I won a main event package through the FTP 150 seat guarantee. So they credited my account with $12,000 real cash (not T$), and I have to send in all my documentation (again because the last time I did this was over a year ago).
So Full Tilt recently approved me for $10k max withdrawal through BankWire. I withdrew my $10k, and now I'm just waiting for it to hit my bank account. I'm crossing my finger it happens BEFORE July 3.
I also won a main event package through the FTP 150 seat guarantee. I sent in all my paperwork to obtain the Wire Transfer rights and was recently approved for the 10k withdrawal yesterday. I've read different predictions on the ETA for the money hitting my account (3-5 days, 5-7, a couple weeks). I honestly don't know what to believe. I find it unacceptable for the money not to show up in my account prior to Day 1A of the Main Event. I head out on the 3rd so I am hoping I receive my money on the 2nd. I've emailed Full Tilt cashier support to expedite this request and received a reply with not much hope.
Great job winning this satellite, good luck in the main event and receiving your satellite winnings, I will see you out there !
I won a seat in the same tourney as you (150 seat guarantee) on sunday. I'm in similar situation. Did a bankwire transfer of the 10 grand yesterday. According to website it takes 3-5 days to hit your account by bankwire. If it doesn't show up by next monday, I'll probably email the cashier for more info. I know they are probably overwhelmed by these requests.
They told me they wouldnt let me bankwire to an America bank acct (i'm Australian) so I had to withdraw via moneybookers to my Australian bank account, get raped by currency conversion, then wire myself the money to the U.S and get raped by currency conversion again. My Main event now costs about $500 more than everyone else's. Didn't have any problems when I won an aussie millions package since they registered directly but i'm pretty annoyed, hell, even UB was more helpful than this when I won a live package there.
It took two days from the time I requested it for it to hit my account. It was 10K minus $43 which Wells Fargo took for doiing the transfer. High service charge, but I can't complain too much.
I got my $10k wired to my account recently, minus the fees that all the banks charge. Wells Fargo charges me $10, and all the intermediary banks that the money passed through had fees. Oh well. I had to "order" the money from Wells Fargo because I guess the max withdrawal limit is $5,000 a day.
Anyway, off to the WSOP ME with over $10k cash on me. Scary.

And... since your Australian, if you cash they withhold 30% of your prize money.

Poor Baby, maybe they could bring it to the Rio in small unmarked bills? How does a churl like this win a ME seat?
