Have you ever had enough FT points to buy something?

#1 10th April 2010, 9:52 AM

If so, what did ya get?

I figured if you were able to get 250 points per day for one year, you would be able to get an iphone (the most pricey one).. That is if you don't spend them on something silly..

Nothing is worth the rakeback hit.

If you spend them you lose rake or something right.

you get a hit of about 1.35$ of rakeback for every 1000 points used. Its best to just save them up till you decide to leave ftp.

Well thats $114 if you get the iphone, so it would appear to be well worth it being as an iphone is worth well over that without contract.

That is simply not true, because it's a MGR hit, not a rakeback hit. So in the end you lose only $0.00135 in RB per FTP you spend, and that's less than retail price for all the items in the store.

I got a TomTom GPS, a Nikon D3000 camera, an iPod Touch, Sennheiser headphones, the bathrobe, a few caps, T-shirts, cards, ...

Well, I did pay them about $30k in rake since I joined there, so it's only fair I should get some stuff in return.

Very. Probably the best item in the store.

Pack of cards and a card protector, both decent quality and delivery not an issue.

#10 10th April 2010, 11:04 AM

Since I don't have RakeBack (signed up through Cardschat link 4 years ago), I got the black Scottevest Performance shirt with activity pockets for 8100 points. I like it.

#11 10th April 2010, 2:03 PM

Got the card protector, going to save up for something big this time though

#12 10th April 2010, 2:29 PM

Got the chip set. As you can see, I almost have enough for 2 more sets. Maybe I will get that bathrobe. But it doesn't look like you can choose a size. I'm a fairly small person.

#13 10th April 2010, 5:28 PM

delivery takes far too long, as is the trend for any poker points store.

I mostly try to buy into the FPP tournaments that way, but I've bought a ballcap and a winter hat.

#16 10th April 2010, 7:42 PM

you can grind microstakes, and do academy challenges then trade in you credits for ftpz.

#17 10th April 2010, 11:18 PM

I used to get some stuff from them from time to time.
Hats,shirts and stuff like that,but havent really got anything from them in a long time.

#18 10th April 2010, 11:24 PM

I got a hat, two shirts, and a pair of slippers.

#19 11th April 2010, 4:34 AM

I got the tom tom GPS. I like it but i kinda wish i would have saved up for the more expensive one.

#20 11th April 2010, 4:37 AM
