If so, what did ya get? :D

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.. :p

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, ...

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.

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.

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