I'm going to get my Plasma TV about 5 months earlier with the ironman promo. Seems like a nice bonus to me.

Uhh the freerolls are pretty freaking good. I made Iron level last month and the freeroll was a 30k with only 420 people. Around 2/3-3/4 of the people were actually there. I have never not cashed in one of these Ironman freerolls and 41-90 paid 120 bucks. I got 39th and got 150. Not much to some but this tournament is pretty money.

First place was $5400. Winner of that plays the 4-person SNG for 5k.

Winner of that plays 3 FTP pros in HU SNG's if you win 1 you get like 5k, 2 you get 10k, 3 you get 100k. Do any 2p2'ers ever get this far?

And has anyone ever won all three for the 100k? What FTP pros do you play? The randoms or Iveys?

So I decided to take a job at Company A rather than B or C because A was offering highest pay and best move-up potential (imo). Then I find out that I earned a silver employee of the month medal, which qualified me for a $50 gift certificate to Outback, and I was like "WTF That's the worst reward program ever".

How long do the freerolls take? Are they turbos? I've always taken the bonus medals up until now but I'm considering the freeroll this time.

The $ bonuses count against RB and the tokens do not.

Having rakeback would change that.

How do I obtain medals? Does a certain amount of points equal a certain amount of medals? I rang up 1000 points one day and got 5 bonus medals, but I don't even know how I got the first 90 to begin with since this was the first time I received bonus medals.

I'm trying to estimate how long it will take me to get the 42" tv but I'm going to need to buy 50k points whenever possible.

I do not believe they are turbos. I usually take the medals. The freerolls count against your rakeback. Someone mentioned that the 30k trny had 420 players. If you have rakeback that is $71 from your MGR = $19 deducted from your rakeback.

Have a look at the tables in the link, they explain it all.

A little old, but should still be close, blue is estimated, red is nagative, here's a chart of $/medal for various IronMan rewards:

You should also get a little rackback when you use the tokens... not very significant but makes them even better deal then things that deduct from your rakeback...
