Some of the business decisions made by the online poker sites has me wondering a) how they ever got their job in the first place & b) just WTF are they thinking...  are they thinking?  I would think they'd be attempting to draw in more customers instead of sending the loyal ones away.  :(

The rakeback rewards program they introduced on there a few years back (5 or 6 years?) where they made it a standard 20% rakeback to begin with (and then potentially higher if you got to 'Diamond' &/or made more via Leaderboards).  I never played much volume there but was happy getting the basic 20%.
GG was much higher giving a standard 35% (I think until just recently as I don't seem to be getting the same amount since April of this year), 'BUT' the rake on the cash game tables seems ridiculously high!  ie. I play what feels like a decent, winning session on there, expecting to see +1 or 2 buyins after playing for 45mins. only to discover my balance being lower than when I'd started the session lol.  I find it really important to pick what 'time of the day' I'm playing on there as the player pool can vary by quite a bit.

I still enjoy playing on Partypoker micro/low cash tables but there seems to be fewer players on there all the time but I do notice some new accounts too.  There's also a group of regulars who are pretty decent at the game and can make it quite tough.

The $109 ticket I received was for their big Sunday tournament.  Since then I've gotten pathetic rewards.
