I did not receive that email. Looks like your card is just expiring and isn't the same thing as everyone's cards being GG (hoping this at least)

I received the same email, was hoping it is because I didn't activate the new card yet, just got it a few days ago.

Anyhow, I activated it today and also sent them an email, so hopefully all is well.

Also a few days ago there was a notice when I logged in saying they were not going to be facilitating any more deposits or wire transfers in US dollars.

Can you guys post apartment complexes that poker players are living in? I don't really want to us Poker Refugees but I also want to make sure I live in a different place.

Just wondering if anyone's moved from the uk and if they could give me any advice on making the transition? Seems like the most difficult part will be becoming a resident and sorting that with stars and other sites.
Cheers

I second that. Ensenada is far enough "south" where English speakers are less common. So Spanish is really essential to visit/live there.

Having said that, once you're there its a fantastic city. It's super easy to navigate, really good food and close to wine country (if that's your thing - it's mine, so Ensenada works out great for me).

Ensenada isn't really known for high-rises and condo complexes (at least not yet). I think that you would have a hard time finding these type of full-service buildings that come with Internet and all that. Most of the rentals out here are individual homes/apartments from independent landlords. If you are limited by Spanish and really want a condo, then Ensenada might not be the best choice.

Its not all that difficult. Granted, I switched my account a year ago, so thing might have changed, but I thought it was easy. You just need to send them a utility bill with your name on it. I think they might also accept the bill you get after you've scheduled an install of your phone/internet and thats something you can get relatively quickly after arriving in Mexico.

Cheers bud, appreciate it. Flying out January, hopefully it should be a smooth transition.

I think you'll be fine. Remember, at the end of the day, Stars always needs new deposits. They're in the business of saying, "yes" more than, "no" so I think you have reasons to be optimistic.

Any good parties/events going on for NYE? Would prefer to find something in Ensenada but willing to go to Rosarito too. Somewhere that is intended for couples would be great since I want to take my girl with me. Any nice parties going on that weekend?

The IFE is the national voting registration card. So unless you're a citizen of Mexico, I don't recommend that one . . .
