No more walmart or target, amazon is the only good gift card left

playersonly69 · 08-01-13, 10:19 PM

Well the AMAZON gift cards are just like cash! As long as they still have amazon, that is all that they need besides maybe Walmart

This sucks.

That was pretty much all I bought.

ChalkyDog · 08-01-13, 10:23 PM

How long they going to keep this going? Also what is the minimum deposit?

My Pro membership is coming up I'm pretty sure. If I can gamble with the money I used to become a Pro, I'm all for it. Otherwise, ill be joining team broke dikk.

If they get rid of Amazon, turn out the lights.

playersonly69 · 08-01-13, 10:26 PM

I agree with the amazon cards. If they didn't offer amazon cards, then I wouldn't be making a deposit tomorrow. I think that the minimum deposit is $400 to renew via draftkings

You've got enough points to renew without making a deposit.

Yep. All I'm really interested in.

GUMMO77 · 08-01-13, 10:39 PM

Is it still 3k pts to renew?

playersonly69 · 08-01-13, 10:40 PM

Yes it is still 3000!

I am surprised, I really though that would rise to 5000 to be honest

Yeah, I get that, but then the points are just gone for no reason. ~$100 in Amazon gift cards.

If I post up, I can gamble with the same money I used to turn pro. Wouldn't be PRO if I wasn't able to do it at 5dimes originally.

I just presumed these kind of options were dead, and figured i'd just let my membership run.

Thanks for the info, PO69.

Sportsbook option gone for Canadians?

Yep. I just renewed last month with points.

Does anyone know if the Wal-Mart cards are gone forever, or it's just a glitch?

I was enjoying not paying for groceries.

5mike5 · 08-01-13, 11:15 PM

Pro is now useless if the giftcards are really gone.

Why would any1 join?

I recommend everyone to email them with some ideas in the store. There is not much left here at all. I would advise them to put some new computers, gift cards from different retailers, other things that people would want here to stay a pro. I had no idea they got rid of Target and Wal Mart cards but now there isn't much left at all. Let's all collectively say what would not cost them too much and would be an idea here to get something nice.

Selling pizza cards to cardpool for Amazon money still best value per point.

jjgold · 08-02-13, 05:42 AM

Guys I think for us USA guys legal issues with cards?

Good find PlayersOnly

5mike5 · 08-02-13, 06:08 AM

u would have to be a total moron to pay for a Pro membership here from now on without cards...guess they think beerr mugs and T-shirts are worth something

...guess they think BTP will save them for another whole year...too bad the pts arent worth dikk anymore so who cares about that either

i wouldnt hold my breath for any response either

#notworthshit

Mr KLC · 08-02-13, 06:10 AM

Wow! I didn't notice that all the gift cards had disappeared. Pizza prices even went up again. Looks to me that too many people were winning big in the store, and SBR had to cut some overhead.

I hope they put some new merchandise in the store which is badly needed now since gift cards for the most part are gone.

Walmart was the best gift card because you can use it for gas

Players do you work for SBR?

Ummm with out gift cards it should be lowered to 1k.....I have always supported SBR pts and turning pro after I learned it was a plus money option Im not seeing that now......If its just for pizza cards it will make you eat poorly .....a lot of members will drop with no gift cards you need to come up with a new plan

I agree with you totally. There sure is a lot of fewer things you can purchase now and that isn't a good thing here. I think they need to consider adding some new items.

Maybe one of the mods can explain why you are taking the sportsbook option away from non US members?
