I got my Gift Card on Saturday for winning the Portland, OR constructed PCQ -Was nice to be able to walk out with"cash" in hand - It's worked great! I was able to order my GL pre-order online with it.
With this allow ude to catch up faster on distributing prizes for pcq winners?
Or is there someone i can call to dicuss this? Been waiting 4 months now and nothing, just wondering if there is some way to clear this up.
Re: UDE Prize cards for PCQs and $10,000 Championships

We quietly rolled out the UDE Prize Cards at some of the PCQs last weekend, and they will be available at all North American (US and Canada) PCQs and the $10,000 Championship in Detroit starting this Saturday.
A UDE Prize Card is a Bank of America Visa Gift card that has been loaded with the full amount of the prize money awarded at PCQs and $10Ks*. So instead of waiting 4-6 weeks for a prize check, the winners of these events will walk out with their prize immediately. These cards can be used whereever Visa is accepted, or you can go to an ATM and withdraw cash. We've even added a little extra to cover the ATM fees.
We think these are pretty hot, and hopefully you will too.
One caveat - for tax reasons, players in the US must have your Social Security number in order to receive your prize.
Cheers,
Ben
* Note: Top eight players at a $10K will all receive a $400 UDE Prize Card, and the top four will receive an additional check to make up the difference. We couldn't put the whole prize on a UDE Prize Card - federal regulations restrict the maximum that can be awarded per card.

We are working on "instant prize" options for all regions, but making sure we meet all the regulations for the different countries can be tough. I've been working on these for North America for about six months, and there have been "some" number of hoops to jump through.
So short answer is "not yet", but we'll try our best.
