The Elite Benefits program at Americas Cardroom is a clear, exciting, and beneficial rewards program with cash, tournament, and live play holdem prizes to be claimed.
Unlike in Americas Army, making lieutenant at Americas Cardroom is easy. Climbing from Lieutenant to 5-Star General is hard, but well worth it with Americas Cardroom Elite.
On line poker sites virtually all have reward programs. They are often confusing, generally bland, and nearly always not really that worth while. Americas Cardroom isn’t like most on line poker sites however, and as such their elite reward program is clear, interesting, and most importantly worth while!
Getting started with Elite Benefits couldn’t be simpler. As soon as you play in a real money tournament or on a real money cash game you will automatically make the rank of Lieutenant; where you go from there depends entirely on your performance. From the moment you join you will earn Rank Points and Combat Points. The Rank Points determine what rank you make in the Elite Benefits system, the Combat Points are points that count as currency to be used in Americas Cardroom on line store. Remember, Americas Cardroom uses the dealt rake method for calculating all its points, which means that you earn points according to what you pay in tournament fees not according to how you do in the tournament. As you climb up the ranks you will earn more combat points for each Rank Point you earn. So for example as a Lieutenant you will earn 1 combat point for every rank point, but as a 5-Star General you would earn 5 Combat Points for every Rank Point earned.
The benefit of climbing up through the ranks is the rewards offered to each rank. The higher ranking you are the more combat points you will earn. Combat points can be used in the on line store, can be used to play holdem in live events, can be swapped for entry to cash tournaments, and can even be exchanged for cash bonuses. As you climb the ranks you will earn Medals of Achievement and for some even Levels of Distinction. Only the 5-Star General gets all the Elite Benefits, which include special store access, a package to play holdem live in the LSOP Peru and in Punta Cana, and loads more. To make 5-Star General you need to earn 200,000 over a year.
