You can buy those things, or you can redeem cash bonuses. The fpps is what you actually use to buy them, but the vpps allow you to accumulate fpps faster. For example if I get 10k vpps/month, which I've done the last 3 months, for each vpp I get 2.5 fpps. Currently working out the math, the rake takes away from my money at a rate of ~2.5 BB/100, meaning if I break even on pokerstars it means I would have won at 2.5 BB/100 at an unraked game. Currently I get back about 0.6 BB/100 in VIP cash bonuses. But now with the double I'm getting back 1.2 BB/100, which is literally about half the rake.

Now if we take it a step further, pretend I was SNE (to get that you need 1 million vpps in a year). Normally you get 5 fpps per vpp, but now that's 10. You are literally getting about 100% of your rake back. And actually it'd be more since supernova's have better value for their fpps. The way I work it out is that they'd be making 2.7 BB/100 if they played 100nl meaning literally pokerstars is paying them to play poker. Understand what's so exciting? :)

Explained above, but VIP status impacts how many fpps you get and fpps can be converted into real money.
