Well I requested then ND offers at Mansion Poker. After a few months I've got 24K MCPoints and I don't know what to do with them.
I need to spend them this month because I'm going to lose my VIP member status at the end of this month, and I will not be able play as often as I've been doing to get the status again.
So my options are:
Get two 20+2 tournament token Get one 50+5 tournamnet token.
What would be your choice and what kind of game would you play (DONs, S&Gs or MTTs)????
I'm better playing S&Gs but I will hear any suggetions. Thanks to everyone.

depends what that means for ur bankroll, if 20$ is near ur average buyin then get 50$ token but if 20$ is 3-4 times or more ur average buyin then get 2 20$ token.(remember it will be more diff winning at higher stakes) regarding choice of game i think it will be better to play games in which u r comfortable although don is a gud option too

I'd try to maximize my chances, so for sure I'd play the 20$ tokens in regular SNGs (I don't know if the DONs at that level are profitable or not...I guess there are more educated players at that level and it could be a borefest)

Last month I did similar thing. I played 20$DoN (and win 40$) with token for almost all of my MCP's, and that was nice boost to my bankroll. So I suggest 30+3$ and 20+2$ token
If I were in your place, I would certainly not bet on one horse and put the entire 50$ into one single tourney. One single bad beat would leave you with empty pockets. I would at least (!) take TWO shots, and choose the option which gives you the most options to get a profit, no matter how big it is. So I would start off with two 20$ (+fee) DON S&G's, since there the chances of winning are the largest AND it's right up your street since you say that's what you're best at. And if you can manage to win them both, you can take it a step higher and do thesame.
But you give us a bit too little information as far as I'm concerned, because you say that you must do something with your points NOW, but I don't really see they why behind it (ok, you're going to lose your VIP member status and fall back, but I don't really see why you must do something NOW - your points will still have thesame value even after you dropped back one or more levels in the VIP ranking, won't they ?). I have a feeling there's a little more to it than you say.
Anyhow, if your aim is to get your points exchanged for (even via an intermediate action like getting tokens for tourneys) cash in some way NOW (and that's where I don't see the urgency), then I'm sticking with my advice and go with the 2 time 20$ DON's and perhaps a step higher if you win both.

Posted by LaBaiz: I would play 50+5 Sit&Go trying to get some cash out of it, if you got to 24K, then you can take down this table too. Good luck
lol 24k Points ahhahaha.
To TheCardDemon: If I lose my VIP status I can't use my points in the "VIP store" as long as you have to have at least club member status to buy and use your points in the store. Because I'm going to start working in January I think I will no be able to get this status again soon, that's why I need to spend the point now.
So far, I think I will get 100 MCP more and I will buy two tokens to play DONs. May be I'm going to practice a little in lower buy-in before

with the 30+20 option I'd say this, just so you're likely to come away with something. Although, if you're bankroll is pretty decent already and winning only the $20 one wouldn't amount to much, then I'd say go the $50 DoN since you're much more likely to win this alone, than you are to win both the other ones. But whatever man, why you ask us this?
Posted by ZmxPowah: You're better at Sn&Go so ofc play them... If u don't feel to confident take 2x20~ if not 50~.
Agree, play to your strong points and try to make the most of it. I voted to take 2X20 that way if for some strange reason you get a bad run of cards you at least get a second chance at it. Nice job on the points, I know it takes some serious grinding to earn those points from an NDB cause I took that offer too. But I only have about half that and still going.
