no it is a seat to a curcuit event with a 1500 $ buy in i should think

No, the WSOP isn't just the Main Event $10,000 buyin, there's like 50+ events all with many different buyin levels, so there is obviously a $2500 buyin tourney as well. That's probably the seat they are giving away at that site.

I didn't know where to ask this. But it seems to be related to this posting for you are talking about seating in WSOP tourney. Here's what I found http://www.cardfusion.com/cardinfopages/infopage63873.php . Supposedly this is an offer from Bank of America, but there's no information about this card on their site. It let’s cardholders to use their cash back bonus points for buy-ins on WSOP. Any ideas? Any details on how to use that?

considering most cash back things are between 1-4% youll have to spend like 200k to get a main event package.

Well, you only get 1 point for every $1 you spend. So you'd have to spend $999,000 to get a main event entry, but only $3500 for a T-shirt. LOLOLOLOL.

I'm guessing this is a typo? Otherwise main event pricing has really gone up quite a bit.

No, it's correct.. You earn 1 point for every $1 you spend, AKA charge to the card and pay off. But they charge about 100 points for every $1 in value of the prize. Example: You need to redeem 5000 points for a $50 gift card. So, in essence, it is 1% earning.

Aha. That's the part that was missing.

That whole 100 to 1 thing was the difference.

Well, at least something

So, you can actually get cashback and then go and buy whatever you want or get a gift card, not just WSOP stuff. Are there any discounts for using that card at WSOP's site?
