Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??
 

don't they have a direct deal (like lower price for advertisement, more pieces or what ever).

Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??

I thought it was about $100K here in Canada

Porsches come in various price ranges from $52k to $600k

This is an entry level Porsche but still a great car. This at least answers a question for me about the car.

Stars offers you 0.02/fpp when you get the cars because it allows them to post it on their site and gets them publicity. If you want cash then you get 0.015/fpp. Sorry I have no sympathy for your situation.

The problem here is that Stars believes their is a value in the publicity of giving away a Porsche. Giving away 60K is less. Plus its possible Porsche paid or traded for product placement on Pokerstars, hence the higher FPP value.

Yeah, this is what I expected them to say. But what they actually said is that they will wire $60k to the dealership. Maybe they just weren't being careful with their words or for some reason felt the need to misrepresent the situation, but if they really are sending $60k to the dealership vs $45k to the player it's pretty [censored].

Yes, they may wire 60K to the dealer, but we dont know what Porsche corporate is paying back to Pokerstars for each one given away. I expect Porsche to be paying for product placement on stars.

Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??
 

They probably stick PokerStars logos on the hood, sides and back of the Posrsche like they do on the FPP clothing. You have to get a paint job after removing them. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??
 

The item in the store says "Porsche," not "equivalent value in cash."

Re: FPPs --> Porsche --> $$ ??
 

also, OP: you decided to wait until you got 3MM FPPs to ask this? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

There is huge value in this... just look at this:

That kind of publicity brings them tons of new customers, which is probably worth more than the porsche itself in some cases.
