Iron Man Medals

[luckychancer]

I'd say it's worth saving up as many medals as possible in case they develop the iron man store to include some nice items ala PS FPP.

dumb question:

say i got 75 medals this month, they don't reset at the start of the next month do they? I can just save for 500 medals or whatever I want, correct?

[china_hard]

jsnipes, correct.

If you sign up for bonus medals, some things to consider:

If you purchase tokens they are not deducted from MGR.

If you purchase FT points they are not deducted from MGR until you cash them in.

Best values: $600 bonus = .20/medal, $216 entry = .196/medal, $535 entry = .194/medal, 25k FT points = .192/medal.

Am I to understand that (if you knock off what you would have got in RB) the $600 bonus is actually only worth $438 or 0.146/medal, whereas the entries are worth their face value?

Of course, I don't play tournaments so it's hard for me to assign a value to the entries themselves, but whatever.

Bonus is deducted from MGR so you could argue that it's worth less than .20/medal.

Tokens and tourney entries are not deducted from MGR, since FT is taking its rake from the entry fees. By that same logic, they are worth less as well. (i.e. - The $535 entry is really a $500 entry after the rake.)

Either way, any extra FT is offering I'll gladly accept.

Hmmm, so a 100 medal month is only worth $14.6 to $20. This is extremely disappointing.

^^yea, hopefully ftp decides to boost their "loyalty" program, but i doubt this will happen. An email to support a month ago said no changes had been planned at the time, doubt anything has changed since...

If the FTP promotions department have any sense (which could be a stupid question) then they should develop this promo to include higher level for more points with more rewards etc.
For the non RB customers this would be a great way to compensate and for the RB customers it's the icing on the cake.
