VIP Changes for PokerStars
VIP program changes:

SilverStar VIP level will be lowered to 1,200 VPPs a month.
GoldStar VIP level will be lowered to 3,000 VPPs a month.
PlatinumStar VIP level will be lowered to 7,500 VPPs a month.

Supernova and Supernova Elite players will be able to retain their status
the following year until end of September provided they meet the current
play requirements. This will start now for the 2008 SN and SNEs.

Milestone bonuses will become cash credits. This means once a player hits
200,000 VPPs for 2009 he will be able to obtain a $2,000 cash credit for
50,000 FPPs, without a need to earn further 10,000 VPPs. That is not fully
automated yet, but we plan to enable players to buy these bonuses directly
from the VIP Store, so there won't be a need to wait for processing of the
bonuses as we have it now.

The $50,000 VIP weekly event will become a $75,000 event with 12 minute
blinds.

The $20,000 VIP weekly event will become a $30,000 weekly event.

Concierge will change slightly. Changes include a player may only use the
service once a month with a max of three receipts. We will have clear
rules for what may be submitted on the website by end of February.

All of the above changes will take place starting March 1st, 2009.

    I usually try to get Silverstar but I think I am going to push on for Goldstar now. I made Gold on FTP in Jan but the benefits are pretty much worthless so I think more of my play is going to go to Stars.

    Platinum is reachable now!

    What was it?

    Used to be 1500 for Silver, 4000 for Gold, and 10000 for Platinum.

    LOL I didnt play any poker all month in Feb until the 27th when I was like 'Hey i'll grind out for Platinum star in 2 days'. 25K hands and 15 hrs later I got my 10K VPP's just to find out now that they changed the rules on me to 7.5K VPP's now. Nice. =*(

    been sitting on Silver for a couple months.....Gold should be attainable now. If all goes well, Platinum by the end of the year (or back to bronze).

    I had to bust it the last few days of the month to make Goldstar again, this will make it much easier. My goal is still Supernova, though.
    Doesn't say, but is supernova still 100k?

    Yeah no kidding. I 8 tabled 3/6 limit Sat night and then was like damn I missed it by less than a hundred points. Then after midnight I checked and it said I was still Silverstar WTF? so I searched around and found the info above.

    Yeah..no changes to Supernova and SNE. This does increases the value of the FPP a tad though.
