im assuming u realise that the above points are bonus points and not regular points and so wont count towards this "bonus"......they will come in handy for another cap tho [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I got the $70 bonus for 760 pts, a walk in the park for me, found money if you will. The more 2+2's that leave Party the better for me, this promotion even became more valuable. I hope every single one of you unhappy TAG's pack up and leave. Go to UB I heard their new point count bonus plan is wonderful. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Party are run by morons. Your post is an example.

They have for serveral years offered people like me (who basically leech on them) bonuses and I clear them and leave. Meanwhile they construct the bonuses so that the player base who should be highly valuable to them, the casual players, won't have time to clear them. And they seem to ignore those loyal players like you, who play there even when not having a bonus.

Seriously, even an idiot should be able to figure out that taking care of their loyal players should be top priority.

That they are now cutting off people like me is a good sign of them having some kind of idea what to do, but if they at the same time don't step it up when it comes to taking care of their loyal customers it is a wasted opportunity.

Anyone with common sense could have made changes that make sense (from Partys perspective) ages ago. But it's like they are determined to let someone else be the biggest card room online.

On-target response from Party?

It's boilerplate, just like any other response to any other e-mail.

Free money if I play a bunch, I don't need to do anything else like deposit. This deal is fantastic.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what Party is trying to do with the points for cash offer. This is not intended to be a bonus - this is their way of giving us rakeback. They've been trying to figure out why high volume players are leaving Party and the answer they got was that we want rakeback. So that's what we've got.

If you do the math you'll find that earning the points and getting the "bonus" will add up to 15-25% rakeback. Of course, we said we would play at Party more with rakeback so they set the number of hands needed to reach the goal higher than our previous play. In other words, we said we would play more at Party with rakeback so play a little more than you have in the past and you've got it.

As far as the bonuses go, somebody else posted a response from Party saying they were going to stagger the reload bonuses to avoid the usual log jam of bonus clearing rocks. This sounds like a good idea to me. And I really hope it's true because I didn't get a reload bonus pop-up yet.

Note that it doesn't tell me how I clear the bonus.

Two unfortunate coincidences are that I'm too short of cash to use this, and they don't offer what I want to play, anyway.

I've had $6X.XX at Party, dormant, for a while now. I should have moved it to Neteller and then redeposited.

Me too, mine was a clone of the previous bonus. 15%/Max $100/7x. I'm not complaining, I'm already half way through. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
