Pokerstars FPP Questions!

Just a few things have been bugging me about these recently and i just wanted people to clear these up for me please.

1. How much is 1 FPP worth roughly?
2. How many FPP's would $1 or $10 be ?
3. When you have say 20,000 FPP's in your account at the end of the year can these be claimed back for cash or do you have to use the bonus thing in the VIP store.
4. When do your fpp's get cleared from your account or do they not ?

Sorry for being thick i just wanted these points cleared up by somebody!

1. Depends on what you buy.
2. Depends on what you buy. Example: A $100 gas card is 8000 FPPs, but a $200 electronics gift card is 13,000 FPPs. I dunno why the difference.
3. You can buy "VIP bonuses" good for cash of various values in the FPP store.
4. I don't think FPPs ever expire.

How much is 1 FPP worth roughly? Depends what your status is as you go up in status to Supernova level, the cash equivalent is approx (at Supernova) 1.6cents I believe.

How many FPP's would $1 or $10 be ? See above

When you have say 20,000 FPP's in your account at the end of the year can these be claimed back for cash or do you have to use the bonus thing in the VIP store. You can claim the cash bonus and errr....earn cash once you have cleared the bonus requirement which is'nt that much. I would honestly suggest, if you can, save them up as much as possible and claim the highest cash bonus you can afford, as this gives you the better fpp rate imo.

When do your fpp's get cleared from your account or do they not ?

Well if you buy something from the Fpp store or whatever then they reduce them from your Fpp balance. Otherwise you can accumulate them for as long as you like.

Just be careful what you buy from the store, especially the elctrical items as they are deemed as poor value in Fpp rate. Much better to get vouchers and buy it from a store. Also the bigger the cash bonus you can afford the better the Fpp rate you will get.

Jag and Stick have your questions covered, but I just wanted to mention that I think the FPP satellites (whether it be to the million or the hundred grand) are a better deal than the cash bonuses/store items. As a platinum star I have worked out that I am getting better than 1.7c/FPP playing the 5400 FPP satellites (You need a 45% winrate in them and since I have played quite a few turbo S&Gs in my day, it is definately doable).
