Hmm, sammy said $50, but I think it is worse at $100. But this might be perception on my part, as at $100, I quickly realized that table selecting to avoid SSers was costing me $$, so now I look for tables with short and half stacks

I'm not sure the buy a month worked for me. I kept getting a message that said "you have already bought two continuing months" which was false, and it wouldn't let me buy one. So I just bought 200 point days in August and September to keep my status. I had some serious issues getting the days purchased. The FT store kept telling me that the 200 point days page was broken (while every other page in the FT store worked fine), but refreshing constantly eventually got it to work. I would estimate that it took me over an hour of refreshing the page to buy 3 200 point days last month.
Since that has happened both times i have tried to use the FT store to buy 200 point days, I am reasonably confident that it is intentional, and FT wants you to give up buying days and thereby lose your Iron Man status when you realize at the last minute you need to buy a day or two.
The other scam I encountered is on the confirmation page. After attempting to buy a 200 point day, instead of getting a page saying "your purchase was successful," I got an error page that said "this page is down, please try back later." But the purchase had gone through. Unfortunately, this gimmick tricked me into buying an unnecessary day. So check your Iron Man page after every attempt to buy a day, regardless of whether you think the purchase succeeded or not.
