How is the Party Poker Suede Jacket?

I have close to 10000 points, and was thinking about eventually redeeming this, as it seems like the only decent item on the list. Anybody have it? How is it?

Also, somebody said you could redeem PP points for cash, is this true?

Thanks

Have you not logged into Party in two weeks? its been on every pop up at login. April 1st their "upgrading" players w/ 15000 pts or more, and they can redeem those points for cash. I'm way to low to try, but you should make a push for it, bet its better than the slick suede jacket they got.

The cash equivalent of the suede jacket (assuming you are silver level) is only $20. I have a feeling the jacket is worth that much (it can't be that bad, can it?).

Also, I recently got my baseball t-shirt and a polo shirt and they actually aren't that bad. Better than the cash equivalent for me.

Wow, I didn't know that.

Do you HAVE to have 15000 points by April 1st to be upgraded, so if you don't make it by April 1st, you're too late to redeem it for cash?

Also, do you know how much cash you can redeem it for?

Thanks

This is neither here nor there, but the Stars Lettermans jacket sure is nice. Mountain Parka is OK, and the UB jacket is just a small version of the stars mountain parka. UB has the best hats by far though.

I've heard the jacket is pretty nice considering where it came from.

If you do not have 15000 points by April 1st, you will not be a Silver member and can therefore not cash in points for cash. (I am in this same boat due to a hiatus).

However, you can only get you only get 0.2 cents per point at the Silver level and 0.3 cents at the (gold?) level, so it really isn't all that great. Most of the prizes, while not great, are worth more than their cash equivalent (granted, the prize selection is quite limited right now, but it might be worth waiting)

the jacket is nice when your on a winning streak.
all other times it is a painful reminder of your addiction to gambiling.
