The bonuses will be discounted "15%-50%" I am guessing 15% but still a great deal. I hope they wait til later in the month to have them as I need to earn a ton more FPPs!

Scarf & beanie is on sale tomorrow for 850 fpps. Normal price is 1700 fpps. I think I'm gonna go for this one.

Great idea to have a sale!


Dec 12
850 fpps

Nice post...glad I caught it. It'll be interesting to see how much the bonuses get discounted. If they are worth more than concierge it could be a nice way to get a few grand!

Lol sighhh for spending all of my fpps. Time to grind back up and get in place so I can get the discounted $1500 bonus whenever that comes out.

Oh, and I figured I'd toss this out there for anyone looking to take advantage of bonus discounts (if/when they are available):


Concierge value = $500/31000 FPP = $0.01613

(Bonus $) (FPP Req) (Value) (VIP Lvl Red) (Sale FPPs needed for bonus ~ Concierge)
50 5000 $0.0100 Silver 4000
285 25000 $0.0114 Gold 17670
650 50000 $0.0130 Platinum 40300
1500 100000 $0.0150 SN 93000

I believe even a 15% discount would be worth more than concierge for the $1500 $.01764 .

Yeah, 15% would be for the Plat/SN but not for the Silver/Gold lvl.

I may have missed the "15%~50% discounts" on the poker stars page though. I saw it in the OPs post but couldn't find any official reference. Hoping for 15%+, that'd be great!

bummer, I was really hoping pstars would put the porsche on the list of items to be discounted.

I'm going to buy 5,622 beanies with my points. Just think of how much I'll save!!

One per customer otherwise your beanie wealth would be unmatched.

One per customer.

Are you trying to say that you multi-account?

Open your Poker Stars client software. Go to Help->News.

You will see there at bold and blue: "special discounted prices (from 15% up to 50%)".

That's an official Poker Stars statement...


At least the $1500 one will be at a very nice rate. And I believe that almost all of them will be interesting (at a 20% discount $650 one would give 0.0163 and I am inclined to believe that's what we will find there).



A bit curious about the Limited Edition watch, too. Kind of interested on it if it comes with a nice discount...

Probably a pretty safe bet that the bonuses will be better than the concierge rate....I'd save up ~150k fpp.

On a side note...I'm surprised Stars is not putting up the prices ahead of time so that people who don't have the required fpp tries to grind it by the day of the sale. At least on 2+2, if not the general public, I'm sure many would put up higher than normal volume just to get the better exchange rate. Might not be worth it, but psychologically poker players are weird like that

Well, the $1500 surely will be (what accounts for 85.000FPP) and I am pretty sure that $650 will be too (a 20% discount will be enough) what accounts for 125000FPP total. I am trying to say that there is already enough reason to go collecting FPPs...


But yeah, announcing all prices in advance (and putting the higher ones for later dates) probably would have a positive effect on play volume anyway, I guess.
