Unless you're playing nanostakes, play on Stars, and what you earn by not paying a shitload of rake like on any other site, you can use that 'saved' rake to buy a subscription for PS.
Let's say that you play .25/.5 and pay 3BB/100 rake on Stars, while 4BB/100 on Party. (The numbers are not accurate at all, look them up in your HEM or online or ask around, haven't played those stakes in ages - however the rake difference is probably close to accurate.) If you play say 15k hands/month, this way you "win" 1BB/100 just by not raking it, which is 150BB/month(!!!) = $75. Just go ahead and buy a subscription for gold status, and you'll get all the material without paying way way way more in rake than what you could for the status.
