I have been playing mainly at full tilt poker because I have a first-deposit bonus I am working on. I have qualified for the Bronze Ironman and will probably make Silver Ironman by the end of the month. Silver lets me play in a $15,000 freeroll as a perk. Silver qualification takes 25 days at 50 points a day which I can make playing $1/$2 limit for about two hours each day.

Playing the same amount at pokerstars would qualify me for SilverStar VIP and I could buy into four $20,000 tournaments with FPPs. This seems like a better deal.

Does anybody have experience with other sites similar programs? How about the comparison between FTP program and PokerStars program?

PS pretty clearly has the edge as far as frequent playing unless you have rakeback for Full Tilt (PS isn't affiliated with any rakeback programs). i get rakeback so i prefer Full Tilt

I like to use my points to buy stuff in the points stores. The points prices at FTP's store are outrageous! They just raised them recently. A book costs 9100 points compared to 2000 at Stars. And IMO, you earn points at nearly the same pace at both. If you like points, Stars is the way to go.

The latest I have learned is Fulltilt deducts from your rakeback when you use points to buy something at the store. I don't even understand how one relates to the other. I think that is bogus.
