    i may have missed the point of this of the op but the way i see it is you get money for earning at least 500 points in a month.

    i entered points into the bit that says redeem promotional code and as far as im aware i will be getting at least £5.00 back at the end of the month as ive earned over 500 points.

    also by earning at least £5.00 in a month you could then use that money to enter a tournement or at least pay for most of a buy in?

    apologies if this isnt the point you are making.

    have to to be honest here not really thought about points cuz i,ve bin doin well and winning abit and think sky shud get there cut . dont know what its worth but i,ve got 20k points never really botherd bout f/rs and not really thought about it so long that i keep putting abit in me bank to pay for for me mortgage and wot not.but if you,ve got a large amount of points i spose its worth quite abit.dont know the ins and outs of this sort of thing and just keep going but if you,ve got alot of points i suppose its woth fighting for good luck in your quest benny

    I might have a chance if they decide on this - given that I have played on this site for 7 days a week for 2.5 years!

    Motion proposed!

    If  you missed  the  point why  bother making a comment ???.. read  it again and then you might understand  .. Alot of players have a  lot  of points in their account that  SKYPOKER wont  refund to the players..
     
    So  your wrong to say  we get them each month  thats what you get for what  you have played in that  month :

    What's Sky_Rich gonna say anyway? He's hardly responsible for Sky's marketing! Sky_mod2 has already said it's been passed on to the relevant dept for review.

    Yes  your right       but  I got this  BEE  in my bonnet  about this having been posted by BigShann and  others over the last  6 months and still has not been  resolved or  a proper response from  Skypoker   other  than "Were looking into  the matter" or words to that effect !! 

    Be lucky "hope this helps"    :))

    after i spent allot of my time reading and posting on the forum (what can i do with my points, community suggestions) i realised i was pisin in the wind so i sent sky a email, i put up a copy of the reply on the same thread 22/12/09. i like benny am not happy about this at all, i am very suprised that more of the regs and the guys who have been with skypoker from the early days (who have the bulk of the points) have not spoken out.  maybe if these guys spoke out then just maybe we can see a result.

    but skys promotion means you have to earn a certain amount in a month.

    so if you dont get enough you dont get any money

    if you want the points to make you money you have to make sure you play enough to get 500 points min.

    if u get say 400 points every month after a year you will have 4800 points. like you say these are of no use.

    yes i agree those points are are waste but thats not skys promotion is it?

    its all about earning enough in a month.

    maybe sky should just wipe the slate clean at the end of the month then you wont have to worry about it

    Hi Benny,
    OK, I've just read through this entire thread (well almost...got quite bored towards the end tbh so skipped a few) and the problem is this. The phrase     "You can cash in your PLAYER POINTS" is misleading because they do it automatically at the end of each month. When you reach certain amounts they credit your account with cash BUT what they do not do is remove those points from your account details afterwards! So what you have under the heading Total Poker Points does not actually mean anything, apart from seeing how many points you have amassed during your time on the site. The only useable points are the ones you are aquiring during the CURRENT MONTH and those are the only points you can use to enter freeroles etc. All previous monthly points have had a "cash back" (if applicable) awarded to them. IMO Sky should just delete the "Total Poker Points" STATISTIC (as that is all it is) because it appears as though you have loads of points when in actual fact YOU DON'T!
    Well, that's the way I see it anyway! Sky Mods please correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks!
    Chris

    right ok, i have an answer from the marketing team....

    points are rewarded with 'Cash for Points' where (once customers have entered) we automatically ‘redeem’ them for cash.

    We also have lots of freerolls where customers can use their points (see the lobby)

    And don't forget the numerous other promotions which offer things for free (i.e. no points needed). For example – TKO Santa’s Sack etc

    hopefully this helps clear things up for you a little.

    all the best,

    Rich

    im with you dan!

    benny you are saying the add is missleading!

    i dont think it is click on the poker points bit on the homepage and it explains everything!

    i believe this thread has run its course. we have tried to politely explain the 'cash for points' marketing incentive and various other ongoing activities @ sky poker.

    we love to hear you ideas and suggestion so if you do have any, please email the marketing team direct at suggestions@skypoker.com

    thanks guys.
