they scared H1N1.

They count points as $0.005 value and deduct that from your MGR. So if you're gonna spend 40k points, it is valued $200 (normally the real store price is lower), which is deducted from your MGR (so your MGR is $200 lower than if you wouldn't buy it). 27% of that is what you'd normally get in rakeback, but now you don't get that. So you'll effectively pay $54 for the item. If you think it's worth more than $54, go for it, if not (say you're gonna get something just to use the points but you dont really need it), just keep your points and don't get your MGR reduced

With this you can just compare the items in the store with the price you pay in Wal-Mart, Amazon, etc, and see what's the best value, what discount you get by paying it with points, etc.

Thanks for this - very useful. Will keep points and not buy random shit then until I really want it!

I have bought and they decrease depending on there points value but never decrease percentage for example I bought an iPod once they did minus 150$ but I think points are worth more now so maybe it's less

Kinda related so I figured I'd put it here:

How about tourney buy ins for FTPs? Do they deduct from your rakeback too?

From what i remember they don't deduct when you use it for tourneys

They deduct $5 for every 1000 points spent in the FTP store. Check my blog, I posted all the known FTP fees that I got from my RB site.

headphones end up being like <$10s.

Decent value imo, you can def get worse for more money.

Use the ftp's for tournies instead, no mgr hit there so you get full value from them

+1 LOL.

Is that Sony 40-inch LCD TV worth getting? It's getting great reviews on Amazon... I don't have a TV ( I download everything lawls ) and wanted to purchase one for maybe some PS3/360 action.

It's priced at like 180k FTP points.

i got a zippo lighter from the store and within two weeks, it broke (as in the flint no longer sparked). waste of $ imo. cost me $30 in RB

i received my rb, bought some stuff and then cashed out all my bankroll.

like a boss

Another question, I just received the TV i ordered from the ftp store, broke like a mother fucking in shipping...anyone have any experience dealing with getting replacement shit from the ftp store?

idk email them and see what happens

Oh shit I hope my 52" doesn't break... had to ship it to a friend in the US to ship to me here >.>

So, is it worth getting or what? Some guy said I have to pay $5 for every 1k FTP points I spend...and the 40-inch is 180k points. $900 in RB, really?

you lose 27% of $5 for every 1k points so you lose $243 in rb

this also completely worth getting the 40", it's a nice tv

also for anyone in the future wondering about returns. For electronics contact CDW (the company full tilt orders electronics from), they will fully handle the return and overnight you a replacement product.
