Harrah’s launches WSOP credit card

[Talking Poker]

Looks to me like they may have rolled this out a bit prematurely. I like the idea - a lot - but they need to make the fine print available before I'm signing up... that's for sure.

It does specifically mention "buy-ins" as potential rewards though.

Where did you hear about this?

I clicked on a banner ad to get to the page, and the card is also listed on , which says it will be redeemable for buy-ins.

But Tp, you are right about rolling this out a little early. Two different MBNA employees provided zero additional info. Finally, I asked to speak to a manager, and the rep put me on hold and then told me the manager suggested I call "hurrah's" for all the details.

We'll see. I’d be great if charging my groceries, etc. all could get me a seat at a WSOP event. If it does turn out to be a good deal, they'll probably have a refer-a-friend bonus as well ...

I would imagine you would need at the very least, $1 Million in purchases to get the $10,000 buy-in.... Come to think of it, I would say you would need at least $1 Million in purchases to get a $1,000 buy-in.

Might be worth a look though.
Although I am sure with my luck, this will NOT be available in Canada.

Found it....




That's a few free entrys over a lifetime if you planned your spending correctly.
Wow!

A few? I don't think I'll charge $3 million worth of shit to a credit card in this lifetime and the next combined.

Maybe a couple of the $500 buy-in tourneys though.

You'd be surprised what you can charge to a CC and as long as you pay it off, are not charged interest on.

Although, I just did a quick estimate and would like to change " a few" to "one".

[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!!!!!!!
