Hello, in my opinion the advantage to be a member W3 addition to earning 5TC & 50 monthly MRP with a very small cost price (which is just the cost of shipping) is that accumulating along with TC won with T-TIME, you can participate in the auctions doubles, 1 TC ??= 10 MRP in order to reach the 126 MRP and make buying 1 single TC equivalent to 102 VP. With the VP 102 or more you have a chance to get to 1500 VP later this month with more ease, thus maintaining its rank Ea or EA2.
