Default Empire VIP/Royal Flush Club Questions

I'm posting this here rather than in the zoo so the people who can answer the questions will see this before it is pushed 10 pages deep.

Ok, first question, do you really get twice the rake in points if you are in the VIP club? (+ 20% when you make it to the RF Club?) If so, wow, when I was doing ring games playing 10k raked hands in a day (not that I ever did) would earn me 100 points but playing 25 100+9's gets me 450 and is no big deal for a weekend day. (I am pretty sure I read the site right, but wow! ring game players are really getting screwed in this regard.)

When I make it to the RF Club and am eligible for a monthly $100 bonus, will I have to play ring games to clear it?

What do you spend your points on? Looks like you can exchange them for cash or items or special tourney entries, but I have not done any real valuation of the prizes. Any particularly good/bad ways to spend these things I should be aware of?

No. It's twice what non-VIPers get. So for a 20+2, regular players get 1 point, VIPers get 2. For a 109, a VIPer gets 9.

No. There is no raked hands requirement. It is "free."

Cash.

Can I spend my VIP points and still get the Vegas trip and TV, or do I need to save those for those "major awards."

Thanks!

I just went back and looked and see my flaw: I read the MTT points not the STT points. Still, ring game players are completely hosed when it comes to points. If I had a free day I would play every MTT for a 24 hour period and rake up those frequency points!

The free $100 sounds nice!

The major awards don't require a balance of any points. You just need to earn the points.

How many points do you need for the TV and the Vegas Trips?
