I think in the past you can collect your rakeback points and the buy merchendise. Things like cards, shirt, caps and also cars.
Yes, I remember that there was a Porsche Cayman in the rewards store in late 2013, and I even remember that MJPerry posted a poem on Pokerstrategy on Christmas Eve that year, which was about a grinder who was trying to collect the points for that Porsche. It implied that it cost a million VPPs, which were what those "player points" were called back then*. That's the price I would have remembered too.
There was plenty of other good stuff as well, at least my NL10 Zoom grind back then was enough to get me a Pokerstars branded leather jacket from the store, I still have that one.
*EDIT: Nevermind, the poem mentioned FPPs and VPPs, and if I remember correctly, the FPPs were the "currency" used in the store, while the VPPs determined your rank (Bronze, Chrome, Silver etc, and then of course Supernova and Supernova Elite). The 1 million VPPs refer to the points needed for Supernova Elite, which may have been a prerequisite for the Porsche Cayman from the store, not sure.
