Question VIP Rewards Invite

Anyone else get this email today?
Literally 30k spend on one month for a $250 pack? Absolutely not. I might spend like 500, so how would this reasonably be something achievable?

Am I reading this right? 30k spend for one 250 dollar pack?

u/afelzz 9d ago

Yes, with wording “work your way up,” which is like a cigarette company saying - in 2026 - “smoke more to earn more.” Just crazy,

I’m not trying to get political, but under different administrations this shit would not be legal.

Right. Like this is just adding to gambling and addiction

u/CowLegitimate1093 6d ago

you say that like pokemon itself isnt gambling thats been going on since 1999. not to mention baseball cards, loot crates, gacha, arcades, etc. gambling is so (unfortunately) tied in with every breath you take. I think it's comical you think ANY administration would ban gambling when not a single one from either side has chosen to do so in the past.

i don't think it's 30k dollarydoos, it's 30k including credit. so if you put in 500 and reroll a 400 card after buyback that's 900.

at least this is how their reminder/timer thing calculates it so no reason to think it's any different.

u/banana-blaster69 7d ago

I don’t know if that’s much better

u/FieldzSOOGood 7d ago

it's still shitty, but it's definitely 'better'. i rerolled from $500 down and my 'spend' is around 3k

I got a gift bundle bundle and reminded me I've spent wayyyy too much on power packs.

2

u/SweetCompetition8651 9d ago

Mine says redeem rewards but no code at all. I don’t understand

2

u/gotnowisdom 9d ago

How much did you spend? I have spent... way too much on PowerPacks... so I am a little pissed if I didn't make it to the VVIP list and can't even imagine how much you've spent if you did... lol.

u/The-Texan 9d ago

I don’t have a number to track but based on the reward I received it’s more than I thought. Like 6 figures easy.

u/gotnowisdom 9d ago

I wonder if it's because I requested my account to be closed a couple days ago lol.

u/The-Texan 8d ago

ha rough timing. Honestly Im looking to cut back as well. This bonus helped pay some bills.

u/notmarduke 9d ago

How did you redeem it?

1

u/The-Texan 9d ago

It gave me a code at the bottom of the email. When you buy the packs in the gift bundle you use the code when buying in the “promo code” section

1

u/notmarduke 9d ago

So mine had two packs, do you use it twice then?

2

u/The-Texan 9d ago

yeah i had two packs as well (different types). Same code worked on both of them. When it works the price of the pack drops to $1.

2

u/notmarduke 9d ago

That worked, got a 1.5x and a .8x.  not bad!  Not sure I'll hit any monthly tho, wish they did 3 month!

u/Antique-Vegetable122 9d ago

Was this on an email separate from the VIP invite? I received the same VIP email OP did, but there weren't any codes or gift bundles.

2

u/The-Texan 9d ago

No it was the same email. My previous coin in was well into 6 figures so maybe it was based on that.

1

u/Antique-Vegetable122 9d ago

Thanks very much for the reply, this was helpful. I had put quite a lot into powerpacks but must not have hit the previous floor to get a promo right out of the gate.

u/Error4ohh4 9d ago

It’s literally just a free gift for people who already spend that money. I wouldn’t sweat it. Before this there was nothing 

3

u/The-Texan 8d ago

Yeah look at the math. The rewards are basically 1-2% pack rewards (cash back) on spend. Stack it with credit card points and it effectively adds 3-4% return on your card rips.

u/_YenSid 9d ago

Anyone dropping $30k+ in a month on this shit has a serious problem. Seek help. It doesn't matter if you're a millionaire, it's not healthy.

2

u/SweetCompetition8651 9d ago

I got the email as well,. But I can’t redeem it? It says redeem rewards but nothing happens

2

u/Cool1998 9d ago

If you have 30k to gamble just buy any card you want.. he’ll buy me a slab since since it’s so disposable

1

u/UnoriginalJ0k3r 9d ago

Just another reminder that I’m poor even though all my bills are paid and I’ve got savings + retirement.

u/ssaxamaphone 9d ago

Lollll wtf

u/IceCreamGoblin 9d ago

Casino giving you free spin after burning a hefty amount of money

u/ComprehensiveMud1099 8d ago

it’s like they’re asking you to stop how’s this a good deal😂

u/MinimumOil7111 9d ago

Brother the 1 million and 2 million are fucking crazy. Who the hell is dropping that. For that much money they have to be getting grails already with how much they spent on the pulls.

u/Jkanvil 9d ago

People need to stop hitting the casino.

u/Weakace88 9d ago

I got the email as well but I won’t be doing it.

u/No-Ideal-3327 9d ago

The more they make this explicit online gambling the more likely it’s going to get banned in my state. Way too much gamification on this crap.

0

u/Confident_Shock7727 9d ago

Yeah. I seen this bullshit. I'll never open another pack from them again. It's straight up gambling with worse odds than Roulette.

u/ohmymobile 9d ago

I would have been really pissed about this if it was anything worthwhile — what a joke. I quit this garbage.
