I play on 3 sites. pokerstars, bodog, and Fulltilt. I will exclude Bodog because there isn't much you can do with points and there is no rakeback. From approximately Dec 12th through all of January I will be free to play a ton of poker.

I play $5 SnGs and tournaments <$10. I generally mix up my play between stars and tilt depending on what sort of tournaments are running at the time, now however I would like to focus exclusively on one website and go for some sort of promotion whether it is for some VIP status or ironman. Since I will be starting in the middle of the month in december this isn't feasable, I can however still collect points. In January, I will have the full month.

tl;dr FT has ironman and it has rakeback. Pokerstars seems to have more games and has the VIP system. If I'm going to shoot for playing hard at one place exclusively for a month where should i go if I'm looking to maximize my bonuses at these stakes?

I play at Bodog and Fulltilt and also you should check out Feltstars. Feltstars is also a good u.s. poker site that I play at some.

In the long-run, the VIP system at Stars absolutely kills the rakeback at FT. Not sure what level you would have to reach for it to matter (PlatinumStar?), but Stars also has more players, which usually equals more donks.

I would just check the seasonal promos. FT probably will do more "holiday" stuff, which is right up your alley.

Once I found out that I was never getting RB at FTP I started playing exclusively at PS. The VPP I can generate but playing there all day instead of some at PS and some at FTP is much better.

If you get RB at FTP you should play there. Playing at both I think is hurting your bottom line though overall.

I wasn't getting RB at fulltilt all I had to do was ask. Damn I was sort of hoping pokerstars would be the one I should play at. I've found that the payouts for full tilt tournaments are too steep, at least compared to stars.
