    Hi - it's definitely worth it. You should take advantage of any promotions Full Tilt is offering, as the most you'd ever be charged for those promotions is 27% of their value.
    To give you a little more info on what is and isn't charged in the Iron Man Program:

    --If you play in the Iron Man freerolls, your MGR will be deducted by your % of the prizepool. For instance, if it's a $10,000 freeroll with 1,000 entrants, each entrant will have $10 deducted from their MGR--so it would cost you $2.70 against your rakeback.

    --If you exchange Iron Medals for tournament tokens ($26 and $75), there is no deduction to your MGR for those tokens.

    --Cashing out the medals does not affect your MGR or rakeback

    --If you exchange the medals for points and then spend the points in the FTP store, the usual point spending deduction would apply, which is $5 per 1,000 points spent against your MGR ($1.35 per 1,000 points spent from your rakeback)

    Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, I'll talk to our contact and see if I can find the answers.

    -Adam
