    so I am on that 27% cashback (month to month) program on FTP now.

    I heard if I claim anything using points, it will be deducted from the RB.

    Say I was scheduled to receive $100 Cashback (or RB for those who are in RB) for this week and if I claim 5800 points for $26 step 3 ticket, how much cashback will be taken away?

    Thanks

    i have a question too thats probably been answered a 100x, but I just started getting that rakeback bonus on ftp too through ftp. Ive been reading that buying mtt tickets are the best value for ftp points, but if I buy mtt tickets with the points will that affect rakeback?

    edit: OP i think if it affects it, its 27% x the amount u are purchasing...so 27% x $26 would be the mgr hit?

    Hey guys,

    With anything where you use points, the deduction to your rake back is $0.00135 per point spent. That's $1.35 per 1,000 points

    If I remember right the best bang for your points are ftops tournaments. Even converting your medals to ftps and using them for FTOPS seems to be the best deal. $26 and $75 tokens are not bad either.
