PokerStars Island. All expenses food, rooms, girls, drinks, etc can be debited directly from your Stars account. Would be perfect for everyone.

Supernova VIPs are able to take advantage of the Concierge service for "luxury" purchases. Not quite the same as directly debiting FPPs, but close if you provide receipts that are approved.

Except the gift certificates return poor value, they're hardly worth it now you've raised the FFP price.

Eg the $250 AUD Gift Cert works out at approx 0.011250 USD$/FPP (exchange rate on or about 12/MAY/2012)

At today's rate it equals - 0.0107974 USD$/FPP ( http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=AUD )

They used to get approx 0.015196 USD$/FPP on average.

Essentially losing 1/3 of its value.

I emailed the VIP store the response I got was "we have to increase the value in order to cover our increased costs of merchandise."

Its a gift card you get from - http://everydaygiftcards.com.au/

See - http://everydaygiftcards.com.au/View...CcanBuy%3DTrue

You can order these online.

Mind boggles.

Thanks for the feedback. It's been passed along to the team managing this offering.

New additions are planned. However it is highly unlikely that they will be launched before the Red Spade Open on August 12. Side note -- depending on your VIP status, you may be able to purchase a discounted RSO tournament ticket.

Im pretty sure someone has already asked, but the M-size black hoodie with PS logo on the back is out of stock for months - will it ever come back?

No immediate plans for this particular item, unfortunately.

I do not understand why there is no gift cards to stores like Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, Nieman Marcus, Dell, all you have to do Caleb is buy them, am I missing something?

I already asked this, and weirdly enough, it went unanswered.

The VIP Store Sale is currently live in the client. The web updates will be a bit longer.

It is a little more complicated than that. Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass it on to the appropriate team.

Update: the price of AUD Gift Certificates has been lowered as follows:

$250 AUD was 22,000 FPPs; now 19,500.
$1000 AUD was 85,000 FPPs; now 76,000.

I see the VIP Store sale is now up. Nothing jumps out at me as being better than the $1.6k bonus unless you need any of that stuff. Ah well.

Re: Pokerstars VIP store items review

Hi, you got the Zip-Up Bamboo Hoodie with iPod Pocket on display, but i cant see the back of it. Is it just plain or are there any logos on the back (or on the sides) of the hoodie?
Thanks
