I would like to thank LC for not getting me the r11 irons. Had so much fun spend over a month and asking someone in my family for help in getting it. Thanks for the change of heart. Last time I ask anything from anyone on this site as for help in getting any equipment. That means for future equipment. Oh, and he was the one that says not all tour masters and legends have chips on their shoulders, because I am one of the tour masters now. I don't tell others how to play the game in alternate shot either. I play to have fun like some. I did not say all, but he sure did act like one of them.

Icon, do you guys tool around in the Maserati sometimes while waiting for someone to buy it? Or have you moved several of those items off the lot already?

I think the gift cards are great value! But I'm worried WGT are short changing themselves by offering a $200 gift card for $1500 in credits. Please WGT make sure you are making enough profit out of the deal. Also could you put the car on order for me for delivery around May 2065? I'll only have to play about 18 hours a day till then and the car's mine.

Glad to see the Maserati is still available (price unchanged at $700,000), and you can still go back in time and get a VIP pass to see Rory win the US Open at Congressional in 2011 all over again. $100,000 seems like a bargain for time travel!

Especially as you can make your money back through some carefully placed bets,

I've spent over a year and a half accumelating credits and looking forward to being able to get something back for the countless hours and $$ spent on this site and just as I'm 20,000 short of receiving a gift card WGT decide to take them away.

Now this is the true colours of what this site is becoming. Dangling the carrot in front of us in the form of a gift card and when a lot of us are getting to the stage of being able t o obtain them they are going to be obsolete!!!! Thats a proper pi55take. We all thought there was a chance of obtaining something back from being loyal customers and BANG, they get taken away, Now that more and more players are getting skillfull enough to receive them where as before I'm sure there was only a handull who could obtain them, That is totally unfair and has in one scoop going to take away the incentive of carrying on playing this game. What the heck is the point obtaining credits from now on. Its shows what direction WGT have taken, GREED GREED and even more greed. entice us in with all these promises of gift cards, and now we are all close, "SORRY, nothing for you here anymore" go and spend all $1650 worth of credits on boost bars or new clubs, or even gift them to newbies. As Jake mentioned, the exchange rate on gift cards are way over the top any way, $1650 for $250, so why not keep them. It REWARDS the loayl players, but now every one will get a slap in the face instead. You cant carry on treating customers in this way or i doubt any of the "elite" players will continue playing. It will be a total disgrace if the gift cards get taken away, now that would be "robbery". We;ve been collecting credits thinking we can spend them on gift cards and they're going to disappear----- FALSE ADVERTISING or what???

(sorry, but this has proper pi55ed me off)

Chris, how could you ever expect a "get something back"?

For that purpose, you'd better join a betting site / poker site (though I'd expect VEM there, too)...

Look at the Maserati (700.000 $ net price), the golf club sets (short of 9.000 $ net), the Kiawah holidays (35.000 $ net). For the latter price, I'd easily travel the top 10 available golf courses in the world and play them all!

None of those top players who eventually gain money's worth here should calculate their wage per hour :)

And, don't forget the rake, taking 20% from most of the winnings here. 10 turnarounds of the credits diminuish them by 90%, rising the costs of your gift card to 16.000 $.

This site is not designed to give away any money but rather for collection. They want our best, for themselves. Born as a child of post-war Wirtschaftswunder, I'm not saying this is bad, but I take it as a fact.

Hint: If you desire a gift card, you better buy one directly.
