Maybe the remaining points will have to be used on tourneys. Or maybe I am still just not understanding this program. I'd be interested to hear from players that have progressed to higher gears as well.
I definitely think you're not understanding the program. You can convert your points to cash more than once at each level. Maybe my experience will shed some light on this. I'm a rakeback player and I'm 90% of the way through 4th gear.
While in 2nd gear, I converted 10,000 points for $100 cash twice.
While in 3rd gear, I converted 20,000 points for $200 cash twice.
And while in 4th gear, I converted $30,000 points for $300 cash twice.
In 5th gear I will need 40,000 points to convert into a $400 bonus. I'm assuming I will do this twice before I reach top gear.
And then in top gear I will need 50,000 points to convert into a $500 bonus and I can do this as many times as I want since there is no gear above top gear. So every time I have 50,000 points I can convert into $500 cash.
I hope this helps. PM me if you still have questions.
