I have an idea. Print out the PokerStars Logo. Cut it out. Lay it on the Black Card. Use a metal cutter and cut along the Stars Logo. Use metal paint and apply the original Stars colors an logo. Paint eff u on the artwork.

Post photo, then return to sender.

I feel like if someone were to present this card at a live tourney, everyone would think you were a complete asswipe.

Fwiw, I got a survey for the BC program yesterday and there were a few questions regarding live events and also meeting other BC members in person, like some kind of special social event. Atm, the card seems useless and a ridiculous waste of $$ on FT's part, but maybe it will have some sort of use in the future.

Anyone that is a BC member WITHOUT rakeback get the FTP Cashbook promotion? I can't find one player that is BC w/o rakeback that got it, and plenty of BC members that DID NOT get it. You would think we would be the first to get such a promotion. Some "VIP" status/support/rewards.

Get rid of iron man altogether, it can get quite cluttered.

Increase rakeback to %33, allow those that don't have rakeback, to simply get it.

Remove MGR hits from store (Why get FTP points for paying rake then have to pay more for using the points later

)

Put cash bonuses in store that are available even to non-blackcard members

I am relatively uninformed btw, and this is my wishful thinking.

on that note i did some math and was wondering if i got my facts right. if you earn rakeback you can spend your points, but every point you spend is worth $0.005 of deductions from your rakeback.

the $5000 bonus is 1.1m points and by my estimation that $5000 bonus would cost your give or take nothing $5500? a $50 bonus costs you $75?

do they take deductions for spending your iron man medals or receiving those bonus's?

ty in advance

Take 27% of that #
Bonus costs you 27% of the value of the bonus
The Bonus is worth 73% of it's "real" value
eg. $1000 Bonus= $730 after RB hit

The way you play Mr Kemp your contribited RB % is approximately equal to 21% Dealt
Much better than SNE

I just got my Black Card today. I had to pay fedex 15€ for it. Payed it, because I thought that in the package there were some products that I ordered from FT few months back (seriously I ordered it on July 23). I open the package and there is a freaking black card inside. Yes its black and its a card and I payed 15€ for it. What is my play here (of course I will bitch support about it and I dont play anymore on FullTilt after the rakeback changes so this is maybe how they punish me? ) ?

FullTilt <3

"I'm contacting you to inform you that we have credited your account with $20.48 UDS as a reimburse for the fees charged by Fed Ex to receive the Black Card (Live rates at 2010.11.11 20:37:00 UTC 15.00 EUR = 20.4815 USD)."

At least blackcard support kicks ass, they were insanely fast with every response. I still have hope for Full Tilt

If they charged me for that pos I would have told ups to return to sender. Props to tilt though, just when I thought they were done screwing their players w the black card program they found another way to bend em over.

Maybe they calculated that if they put a delay on the order. Not only will the money they hold earn interest during the time but the prices of the ipods etc will lower.
