WGTpizza: I will say that, from my experience at WGT, the gift cards were not a "hot item".
If they were not a "hot" item as you say, why remove them? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to keep them there.
Imagine my frustration after years of playing and a few thousand off purchasing a gift card and they've suddenly disappeared! If they are not hot, WHY REMOVE THEM. No one cares about avatars, phone calls, but people do care about gift cards
BolloxInBruges: Not to toot my own horn, but i've probably made around 2 million credits in the last 3 years. Gotten 6 or 7 amex cards, mostly the 300k credit ones, and gifted away a lot of credits before i got stingy with them :) So it is possible, although more difficult as there is a deeper pool of very skilled players now vs 2010.
I bet you enjoyed purchasing gift cards,a sense of reward for your skill, but how do you feel about accumelating credits now there is nothing to spend them on??
(still here, but only to read this post...LOL...\due to extremely lucky financial circumstances i can go to St Andrews for real so when you land in the burn on #1 say hello to me and help me find my real ball!!)
