Anyone know exactly how spending FTP points affects rakeback? Also, does everything involving the points affect my rb like satellites and stuff?

Every point you spend on merchandise deducts $0.005 (1/2 a cent) from your MGR that month. So if you buy an iPod touch for 100,000 points (or whatever they cost) your MGR takes a $500 hit. Since you get 27% of your MGR back in rakeback, your RB takes a $135 hit. If you don't make that much in RB in a given month, most affiliates don't carry a negative balance over to the next month. So it's best to make big points purchases in months you aren't playing very much. I don't know the answer to your second question for sure, but I would guess that any way in which you spend your points will affect your MGR and RB.

At the end of one month I used up all my FTPs on sats for those $26 tokens, and I still got all the RB I was expecting.
Admittedly I wasn't paying that close of attention, but I was expecting $200 RB and got around that. I would imagine that using up basically all my FTPs woulda had SOME noticeable impact on my RB if it was going to.
But yeah...take this anecdote with a grain of salt cause I wasn't paying that much attention, but I certainly would have noticed if I didn't get the $200 RB I was expecting...
