Default Your Party Points are About To Expire!

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again... WTF is wrong with Party Poker? Stars keeps improving and Party keeps getting worse.

I'm a fairly big player (in relative terms), or at least I have the potential to be. I have money in my Party account, and I play in their weekly $200+15 (yes, that's $15 to them every time I play in it) once or twice a month. I've also logged - oh, I don't know - 50,000 raked hands with them in the past couple of years. Just a guess.

Seems to me that I would be the kind of person they's like to keep around.

So yesterday or the day before, I get an email from them telling me my 20,000 Party Points are about to expire and blah blah blah. I roll my eyes, but just to shut them up, I throw a couple hundred more bucks into the account and go play an orbit or two or cash games. I figure that should do that trick, right?

Well, guess what? I just got email #2 from them today, again reminding me that my points are about to expire.

I just sent them the following reply:
I'll be very interested to see what canned reply I get from India. I'm guessing it will either be one telling me how to make a deposit, how t orequest a hand history, or maybe it will actually address my question, but will be in garbled English that is all but impossible to understand.

If I'm not happy with their reply, they can consider that account closed. And I guess I will be "buying" a bunch of Party Poker hats and crap too. Oh, goody.

What... the... hell???

I just went to see what sort of stuff I could redeem my points for. Is there nothing there? I see a couple of women's shirts, a tote bag, and a license plate.

Are you kidding me? What are these stupid points for if there is nothing worth redeeming them for???

I got 20 hats with my old accounts points. They still havent come in, but I can't wait for that package.

In other news, after all the stink people made about using the same neteller account with a new party account, all it took for me was 1 simple email, and I'm good to go.

Party is so dumb.

What did you say that made them ok with it?

And did you seriously order 20 hats? I suppose I could do that, you know, if they HAD HATS ANY MORE... Freaking Party.

So yeah, I'm good to go, even though the indian wording makes no sense.

And yeah I ordered 20 hats, but I closed the account the very next day, so who knows if I'll ever get them.

I'll guess I'll suffer through shitty points and merchandise to play poker WITH THE WORST PLAYERS ON THE INTERNET!

Here's what I care about:

1) My money goes in quick.
2) My money comes out quick.

I don't need CS to stroke my dick or offer me merchandise in exchange for my play. I'll take a nice % rake back, thanks though.

So, all you sharks, go give Lee Jones a hummer and I'll stick to deciphering emails from Ahkbahr in Gibraltar. It's well worth it.
