Harrah’s launches WSOP credit card

[Talking Poker]

Assuming one point earned per dollar spent, this is a reasonable offer, but not a "good" one. Financially, you'd be better off going with the AMEX rewards (where you can get all sorts of stuff at a better value than this) or most gas company credit cards for that matter (everyone buys gas anyway).

Of course, these rewards are way COOLER - that's worth something.

It's interesting to say the least.

If they gave you points for balance transfers, I could stake the whole fucking website!!!!!!!

From Harrah's customer support ...

thank you for your interest in the world series of poker and the official world series of Poker credit card.

Every dollar you spend on the card earns you one rewards point which can be redeemed for WSOP merchandise, buy-ins to WSOP circuit events or the main event in Las Vegas, and now even special tutorial/playing sessions against pros like Chris Moneymaker and Johnny Chan.

The rewards start at 2,500 points for merchandise and go up from there. The Moneymaker seminar is 80,000 points. For specific information on redemption options, contact MBNA - 800-932-2775.

Personally, I can't imagine choosing the Moneymaker seminar for 80k when I could get into a 1k bracelet event for 126, but there you have it.

Again, assuming you earn one point per dollar spent, I don't think these rewards are in line with most other credit cards... most of them translate to 1 cent per point and this is less.

Hmm... Chan or Moneymaker, thats a tough decision.

PS: Is the Chan session the same # of pts as Moneymaker?

PSPS: I think this might be both Moneymaker and Chan, if it is one or the other, def. would pick Chan.

Just did the math... would take me about 3 years to clear that. Think I'll just stick to my Delta AmEx card and get some free flights.
