Stars VIP for SNG player

[Olback]

Ok i emailed Stars about the program in regards to the tournies and the FPP's for unregistering from tournies and this is the reply.

Hello XXXX,

Thanks for your interest in our VIP program.

1: We talked about this in some length and finally decided on the posted schedule for these freerolls. I understand that the time is not the best for Aussies, but unfortunately a vast majority of our players are based in
North America. We will obviously gather feedback from our players and see what we can do to accomodate all our players. I have also forwarded your comments to our Marketing team in charge of the program.

2) The way this will work is that you can buy a ticket to a tourney using FPPs. You then use this ticket to register for the tourney. If you unregister, you will get your ticket back.

3) The packages will come with travel expenses and accomodations. You will have to wear PokerStar gear in the event.

Regards,

XXXX
PokerStars Support Team

It should be noted that I still think the program is a good idea, it just makes the freerolls realtively useless to me as they are on from 1am-4am in the morning here.

Also i am unsure what they mean in 2)

I assume they mean you will have to wait until the tourney the following week to enter...

Ok, thats makes sense. So the whole FPP --> tourny --> unregister --> $T combo seems dead then

[curtains]

Whoa, you can turn your Fpps into T$?? How do you do that, whats the rate?

[jmillerdls]

Well, that was the initial question, but that seems to be a no-go. However, can this be done through satellite...though, you would have to win the FPP satellite first..then withdraw from the main even for T$?

It would great if it worked but the reply i got from PS (scroll up) means that it would not work.

People have said that they have done this before.

I started a thread to discuss that here:

Wonder what this rate can work out to for a winning player.
