Hey guys!

 

How do you use your FPPs?

Any suggestions? Articles?

 

I usually play some sattelites or get the cash PS offers.

i was mainly using my FTPs on $26 tickets, but i think i might save up for a mini chipset now, they would be really cool for the regular poker trips i make.

This is going to sound silly, but if you want the absolute best $ for your FTPs…buy items from the store and sell them on ebay.  If that is more trouble than you want to go through, use them for sattys and tourney tickets.

Sounds good.

I think the products of the pokerstars store are really expensive. (I am not sure).

 

 

Sattelites or cash?

Well the cash is earned through VPP's.  Frequent player points are used to purchase goods and tickets.  The cash bonuses are released each time you hit 750 VPP's the first five times I believe and then the price and rewards escalate.  It only costs 1 FPP to release the cash bonus to your account.

You are talking about “stellar rewards”.

In the same category there are the “reward bonuses” and they have to do with FPPs.

You can change 2,500 fpp with $25, 4,500 fpp with $50 etc.

 

I made some calculations:

2,500 fpp = $25

2,500 fpp = 5 step 1 tickets * $7.50 = $37.5

2,500 fpp = 3.57 Sunday qrt million * $11  = $39.27

2,500 fpp = 0.3 value of dvd player = 0.3 * $110 = $33

 

Note 1: These are random examples. There are more differences depending on the amount of fpps or price of the item.

Note 2: The dvd player is Sony DVP-SR700H. I found the price in euros and change it to USD. Different stores, different price…

 

p.s.  Great jell skin. The ebay asks (I am not sure about that) 10% commision…

 

 

EDIT:  I have not calculated the cost of the shipment. PS does not charge you when sending an item. Online stores do. So seems good value in the dvd example.
