I went with 2, as I'm a bit of a sucker for semi-transform sort of stuff.

I went with #3 because #2 said maybe half the pip cards would be conceptual and I didn't see the plan for the other half of them.

When did you get the email? I haven't seen anything yet then again i'm no longer a gold member because I haven't bought anything from them in quite some time. Seems like they hardly ever release anything and most of what they do is available elsewhere way before they make it available so it's hard to spend X amount of money to maintain any kind of membership level which makes me wonder the point of having a gold membership if it's only for a few people. Oh well i'll have to contact them.

To tell you the truth I'm not sure why I'm still considered gold as I have not bought anything in ages... Looks like the email just went out to gold members.. I'm sure they will be on sale for everyone soon

Well, I WAS a gold member, but now that it's time to hand out free decks, I'm all of a sudden a bronze member. What a crock. I've written to them asking for a "Please Explain", but I'm expecting that they are going to weasel out of it somehow.

Same...was Gold, now Silver...what a joke! How do they expect anyone to stay a Gold Member with the shit decks that they offer on their site anyways?

Aint that the truth. I'm not even going to try anymore. It's nonsense and I don't like to be faced with frustration when I'm just trying to make a purchase.
TL:DR It's completely up to you.
We can still be friends.
I actually like playing cards.
We live in interesting times.

USPC will be sending this to anyone who participated. If you are no longer a gold member and didn't receive an email you should contact them to confirm.

I contacted them yesterday and got a reply today basically saying that they did overlook those of us who had been Gold members at the time the project was going on but became Silver or Bronze by the time the project completed. It also said they were going back through everyone to find those that fell into this situation. Not long after I got my reply, I got the email about receiving a free deck (probably the same email mentioned above).

It's been so long since I logged in I had to reset my password.

Was Gold, now Silver. As I predicted the day after the new paradigm was announced, they shot themselves in the foot. I am amongst those who still haven't seen a thing since a couple of months ago when I likely was still "Gold"...

Got my deck in a few days back but haven't opened it yet as I ended up leaving it at my folks' place on accident. Anyone get one and have pictures or should I make a mental not to pick it up when I'm over there tomorrow?

Same here. When I was a gold member they'd send me e-mails to vote. When I fell off, the e-mails just stopped coming without warning but my free deck is arriving today. Wish I remembered that when I ordered two on Black Friday. But oh well, it's a very nice deck.

SIDE NOTE: I'm still amazed at the digression of club 808. It was BY FAR the best subscription playing card membership around (IMO) just a mere 2-3 years ago. Now they expect you to maintain Gold Member status while only releasing a small handful of decks per year that, oh by the way, are only available in select Walmarts and not even on their site.

Much to my surprise, I received an email last week asking for me to confirm my shipping address and today I received a deck - they didn't charge for shipping to Australia, which was unexpected and nice of them.
