I emailed them, told them I'd rather just have freaking money. I don't care if its $.03 per point. I already ordered a beanie. That's the best option they have. And its not even close.

if they offered $0.03 per point, there would be a lot of happy people. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Party are on the way down now I think...if Stars sorts out some kind of decent bonus scheme for Ring (which Lee seems to be promising when he says that the lack of rakeback will be a 'non-issue' soon) then Party are going to lose the #1 slot very soon..

party has already said that they will be adding items to their store...including cash for points and electronic items (like I-pods and what-not).


when they will actually get around to doing this is anyone's guess. but they have mentioned this before and no new news has come in the responses in this thread/.

I agree; Party DESPERATELY needs new schwag to give away.

Empire has an excellent collection of choices. It doesn't bother me if things have the Party logo on them, if they are nice things or things I would want anyway.

Electronics are a nice step in the right direction. . .

There are major catalogs from firms that do re-branded merchandise. I used to order from one for my company. There's absolutely no reason an outfit like Party can't offer a wide selection of customized items, including executive pens, drink holders, mugs, key rings, mugs, lighters, flashlights/torches, clocks, desktop items, bags and cases, travel mugs/coozies/car carriers, tools, candy, coffee, baloons, there's no end to it.

If Party sold Dunkin' Donuts brand coffee grounds, I would get a lot. I drink it by the gallon while playing. Or Dunkin' Donuts coupons.

Stress balls to throw. Or a stress pad for pounding the table on a suck-out.

Folding chairs for the beach. Barstools for the home poker set.

Check out positivepromotions.com or abetteridea.com, and qualitylogoproducts.com. I'll bet anyone here can find some things they wouldn't mind blowing party points on.

Notepads. Chip clips. Tumblers.

Playing cards, for chrissake.

I know someone who'd get Party Dice.

I'd love the following:

http://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/c...t-pen-y201.htm

http://www.qualitylogoproducts.com/custo...FTOKEN=99698315

Finding a bunch of items I wouldn't mind getting took me two minutes. What would you like?

Look folks. Any of the veteran party players here know that management could give a [censored] less about customer satisfaction.

In fact there have been several players with large rake contributions who threatened closing their accounts. They were told oh well sorry to hear this..

They just don't care. Nothing will change their minds, NOTHING.

Party is generating at least 5x the revenue of Stars.. there is no Poker site even close!!!

I have over 300,000 pp points. Trying to make a statement that their stuff isn't worth anything, one day I ordered 50 beanies cause there's nothing else to do with the points. 2 weeks later, sure enough I get a box with 50 yellow PP beanies in it. I took it to the goodwill, so maybe some homeless people will have warm heads this winter.
