They are both located practically next to each other and their email format is identical. Cigar International's official line is "No". I call BS. Not that it matters. Just starting this thread because I'm bored. :-P

Obviously you are new. Yes, they are one in the same from their customers' perspective. You are going to catch a lot of fun, smart-ass flack for your post. Don't take it personally. Just ca;; CBid customer Service ASAP and ask to speak to Trish about the FREE UPFRADE TO PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP!

^ Platinum is not earned, my friend. It is not bought, or bribed.
When "they" think you are ready for Platinum...you will be contacted.

For the Noobs that are thinking about one day, "Maybe" upgrading to a "Platinum Membership", this is the Thread to read.
But there is No Guarantee that you will ever be selected to become a "Member", because there is a limit on Memberships. You have to wait until either a Member passes away and the person he or she wills it to, does not want to renew it, or your name gets drawn out of a "Lotto" every Odd year. Only 10 names get drawn, and there are over 100,000 names in there.
Of course sending FGM at least 10 lbs of "Salted Peanuts" gets you an extra ticket for the lotto, for each 10 lbs of peanuts sent.
Now asking Trish over and over again about her "Jigglers" will get your name taken off the list also. This is a Big No No. It doesn't matter if you are at CigarFest and are drunk as a Skunk. You still don't ask about her "Jigglers". She has a Man already, and doesn't need anyone asking her. When she wants to bring her "Jigglers" out, she will. Until then, don't be asking.
Good Luck.

my nuts are ALWAYS salty. and the fruits around this site are absolutely shriveled, so i assume they are dry.

LOL! We probably should not even permit noobs to post in those types of threads in Miscellaneous until they have been on CBid for 3-4 months,lest we scare them away with our rancor.

lot of clever witty people posting at Cbid. Sometimes hard to determine what is the truth and what is leg-pulling. Is there really platinum membership? of course I won't take any response seriously.

36,

Yes Virginia, there is a platinum membership.

I believe it is $100,000/year in cbid spending. Not sure though. I am only a gold member.

Here's the breakdown..may God have mercy on my soul:

Black Platinum Membership - Invitation only. Must be of Svedish descent, with triple A credit rating and 250K/year spending on any of their sites.

Platinum Membership - 100K/year spending and Triple A credit. (Must also send a slap to Slim and pull andytv's finger at least once)

Wheel membership - Men only. Requires midget love declaration and willingness to spend 1 weekend per year with ScottHar and JadeRose in the Pink Room in San Francisco for one night with a can of linseed oil(don't question it either!)

Standard Gold - Solid repartee skills to enter the Misc. boards and post on Cbid forums plus 5 Super Deluxe Premium Ultra SuperDuty cigars for each of the elite Cbid posters (and you have to figure that out yer damn self!)

Welcome to the CigarBid Forum. Never take anything these guys say seriously.

CigarBid has no memberships of any kind. There are NO memberships other than your standard, we're-all-buddies-BOTL type thing. That includes herfing and BS'ing on a regular basis but that has nothing to do with CigarBid.

Thanks for asking and enjoy the forums!

Trish

Trish, thanks for denying the rumors and keeping Platinum membership only for us elite, long-time customers. Unfortunately, some people insist on openly discussing this and stirring up the curious noobs.

Yes, they are and their customer service sucks right now - won't respond to either emails or phone calls.
