 'normal' you probably get the same model 27" Sony that everyone else has gotten.


There has never been ANYONE who has received any VIP-points bump except for those who get bumped up to 5k points.
After that you're on your own.
(Obviously I can't KNOW this.....but nobody can. A lot of people have asked this question and NOBODY has ever claimed that they got bumped up to 15k points or anything like that and I read these stupid forums A LOT....so I'm going out on a limb here and saying that it has officially NEVER happened).

I think your safe on that limb
