I hit black card last night...

ironman and blackcard are two different programs. they do not affect each other.

if i recall correctly, cash bonuses were the best value or concierge (carte blanch).

the best way i have heard for use of ironman medals is to purchase the points and use the points towards cash bonuses for the $600+ bonuses.

your MGR is affected, so you'll only get 73% of the bonus after rakeback.

The tiers for how many days you have to clear a Black Card bonus are as follows:

$5000 - 180 days - 695 pts a day $2000 - 90 days - 556 pts a day $1000 - 50 days - 500 pts a day $500 - 30 days - 417 pts a day

Here's the thread dedicated to the Black Card Program on 2+2 http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/...d-thread-883862/?highlight=black+card

do they send you a physical black card?

yup. it's credit card size with your name on it and it's metal. really a waste of money. i'd rather get the money they paid to get me it than the card itself.

haha ya, they are supposed to send me an actual thing, but i have no clue what I could use that card for. If thats the case I guess I wasted a lot of points towards iron man. Seems kinda dumb that its not automatic registration for ironman. and that you have to register for it by the month.

i did hear that using iron man medals for tourneys was the way to go because of the MGR hit (dunno what MGR is really). Said the 27$ tourney tickets are prob better for iron man. and worth the most $ per ftp

tournament tickets do hit your MGR for tournaments that go over overlay (the guaranteed prize pool) (MGR is the Monthly Gross Rake which means how much you rake in a month) when it is hit, it means they deduct that amount, meaning u get less rakeback)
