    I was looking at some of the items in the black store, the 2 watches they have in the accessories. The rolex and the Tag heuer, if you buy the rolex from the full tilt store, you are roughly playing $1600 more than the value of the watch. each full tilt point is worth $0.0045. the rolex watch is 1,536,100 points which comes to $6982. but you can get that watch online for ~$5300.

    the tag heuer watch would cost you $4304 if you buy it in the full tilt store, and the online price is about $2300.

    just a heads up for anyone with alot of points. the best value is to get the cash bonuses, but even then you still have to clear it. unlike stars, you just buy the bonus in the store and they give you the cash.

    its pretty close, with 1,100,000($5000) points you could get 24 seats to the sunday 750k. but with $5k cash you could get 23 seats to the 750k. so buying the tournament tickets is slightly better.

    Everything except bonuses and tourney tickets are overpriced, especially electronics.

    Think about it this way:
    Say you have exactly 1,536,000 FTP right now, at the very beginning of the blackcard's existence. As was stated, those points have a cash value right now of $6982.
    Now that you have blackcard status you're getting 2:1 FTP, and since the cash value of each FTP is still the same, assuming you generally accumulate FTP at a consistent rate you can now accumulate that same $6982 worth of FTP in the time it previously took you to earn $3491 worth of FTP (obv not factoring in extra points from happy hour, iron man, etc.). i.e. if you're a loyal customer and steady grinder eventually you will eventually be purchasing the rolex at a discount.

    The Full Tilt store is very poor.
    stars has a greater selection of stuff at better value, esp for UK players.
    C'mon FT :)
