Stars VIP = Cash???

no it's not. simply returning an item is well within the rules, it's up to them how they decide to credit you. What if someone did this unknowingly and got credited back on their visa? Would you support prosecuting them for fraud? Obviously you wouldn't.

Here's an idea I have been working on: If you purchase the Dell gift certificate, then place an order and pay for part of your order with your Visa card, then return the order, you will get credited the full purchase amount on your Visa.

Not sure if its possible, but its certainly not fraud.

you guys finally figured out how to launder money?

[boose_bagina]

I found this interesting, here are the dollar values for 3 different prizes according to the FPP's required. (*note: I'm aware the dollar value increases as the prize value increases, but the EPT Monte Carlo trip seems like a rip-off)

Porsche - value: $59000 / 3 000 000 FPP. $/FPP: $0.0197
Dell Cert. - value: $2000 / 125 000 FPP $/FPP: $0.016
EPT Monte C. - value: ~$11900/ 1 000 000 FPP $/FPP: $0.0119

sooo, the Porsche ends up working out to about 25% rakeback [(83%hands>$20pot,$0.23rake/hand)@10/20 & 15/30 +] and should take about 2-3 years. Seems like an ok deal if you play high limits and a lot. I don't know the kind of taxes you would pay on the Porsche, if any, but that could be a factor in decreasing its value.

I think if you got the Porsche you'd have to pay taxes on it's retail worth (ouch), so it's actually less than 25% RB unless you REALLY wanted a Cayman S that you would have bought on your own, anyway.

well, you have to pay taxes on RB too

You can use your frequent player points to purchase a complete [Monte Carlo] package, including the entry fee, six nights of hotel accommodations and $1,500 in spending money.

I believe the package is valued at $16,000.

[MicroBob]

Yes...monte Carlo is a $16k package.

So most (all??) of the other prizes are in the $0.016/FPP range almost exactly.

I'm guessing the 6 nights hotel stay is a pretty pricey mandatory extra that is included in the package (along with the spending money)?
because I was pretty sure it's just a $10k or $10.2k tourney but it is definitely a $16k total prize.
