I remember one guy full in PS stuff and I'm still sorry I didn't take a picture
Well it's like this:
25000 FPP = $285 bonus. (which is what I'd work to get instead)
I need to go shopping for clothes. Just need a whole lot of new stuff, cause current stuff is getting old.
25000 FPP = 41.6 T-shirts (Though I'm not going to buy that many

Just an example)
Now R2000-2200 is what a normal trip to the shops to load up on standard (nothing fancy) clothes costs.
now, $285 = R2122 (local currency) = 21.2 - 28.3 T-shirts @ R75-R100 (normal price for standard quality, once again, nothing fancy)
So considering that money in my Stars account, money in my bank and money in my wallet is just that... money. It really doesn't matter to me which money I spend. Technically, this could save money. As 25000 FPP worth of clothes > 25000 FRR $ bonus, in real-money terms

Only thing is I could move up in the limits if I get that bonus... or summin. Meh, maybe I'll just buy like 1 t-shirt and see for myself, instead of getting into all this strange talk.
