Be an Exclusive Black Card Member
Posted by usonlinepoker on Tuesday, October 5, 2010
The Full Tilt Poker download brought the Black Card as a special thanks to players that put in many hours of poker. Essentially, it is a collection of perks given to high volume players. Such extras include double Full Tilt Points, personalized customer service, and an exclusive Black Card store. Those accepted into this club will receive a Black Card in the mail.
It takes a lot of hours on your Full Tilt Poker download to get into the Black Card club. To get into the club, players must earn an average of 500 Full Tilt Points over 100 days. Another way to look at it is 50k Full Tilt Points over 100 days. This is very difficult for microstakes players. For those playing slightly higher, there is a hidden benefit in this requirement: the Full Tilt Poker download does not make their players wait a year to receive their rewards.
The most important store item for players on money poker sites is usually cash bonuses. The Black Card store has bonuses between $50 and $2,000 for sale, and each bonus is available after paying a set number of Full Tilt Points. Note that the cash is not immediately deposited into the real money account. The site requires players to clear the bonus at a rate of $0.04 per Full Tilt Point earned. Earning a bonus with a PokerStars bonus code is done in exactly the same way. Players will have a total of 90 days to clear the bonus.
As mentioned, Black Card members also receive double the Full Tilt Points at all tables and personalized customer support. Double Full Tilt Points are available at all tables, including Happy Hour tables. During Happy Hour, you will earn so many points that you won’t want to play on any of the other top Texas Hold'em sites! As for personalized customer service, members all receive a personalized welcome email and Black Card. Be sure to hang on to your Black Card because it has the email address of your personal customer support rep. I haven’t heard of any of the other US friendly poker sites giving their players dedicated support members.
It seems to me that Full Tilt introduced this promotion to compete with Supernova, which is found on a PokerStars download. The best feature of the Black Card status is that you can earn it in a matter of 3 months. The quest for Supernova takes most players an entire year to accomplish. It’s still a new promo, though, so we’ll see how it all pans out in the end.
