  I lost 162n straight days of continuous and had to start over, which I sincerely believe is one facet of the wgt that I believe is rediculous and unfair to all golfers. I missed a day when I had to take my wife  to the emergency ward and was unable to play so this is the one glaring rule that should be dropped immediately. I think it is sheer stupidity by whoever concucted that rule and It has considerable made me less fascinated by the WGT

  Hi BigDaddy2727,

  Sorry to hear that your wife had to go to the emergency room, I hope all is well. For consecutive days played after the 7th day played, the 880 XP bonus is the max you would receive from then on. So if you played 8 days or 100 days, the XP bonus is the same. Unfortunately our CS dept doesn't have a tool/option to reset those days played.

  Sent you something to make up a bit of the difference between starting over and when you get to that 7th day played. Again hope your wife feels better soon.

  All the Best,
  WGTShamWow

  I know when my grandma died last summer and family flew in from all across the country for funeral arrangements, bereavement, etc. the only thing on my mind was "I need to get to a computer fast for my CDP bonus".

  Kudos to BigDaddy ! Dude, I never expected your weak play of the "dying relative" card to gain any traction whatsoever. (hey ShamWow, I screwed up 300+ days a while back. Perhaps a little retroactive salve is in order?) BigDaddy, you must have been busy, but there are 24 hours in a day and you are not a doctor.  ;-}

  That rule applies to everyone! The last time I lost my consecutive day bonus I was in the hospital under going kidney stone surgery in 2012. There was no option except to play on the web back in 2012. But now there are 2 other options,IOS mobile on an iphone or Ipad,or android mobile that can be played on a myriad of android devices. 

  And what did you really lose?  Just a few 100 XP's. You are back to 880 points a day in only 6 days. 

  I get my consecutive day bonus now playing a random 3 on my Iphone every night at work during lunch. So with those 2 added ways to play there is really no reason to lose your days or blame WGT for losing them.

  What do you expect? Commiseration?

  Tell you what, your wife has my compassion, wishing all the best for her health.

  You... NOT. You failed to comply with a rule, you take the consequence. Whining about it doesn't do any good to you.

  And what would happen if WGT would delete this bonus? You'd never have a chance to get another 162.

  Would you be happier?

  Wow.....   never though "whining"  would be so lucrative....        Sheeesh, I missed consecutive day play in December 2013 with a hospital stay and WGT gave me nothing.   guess Quadruple Coronary Bypass Graphing's not worth a sleeve........
