While bonuses and rakeback may boost your win rate slightly, they are not worth much to a player with only $100.

My bonus at FT amounts to 42% rakeback. In addition to that I will be getting rakeback through an affiliate.

How many cents per hour would even 100% rakeback be worth to someone playing NL $2? My estimate is about 10-15 cents/table-hour, although it depends on a few factors; 42% rakeback would be worth 4-6 cents/table-hour. That is a lot less than the achievable win rates at that level, say 60 cents/table-hour. I stand by my statement that rakeback is not worth much to someone trying to build up from a $100 bankroll. It is much more important to find game you can beat for a good rate.
Rakeback at Full Tilt is worth a bit more to a microstakes NL player, since Full Tilt takes 10% rake at NL $10 instead of the normal 5%. However, that's not a good deal overall.
