English language hijack.

Has anyone heard the use of "cater" in this fashion before? I believe "catering to" someone's needs / desires is common and appropriate; I've never heard of an item (like an offer) being "catered to" someone. In my experience most will use "tailored to" in this structure and I have never seen the use of "catered to" in this manner.

Sorry for hijack - gotta keep up with these crazy kids' far-out lingo.

I got this e-mail too. My favorite part is that there is NO PHONE NUMBER listed for us "special" people.

As I mentioned in the VIP thread, my VIP rep said 4K raked hands a month gets you into VIP. Supposedly everyone with that qualification is getting a tailored offer based on their previous play. I really screwed myself by only multitabling low limit PL/NL games for October so I got a chitty offer (30K hands for $150) Had I known October was a "test" period I would have played higher limits to get a better offer for November. And it didn't matter that I played 25K hands in 2 weeks either, it was the limit that mattered.

There is plenty of info in the various VIP threads to garner some insight as to who gets what, why and so forth.

This lastest e-mail did nothing to bolster my confidence...
