DO you think I 'd honestly advise someone to take up a deal that ties them in so that they could only use it on one site and require a payment to unlock it for other sites.

Do you honestly think a site such as cardrunners would do that and risk the outrage and backlash from the poker community when it emerged that that was what they were doing .?

Its targetted advice specific to the stakes that the OP is playing but it also works out as a pretty good deal for higher stakes players as well when you can get continuing cardrunners access just for playing .for titan you have to weigh up the value of the cardrunners deal versus other rake race deals at oyther affiliates. for Party alternate rb deals are banned by the network so the cardrunners training works out as a good source of extra rb and your getting training that should pay dividends in your winnings as well.

buying it outright would consume a 5nl bankroll. using the free trials of PT and HEM to use that 5nl bankroll to clear a first deposit bonus at either party or titan and it results in the training video access and a free copy of hem has to be better than paying for it outright.

No reason to get super-defensive, I wasn't implying that the cardrunners deal was this way for sure, I was just throwing it out there as something to watch out for. Who knows, maybe someone reads this thread and ends up seeing some other site offer for a free tracker.

And as you've explained the requirement to rake $100 before getting the tracker could be difficult for some people achieve depending on their volume (which equates to over $1000 in bets), so if their free trials ran out and the hadn't raked enough by that point then they would be stuck without a tracker in the interim; why I said just better to buy it outright imo. But for the right person, who plays high volume and could achieve the required rake in short order might make a good fit. Never meant any disrespect.
