FUNPASS - THE BIG COIN RIP-OFF

GameHouse Forums > The Lounge

Hey FunPass members, when you go to redeem your coins you cannot get Amazon gift cards (they're out of stock) I checked Amazon has alot of gift cards and you can't purchase Platinum games with them. Someone please tell me exactly what good these coins are or for that matter the FunPass itself with all the junky games they have been throwing out there.

I'm not a FunPass Member but I think there might be something similar going on with the FunTickets memberships, not the coins, but the Free Game of the Day. I just got my membership and can't figure out how to register the Free Game of the Day to make the limited time go away? Is this a rip-off too?

If the gift cards are out of stock when you look, check back in a day or so, or contact GH. They usually get them again soon.

Oh, never mind. I see it's a Mirkar post. Every single post she makes is a complaint, 100% complaints. Batting 1000. Merry Christmas.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Suki. I didn't mean to exclude you!!! The reason you don't win in the complaint category is threefold. 1) You also make non-complaint posts. 2) Your complaints are constructive. 3) Your purpose seems to be to help improve GH service rather than just to simply badmouth the company. (I realize #2 and #3 kind of go together.) I guess I could add #4) You don't seem like an advertisement for a competing game company. And perhaps #5) YOUR INFORMATION SEEMS TO BE ACKRATE (accurate) !!!!!!!!!!!!

Rest assured, I have taken note that you are unhappy with not getting to be one of the biggest whiners on the board, in my opinion, and I'll try to better police your future posts. If I see you moving up toward being the number one pain in the , I'll let you know. Make your day, ya know.

@ yusef & SilverSuki
YOUR INFORMATION SEEMS TO BE ACKRATE (accurate) !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hilarious posts; thanks for the laughs!

I've been playing Pickers (bought from coins awarded in the obviously NOT a 'Big Coin Rip-off' scheme) for hours & needed a laugh as, thus far, I'm not proving to be the most successful 'Antiques Shop Owner' in the world!

BeHappy asked about the Free Game of the Day... since I'm a FunPasser, I don't download those, but the advertising does not go away ever, does it?

I have used some of my coins to purchase several games from GH. I do see that the Amazon gift cards are occasionally unavailable but in a day or two they're back. So far I am very pleased with the service on GH and the rewards program appears to be working just fine. Platinum games are issued by the publishers to make money so if you want all the bells and whistles it's reasonable to expect to have to pay for them. Most of the games on GH are well worth the room they take up and far outweigh the "junky" games that I've played. I've found it very helpful to actually look at games that reviewers have recommended and found some jewels among them some of which I've used my coins to purchase.
