Anyone else miss consecutive day bonus points?

  When I logged in yesterday to play I did not get the Daily Bonus for consecutive days played. The issue it seems was because of the Time Change, I ended play at about 4:15 pm PST (which would have been 5:15 pm PDT) when I clicked on Main Menu I saw the RED X switch to a 1 on the consecutive days and the timer reset to over 24 hours.

   The game client screen shows that I have played today but in fact I quit play at 4:15pm PST yesterday, I only logged In today to verify the error.

  I have contacted members@wgt.com and am waiting for a response

  I think it was because of the time change.

  Why not read the FAQs? =>
  or hover over the big green question mark next to the CDP timer?
  (or pay attention to the timer itself?)

  => CDP time is in GMT = UTC = Zulu time.

  And, when talking about "rest of the world", you only seem to have the USA in mind. There are plenty models for Daylight Saving Time all over the world. Europe, for example, has changed back to "normal" a week ago.

  Last but not least: A break here may be an opportunity to think about the impact of this "CDP bonus" thing. Is it worth the grind, the hassle?

  Don't blame WGT lmao!   Use the damn reminder in the game client for your time left to COMPLETE a game/hole before the next day starts.

  It really is that simple.

  That's 15 minutes into today. "Yesterday" ended at 4 PM PST, just like today will end at 4PM (7PM for me.)  :-)

  You know, you are both correct.  Stupid of me to reference dst...which I find ridiculous anyway.  Other people across the world should not have to adjust their times to match daylight savings.   That being said, I do not understand why my choice of country club, nfl team or the number of posts I have made on this site should be brought up.  Why the anger?  Wgt has kicked me out of so many tournaments and I don't feel the rampant loyalty you do.  The game is a blast when it is working.

  I just don't understand how mocking me helps disprove my post.  I was wrong to complain about it, I admit.  But how many of your thousands of posts do you attack other members?
