Is this possible?

I have $150.95 in credits, 7 HD seasons, and 1,380 rewards points. Is there a way to give these away? I converted rewards points to an Amazon gift certificate, but I can't reduce that any further.

I can't refund it because those credits are from postseason success, not purchases. On the "Available Credits" screen it say all of it is transferable. Anyone know what that means?

You can give away rewards points by using them to buy gift certificates for other users.

I see how to buy the gift certificates. But, how do you transfer them to another coach?

On "delivery option", the dropdown you have the option of "Send directly to existing Whatifsports.com user". Then "billing option" use reward points.


I have $9 worth of reward points for someone that needs it, just answer here or sitemail me.

I need it I am a new user and don't have a job currently it'll be much appreciated

yeah, you can transfer reward points as gift cards, i use reward points from my main account to fund my mid major team that i picked up, and use the credits to fund the main team itself - there's no way to transfer those around or anything.

stine you should totally make up some rules and have people apply for the 9 dollars. like, they have to be able to demonstrate they were wronged by something you perceive as a major injustice in the game - they have to have been bumped from the PIT by a 10-17 BCS coach prior to the rule change, or lost in the NT to a guy with 2 teams in that world, something like that. that would be awesome and hilarious.

Fun idea, but I don't want to relive those facts. If there is one thing I actually did that was positive, it was the implementation of the .425% to make the PIT. I preferred higher, but it is what it is.

There was a user that sitemailed me with over 2,500 wins that could use it, so the $9 has been donated.

Unfortunate I can't give away seasons. I think I'll convert the available credits to seasons (since they expire) and if/when I come back (no earlier than 1/1/2017) they will be available.

i was 90% joking and 10% joking slash giving you a hard time :) would be kind of ridiculous to actually do that over 9 dollars, although there is something appealing about someone going out by donating their reward points to fight injustices they fought in their time here. i think the .425 limit is good for the game long term, you definitely were one of the driving forces behind it. it just sucks it came at a time when low level BCS jobs are the hardest gig in the entire game IMO, plus you would have been able to get a higher % at a time when that wasn't the case. so, bad timing, but yeah, i think it is a good long term contribution to the game.

its just too bad it was such a needlessly divisive issue, i view that as you winning the battle (sort of, you didn't get the .500), but losing the war. the long term damage of spinning the situation as the haves vs the regular folks is real, it helped turn that into a theme. plus, i cannot think of a more ridiculous situation to put that spin on something, over what, an occasional 400 dollars high BCS schools lose from their conf mates losing that PIT bid? could anything be more insignificant? so, while the .425 limit might be your biggest success, its also almost certainly your biggest failure. not to say my personal biggest failure wasn't worse (it was), or that i am perfect or anything. i think we are alike in that the divisiveness of our biggest fights outweighs any other consequence.

I read that as 2,500 words and thought to myself damn who else writes 2,500 words about hd besides me and Billy lol

If someone wrote 2500 words to me, they would become ineligible for the $9.

I don't think 9-18 teams should ever make the postseason, if you think they should, that's your prerogative. The imbalance between the Big 6 and everyone else has long been absurd, it is not helped by having every team in a conference make the postseason. That's more bonus cash and prestige for the elites, and unnecessary. A mid-major that gets 1st and 2nd round NT appearances shouldn't be at a $30,000+ bonus cash disadvantage to a Big 6 school that makes quick PIT exits, and ends up with the same prestige. Things that even it out are always appealing to me.

i disagree with exactly 0 of that, as did most coaches against the .500 limit. however, that doesn't mean i agree that a 13-14 35 rpi team in a BCS conference shouldn't be able to make the PIT, when mid majors have a much easier road to low level NT bids.

i can understand if you believe a 13-14 team should be PIT eligible. i don't suggest you hold that belief for selfish reasons. here's the problem with your reasoning skills, and with you as a person. because people disagreed with your case for a .500 limit, you figured it had to be for purely selfish reasons. you accused folks, including myself, who disagreed with your proposal, of being in it for totally selfish reasons. there was no basis for that, people can disagree, for logical reasons. the world is not black and white. what is black and white, is that you were dead wrong, to accuse people against the. 500 limit, of being against it because we wanted the occasional 400 dollars from our conference mates. to suggest we are so selfish as to screw over other folks, over an occasional and insignificant 400 dollars in bonus money, borders on insane.
