[SinkRox]

so how much rb does the 1,5k bonus roughly work out to, say for 1/2 and 2/4 nl 6max?

do you think PS would let me purchase 1.5k cash bonus with 100k fpp but not SN status yet if I ask?

Very unlikely. You can purchase the 650 bonus, though.

Do they make these exceptions all the time if you aren't platinum?

I think they do for non cash/special items. I did ask and they shot me down on the 1.5k bonus. It makes sense though it sucks.

no it doesnt make sense and thats why i stopped playing there.
If I earn points at a slower rate than a supernova thats understandable. However resticitng what I can do with those points is unfair especially considering that for me getting to 100000 earns more rake for the site than a supernova who gets to 100000 points.

I agree with this 100%.

wtf why do you people waste money? you get .0162 cents per fpp with concierge service...in other words $1,620..NOT $1500

[Henry17]

If you are going to buy something anyway then yes I agree concierge is the way to go but I think quite a few people earn points faster then they generate receipts.

I was plotting out my October play in Excel today. There is no way I could spend that many points.

cant you just get $1k gift cards to walmart and buy whatever you want? i have tons of points that are just sitting in my account because i have no idea what to spend them on.

[Henry17]

In theory you could but I don't know how many supernovas shop at Walmart. I know I've been in one twice in my entire life.

The extra 8% isn't worth having where you can spend the funds limited.

In theory I guess you could buy Pre-paid Visa gift cards and use them almost anywhere but those at least in Canada tend to have a lot of fees that would quickly eat into the 8%. They are also usually used by people with bad credit so there is that stigma which again is not worth 8%.

LOL! Do the 120 dollars really worth the effort?
