Pokerstars FPPs - How do you use them when you are supernova?

[SilentNoise]

i heard once you are supernova, the cash equialent of your fpps works out to around 27% rakeback. How do you make use of your fpps when you are supernova? save up for the concierge service? what is the most cost effective way of converting your fpps to cash and how do you go about doing this? can you ask for cash straight away or do you have to buy something electronic then sell it on ebay or something?

This has all the straight away cash options.

After looking around and thinking about it for awhile, I'm pretty convinced that the best way to convert FPPs to cash is to just get the $1500 bonus. The problem with getting electronics and selling them is that you lose a ton on the difference between buying/selling prices, so even if you manage to convince yourself that you're getting a $3000 item, you only end up with maybe $2700 on the sale.

Some people argue that the concierge service is the best way, and while it does have the best $/FPP conversion ratio, it's really only good if there happens to be a $3000 purchase you plan to make. It's no good if you make yourself get an expensive item, just so you can tell yourself you got a better deal on your FPPs. You also have the option of getting a $3000 gas or grocery gift card, and sure, maybe eventually you'll use it all up after a year or two, but the amount you save on the FPPs is probably not worth the amount you lose due to the time value of money.

Also, for the concierge service, they basically don't allow anything that's close to the conversion of straight cash. Ie. bills, tuition, gold, T$, etc.
