Party Points...

Anyone use these things? I know they can be used for MTT's under "Special" tourneys, but I never use them.

The tourneys pay out so little that it seems less-than worth-my-time.

I have like 12,000 points accumulated and most of these things only charge like 500 points. I told my GF she can use them if she wants but she isn't that in to poker. Certainly not enough to play for 3 hours straight.

What else can these things be redeemed for?

Thanks in advance.
