Full Tilt Points and Rakeback

Does anyone have any suggestions as the most effective way to use points without affecting the rakeback too much? I don't particularly want any of the appareil in the store.

Tourney tickets or satellites are prolly best value. Ring game tickets if you play cash games and have enough.

Rakeback will take hit regardless. It's worth it though IMO.

Another thing is check for satellite tourneys and SNG's that don't pay out in tickets. You can just un-register from these and take points. They are few and far between but they may still exist. If you can find them this is a good way to build up more points without taking rakeback hit. Then you can spend them and they get it anyway.

Doesn't it always affect your rakeback when you spend your pts. on Fulltilt? I know there has been some weeks where I ended up playing alot of satellites with my FUlltilt pts. but then on the day you get your rakeback I always wish I hadn't played in them. They just don't seem worth it. I personally prefer to spend them on Fulltilt clothing than on satellites

I heard form a different post a while ago something about getting the ipod form the store with points and than selling it on ebay, but I dunno from personal experience. Maybe the new ring game tickets (if your a cash player) or the tourney tickets (if your a mtt player) are a decent idea, as if you win a big tourney that you wouldn't play normally... the payday might be greater than any rakeback you normally get, but only if you do cash... and the ring game tickets kinda seem like an instant bonus.. and bonus>rakeback.. but search about the ring game tickets if you decide that route because i haven't tried them out personally yet.

I used to buy step 1 or 2 tickets with my FT points/IM medals/FTPA points, and than work it up to step 3 (or whichever is the
$26 one) and unregister and than play a $26 matrix SnG, but that was before tournament tickets i think, so I dunno if you can still do it like that or not. But you used to be able to play anything with the $26 buy-in, no reg 9 or 6max sng's just matrix, but there is 45 90 and 180's i believe.

You still can. I have one step 3 ticket I won in a satty bought with points(You can buy one directly with points too). Matrix is my plan. At least I am likely to get something this way. $26 BI is way too much to risk with my BR.

BTW, these take literally FOREVER to fill up. If you are in the mood to play even a little and there are more than 5 or 6 people sitting then register. This way you only have to wait 5-15 minutes or so.

a little burdensome but I know the suggestion of DetroitJimmy is right. Wish you all the best on your next game.

Steps would also give you rakeback on the steps you play... Building up from lowest levels would quickly get your rakeback if you make up a couple levels...
