played micro mtts all week and bonus only counted buy ins not rebuys.

Just noticed something weird with the bonus this week. I spent way too much time grinding those micro MTTs thinking every cent would count toward my bonus but apparently only the original buy in gets tallied up. Rebuys and add-ons, which I hit way more than I meant to, didn’t even move the needle on my bonus progress. Thought maybe the T&C had something sneaky but I’m not seeing anything clear about excluding rebuys.

Maybe it’s my own fault for not double checking, but man it stings. I usually like mixing it up between cash tables and tournaments, so I’ve never watched the fine print super close on these promos. Anyone else run into this with tourney bonuses? Am I missing something or is it standard now for bonuses to ignore the rebuy part? Just trying to figure out if I need to rethink my MTT approach or just focus cash for promo chasing. How are you guys handling this?

The terms should make that distinction really obvious before people start grinding the promo.

"really obvious" lol yeah, like a tiny * excludes rebuys line. My last $3.30 rebuy week counted exactly zero 😴

Yeah, poker bonus tracking loves that scammy little distinction lol. If rebuys don't count I just treat MTTs as dead for promos, cash only.
