This assumes things haven't changed much in the last few months as I haven't been playing much at all. For the record, I have made GS a few times.

Oh yeah, I forgot about FPP vs. VPP. That makes sense. I figured it was like that... if the bonus points did count, I was thinking making GS would be pretty easy. I'm going to easily make SS this month. If I didn't have a gf I'd probably make GS pretty easily. And this is at $25NL. I'm thinking rakeback on FTP is probably better right now, at least until (if) I can work my way up to higher stakes.
