I've been subscribed to SWTOR since the start. That includes a break where I did nothing but earn Cartel Coins. I also bought some coins when they were cheap. So, that leaves me with about 11,500 Cartel Coins in my wallet. Now what should I do with them?
Housing. Galactic Strongholds is up on the PTS, so we have a good idea about what things will cost. Unlocking rooms is not cheap. Instead, I could use my Cartel Coins to unlock the rest of my Nar Shadaa rooms. It'll cost close to 7k coins or 6.5 million credits.
Hoard. I could spend nothing and keep hoarding my coins for some unknown future purchase.
Hypercrate. I could buy 24 Cartel Packs. That'll cost roughly 5k coins. I could then open them all, or sell the whole thing on the GTN for a few million credits. I'm not sure how I feel about trading coins for credits. Feels way too much like buying gold.
So what should I do with my Cartel Coins? Too bad they don't get interest.

Burning a hole in my pocket
