Yes you don't get the stuff but that doesn't mean tere wot be any giveaways in the future. I highly doubt this will be the only freebies they will offer. Maybe not a whole brick again but maybe something just as nice. I say this membership is still a great investment.

I mean, almost all memberships have an initial sign up perk and more often than not, they offer things to the first members of a new membership as a thank you for joining.

Just read a response on Bicycle's Facebook page that said as long as you sign for Club 808 up by Feb 18th (and live in the U.S. for guaranteed shipping by the end of the week) you will receive the Kit. I signed up on Feb 1 and have not received the kit yet, nor an email, but am hopeful to see it soon.

So did you sign up by the 18th? If not, maybe...

John B. · « **Reply #53 on:** February 21, 2013, 07:07:06 PM »

it was the 19th

I think I was to late.

For 1 day? I think the deadline was an incentive. You'll probably get the stuff.

You won't be getting it. I had sent a message on the morning of the 19th to Bicycle. I had a friend who wanted to join to get the Club Ambassador Kit, but they forgot about the deadline.

Anyway, Bicycle got back to me quickly.. and here's what they wrote
"Hi Jason - Unfortunately, our last day for shipping the kits was yesterday. However, stay tuned later this week for details about one last Play More Cards promo"

Sorry John

So, if you become a member right now!, you dont get the kit? or any of the past stuff (just the 808 deck) that they gave away??

Not that cool...

On a side note, maybe i should have asked ellusionist if new memebers of the black club get the past stuff that the other members got :/

Dude, the kit and the Club 808 deck are IT - what "past stuff" are you talking about?

Let me ask you something: if you got a ticket to see Oprah live today, and you asked if you could get all the neat things that previous audience members got, y'know, like, CARS and stuff...do you think I'd hear them laughing in Chicago from here in New York??

What makes so many people think they'd be eligible for giveaways RETROACTIVELY, before they were even members? For this club and for Artifice Black Club? If I buy a lottery ticket today that had last week's winning numbers on it, would I be eligible for last week's jackpot?!?!?

Is common sense that UNCOMMON these days?

Join NOW - you get what's coming up. You want what came BEFORE, go get Doc Brown's DeLorean and set the cruise control to 88 miles an hour...

I am not sure if I understand. Is it supposed every 808 club member will receive such a big package including those outside USA? For free?

That seems a bit hard to figure out. There are multiple posts confirming that we are and are not going to get them. I definitely haven't received anything, but it's sort of expected.

Has anyone outside of USA received a pack? Anyone outside North America?

Yes. As long as you signed up for the membership before (debatably) February 18-20 of this year.

This is what I received from an 808 rep

"Dear Nurul,
Thank you, once again for your Club 808 membership.
I am terribly sorry for the misinformation that I had conveyed to you regarding the Club 808 Play More Kit. Please accept my apology.
United States Playing Cards will be sending us these kits soon, and in turn we will be shipping your kit to you.
I hope you'll enjoy the free kit as a valued member of Club 808!
Best Regards,
Darren

Just got my 808 kit this week in a package from UPS at 7:00. The package is amazing, and I feel that this entire package is already worth the $20. The brick is nice, as all Standards are, and you also get a whole bunch of Bicycle-branded items, as mentioned earlier. The only part that irked was in the letter received in the package saying something about how we have to endorse the brand by having weekly "Poker Nights". Long story short, they made me feel like I had an obligation to "play more cards" with the merchandise shipped over, when, in signing up, I had no idea it would be like this. (Sorry if my rant maybe a bit confusing)

I get what you mean but the point is to basically sponser and advertise for Bicycle right? I mean I don't think the free stuff was just for kicks. But hey, it's what they want you to do, not that you actually haaaave to

I'm IN the US and still haven't received mine! My mail has been glacial lately.

John B. · « **Reply #66 on:** March 08, 2013, 09:01:09 PM »

So I joined club 808 a day late to get this, or so I thought. I messaged them when they said I joined club 808 and this is what I got in my inbox today.

Hello John,
Sorry for the late reply.
We will be able to get a Play More Cards packet to you.
Glad to have you as a fellow member!
Best Regards,
Darren

I love their customer service team.

You should have definitely received yours by now. If I were you, I'd try to ask them for a tracking number, because if your package came by UPS (which mine did), it should come with one.

John B. · « **Reply #71 on:** March 08, 2013, 10:13:03 PM »

well I just got notice of them mailing it to me. Have not got it yet.

I use a USPS Post Office box. I don't have it set up yet for receiving UPS packages. I've already contacted USPC about it and they said about a week-plus ago that if it didn't arrive to contact them and they'd resend one.

I'm still a little mind-boggled about the whole giveaway. It's a nice way to promote card playing in general, which is always a good thing for a playing card company! They haven't done something akin to this in many years.
