Messed up Empire "refer a friend"...should they make good anyways?

[Big Limpin']

So last week, im talking with a friend at a homegame who was interested in playing some onlince. I send him the empire "refer a friend" offer...$25 to him, $50 to me.


Seems he somehow mistyped the bonus code when registering, something like instead of "TAF15" he typed "TSF15"...something liek that, we arent really sure.

SO i email support (VIP at that), and explain the situation, that we tried to do this as per the rules, somehow messed up, can they make it right. My reponse "sorry you got screwed, deal with it".

And thats fine an all, i mean, we *DID* mess up, but the fact remains that i recruited a new player for them, and that wont change. I feel that the classy thing for them to do is to fix it in the system.

SHould i get back on their case about it? or just let it slide? I havent played on Empire since this, and i provided alot of revenue for them(relatively speaking). What with them losing players left and right, wouldnt they be wise to make the effort to appease us?

FOr tightwadding us out of $75, they have already lost my $1000/week vigourish. And they will lose the same amount next week. and the next. etc.

Am i being spiteful and pouty here? OR have i cause to ask them for a favor?
