Pokerstars has announced its policy for US players that have FPPs and VIP status rewards due to them. American Players have had their VIP status returned to them so that they can use their FPPs to purchase Reward bonuses in the Pokerstars store. Players cannot have merchandise shipped to them from the store, so no physical items may be purchased. They may also use FPPs to purchase any unclaimed Stellar Rewards or Milestone Rewards. Any pending store purchases were canceled. Players with advanced VIP status have until May 31st 2011 to make their purchases.
Pokerstars has credited players with partial VIP Stellar Rewards for players calculated to have earned $10 or more in progress to their next stellar reward. Players with more than 100,000 VPPs have been credited with partial progress to their next Milestone Cash Credit. Players moving outside of the US will have to contact Pokerstars to receive the rest of their Milestone Cash Credit if they earn it after moving. The full details on these payouts are available in their FAQ. This is basically the final step in Pokerstars settling up with US Players after Black Friday, and they should be commended for doing so in less than one month.
