 "*Your regular points target for each week is 11245 and your weekly bonus is
$440."

Last month my offer was $1100 for 11k points in the enire month. Now this
month you guys send me a an offer for $440 if I get 11245 points in one
week? That is 4x as much play as last month. I have no chance at getting that many points and find my offer to be qute ridiculous. Pleae re- consider revising
my offer and adjust it to more reasonable points totals.

Thank you for contacting us.

This is a target that has been put together by our marketing department based on your past play. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to change the targets or bonuses. None of our players have been allowed to negotiate the offer for February.

However, your feedback has been forwarded to the concerned department.Itýs important to us learn about your thoughts and we are considering each of your suggestions carefully.

We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused by the late reply.

That's just wrong. You must generate lots of cash for them, you would think they would want to keep you happy.

I used to think PP was the best site because the fish and reloads. I now know that there are plenty of sites offering better bonuses, rakeback and well...Europeans. No offense to the good Europeans here.

That sounds like when the government had to step in and keep AOL and other ISPs from offering 10,000 free hours per month.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

I'd take that as a slap in the face. I'd be on the phone with them telling how insulted you are.

A $400 bonus for that much play would be like a $1 bonus for a $25NL player after 5000 raked hands.

$185 for 3765. I had $450 for 6100 in January.

The worst part is that bonus points for happy hour don't count like they did in January.

The advantage is that every hand for the next 8 weeks will have the potential for rake rebate.

Still, at 15/30 limit, this is 4200 raked hands a week, which is a pretty healthy pace for me. They are obviously trying to increase our playing time. I'd probably be satisfied if the points were the same but the $ was more, maybe $250 or $300.

Is anyone thinking about boycotting Party Poker because of this?

What about the games, have they games changed at all because of the new requirements (gotten tighter)?

Just to make this promotion even worse, I recieved my first week of bonus from it today and discovered that they cash in all of the party points that you earned for the bonus. It seems like they should have just put an item in the party point store allowing us to redeem party points for money at a certain exchange rate instead of placing all of these insane weekly play requirements for us.
