Not running very well since some weeks, but i might give it a try. Could end up that a level will cost me my bankroll.
Think I played too many big fields in the last weeks. They keep attracting me, but you have to beat 1.000´s of runners. Lost the last 5 Sng I played there a few days ago as well, so i guess these VPP´s are going to cost me bigtime. But it looks like a very nice promo to buld up those points for buy-ins and stuff.

reached silver going for gold ... not much benefits though as to get the cash bonus eg for silver star level u need to remain at silver and hit 4,500 fpps for the free $50 and im unlikely to remain at silver over the next couple of months lol lol .... hit gold star though get into the $100,000 freeroll so will try for that and see how i get on ... have 125 fpp so only have to reach 300 so thats achievable

If I didn't absolutely despise stars, I would take a shot at this. Seems like kind of a tease though really, I mean there's no real benefits from bumping up in VIP status unless you have the points to spend. I think I have around 177vpps and $300 sitting on my stars account atm. Haven't played a hand there since they got rid of the DONs.

Got Gold,will try to reach platin by the end of next week btw,to those who dont know how to spend their FPPs - play FPP satellites and unregister from target tournament,gets decent "rakeback". The VIP bonuses of that shop have pretty bad value,especially the $25 and $50 ones have horrible value.

That sounds like a pretty awesome promotion, thanks for the tips guys, looks like you're all making out like bandits!
Do you think it would be worth me depositing there just to take advantage of it? I guess this site still has a No Deposit Bonus at Party that can be claimed even if you signed up a long time ago, right? Maybe I'll give that a go.

Finally I will go on to silver and beyond. That account was stuck in the mud, dude. Pokerstars always have interesting promotions that makes all accounters be glad. Thas is the reason for it to be the number one poker room in the world.

I never made a deposit on stars and my mobpoints are almost reaching the needed limit to withdraw, so perhaps all of it or a part will go there. I need to think slow about where to apply this points / $. I dont want to make quick moves, because from the other times, i always lost good campaigns that only appeared after i made my deposits. I use to receive mails from room promos always after i deposit, About BRM deposit bonus, i am not sure if i am able to receive them since in most part of the rooms i used the NDB. I think i can only get deposit bonus from those rooms where i never got advantage of NDB, right?

Yes that thing with the promos happened to me before more than once. Ive opened an account and in less than a month i get a mail for a deposit or a no deposit bonus which is useless at the time. Then you fall into the reload category bonus Still havent an account at PS so far though.

Posted by Macubaas: I think if i play 4 tables for two hours a day i could reach platinum at the end of the month, this if i made the right math lol
Stars has a VIP calculator on their page @ the VIP Club part,it'll give you a fairly reliable idea about how many VIPs you earn @ which stakes with how many tables etc
Looks like a pretty nice promotion! Good luck to you guys! I don't really like pokerstars so I don't think I'm gonna deposit there unless they make some kind of special MTT tournaments with huge prizepools.
