    hoard them until the FT cashier box crashes whenever you open it because you have more digits than the code can display.

    They have improved the store for blackcard members, but when you buy something from the FTP store, it takes away from your rakeback. Not cool.

    I didn't want to start a new thread, so i just bumped the most recent about ftp and points, but ftp's points are ridiculous.

    Why does a $216 750k ticket cost 45,000points and a $216 FTOPS ticket only costs 43,500points? Makes no sense, and the both spend the same.

    Also, the new blackcard store is ridiculous. If I save for the $5000 bonus for 1.1million points, I am spending 220points/$1.00.

    But, if I instead buy $5000 worth of $216 ftops tickets (23.15 tickets), I am only spending 201.39points/$1.00

    Sure the $5000 is more convenient because it is more versatile to spend, but for the same amount of ftps I can buy 25.3 $216 tickets worth $5462 out of the normal ftp store that is the same for non-blackcard holders. Obviously if you are going to eventually play 25 $216 buy-in tournaments you should just buy from the normal store and save $462.

    I guess I don't understand the point of the separate store if the value of the bonuses isn't worth as much as normal tournament tickets.

    Is it worth it to get the month or three month subscription to cardrunners? Honest question. Was thinking this is what I'd do with them, but nobody has mentioned that as a good investment yet, lol.

    If you are looking for a one time 6month membership, and then be done with it, then yes it is a good deal.

    In the ftp store the cheapest (lol, they actually vary in price) $216 ticket costs 43,500points. So that is 201.4 points/1$. A 6month membership to cardrunners costs $240 at cardrunners, but only 40,000 points in the ftp store which comes out to 166.7points/$1, which is a far better value.

    However, If you want to continue to renew your membership at cardrunners and you always want to see new video's and strategy tips from some really good players as the game constantly changes all the time then it is a better value to buy the 1yr membership directly from cardrunners for $360/year.

    If you buy 2 6month memberships in the ftp store you are spending 80,000 points. If you use 80k in points and put that toward tournament tickets, you get:

    80kpoints/201.3888points/$1 =$397.24 Where if you buy directly from cardrunners you are only spending $360.

    So in summary, if you only want a 6month membership it is a better deal to buy from the ftp store. If you want 1yr plus, you are losing $37.24/year if you buy from the ftp store instead of cardrunners.
