purchases with your player pointHas anyone ever made purchases with their player points? If so what did you buy, or what are you saving for. I personally just keep collecting, might save up for an Itouch/electronics. |

i've bought a pack of cards coz i wanted decent plastic ones, but thats about it i think its up to you, just make sure you buy the cash bonuses as this is the replacment for rackback

I've never spent FTP points, pretty sure they don't ship anything decent to UK IMO.

I've spent some points for different things in the past. Polo-shirt, nice deck of cards, mini-chipset, etc.
Nowadays I convert everything in cash bonuses. That way you can spend it however you want, once you cash out. |

You will take a huge hit on your rake back if you make a purchase like that. |

Surely only for that week though right? Or am I missing something quite fundamental? | ||
| U Cook Socks |
No not just for that week, unless your weekly rakeback covers what you spent. |

Oh 
looks like Il be scrapping that idea then!! So it then deducts it from the following weeks as well then? |

I'm not an expert at this, it's a very gray area. No one I know has every come up with exactly how it all works. Basically each point takes away so much from your rake, you can end up owing them money (as I did) If they take for example $100 from your rake back (I'm not sure how much it would be for a big item, but it will probably be more than that) Then they will just keep taking your rakeback until it is clear. Also, something people don't realise, if you leave your full tilt account idol, you will lose rakeback when you return if it's been long enough. Because they deduct some each month for free rolls you are entered in to. Something to do with Iron Man. I can't remember exactly. Search 2+2, you will find more information, that is more accurate than mine. I'm just warning you, nothing is free
You used to be able to buy in to tournaments with them, without any rakeback hit,but I believe they stopped that now too. |
