Loan from Pokerstars?

I recently have run my BR on pokerstars pretty low so I'm holding off on playing cash games. So I thought I would use my FPPs to play the 10 FPP MTT they run. Anyways, I played a few and I wanted to play one more but was a few points short.

So I sent them this email..

I was wondering If you could send me 4 FPPs, I'm that many short to play in a 10 FPP MTT. I have 6 points right now and I would like to play in the tourney tonight.

It would make me very happy If you guys could do this for me.

Thanks a lot,

I get a response under an hour later....

Hello Brian,

Thank you for your email.

As per your request I have credited 4 fpp to your account. Please
understand that these FPP are considered a loan and when you accrue more
FPP we expect you to write to us and repay this credit.

If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to ask and I
wish you the best of luck at the tables.

Regards,

TomB

So it makes me wonder, can you get a money loan from them? I've heard of people losing their account because they "owe" Pokerstars.

Anyone heard of something like this?

I doubt very seriously they would loan money. FPP's are a bit different. If somebody owes them money it is likely to involve a deposit that never went through.

Try and repay the 4 fpp's asap. Once you have done so, leave it for about a week and then move onto phase 2.
Phase 2 would involve asking them for a loan of say, $400.

Seriously though, I'm kinda surprised you would ask them for such a loan, that said, it was very good of them to actually fulfill your request.

I wonder if they charge interest on FPP loans. Like you borrowed 4 and need to repay 5 or something. LOL

I would send them an email back saying that their request has been sent on to the department that handles such requests and they will get to it asap.

Nope. They write it off as a toxic debt asset and apply to the US Gov't for an FPP Bailout !!! ...

Very nice indeed. I'd repay Stars once you get enough FPPs though - that's good karma, and we can all use some of that on tables from time to time, right?

"Hello, I am currently 999,999 points away from Supernova Elite status. Could you please loan me the points so I can purchase 1,000 of the PokerStars Monkey's plush toys...."
