Seeing as they are soulbound and some people have reached beloved with every major zone reputation, these items have the potential to become useless.
 
Three suggestions for possible future uses:
Allow players to trade them in for a small amount of currency at the reputation vendors if they are maxed out
Allow the tokens to be used for the minor reputation factions (Lopp, Freebots, Protostar, Free Traders, and Big Game Hunters)
Make the items account-bound or not bound at all, allowing for trading/selling

			I have 150+ sitting in my bank. I'm maxed on every rep they can be used on

			I hope they will do something for that, because if not I can see another "problem" for new futur content.If they put the npc to echange them for reput directly when there will be a new faction, a lot of people will directly be esteemed and will skip most of a new content zone. They should give us the ability to use them for other things, it could be gold, dye bags, renow,... to avoid this futur problem.

Dear Carbine,
 
What am i to do with all of the Protostar Promissory Notes that are piling up in my already very limited bank space? I'm starting on stack 6 at the time I'm writing this post. I know many others besides myself also have this issue because we have maxed out all the Reps available and also hear them complain about not having any use for the notes.
 
I'd like to suggest an idea that would more than likely increase peoples time playing your wonderful game!
 
Make the notes account bound and tradeable/able to mail to your alts making grinding out those factions for ability and amp points less of a hassle. This will make current and future players more inclined to make and level alts because the daunting task of getting those amp and ability points will be less of a chore.
 
If that is to difficult what if there was an item that was sold from the rep vendor in the beloved rep section that we could could buy with the Protostar Promissary Notes to mail to our alts. This way it ensures that we have that character maxed out with rep so we don't have someone with 8 alts just doing the contracts and feeding the notes to 1 character at a time. They will have had to do the content on a character first!	
----
			Everything in excess defaults to money, so why not allow exchange for gold or eg too? Not everyone has tons of alts or uses rep.

I agree 100% with making them account-bound so your alts can use them. That would make them useful for a long long long long long time.
 
Don't agree with making them fully tradeable though... Then people could buy loyalty to factions, and that's just wrong if you think about it.

I'm presuming we will be able to use our magnificent stockpiles on the next daily areas. Maybe if we store enough we will be able to completely skip those zones! HARDCORE!.
 
Disclaimer: I do not have a magnificent stockpile.

			I was so happy thinking I could raise my Lopp rep  :( !

I was one of these unfortunate players that ground the daily zones for rep before this feature was implemented.  At drop 5's release I had every reputation maxed and soon realized how little use I could get out of the promissory notes.
 
Of course I could have spent them in Star-Comm Basin, but the contracts themselves kept sending me to that zone so I simply did the dailies along with them. Soon I had that maxed that rep out as well.  As of this writing, within the next few days, I will have amassed a total 640 promissory notes in my bank.  For the math majors out there: 640 notes * 50 rep/note = 32,000 reputation. Which means, I already have the reputation of the next zone completed, even before it was released or even announced.  
 
Honestly, If something isn't implemented soon. I will just be destroying these notes as I receive them from contracts.  
 
The system itself is a good one and alleviates a lot of the rep grind that can plague new players and alts. But the contracts should be more flexible for someone who focuses on one character.	
----
			I agree with this. It's really unfortunate that those that already maxed out their reps can't use them.

Maybe if we could trade these in for glory?
 
Oh wait . . .

			I suppose you could use them to wipe your ass if you run out of protostar toilet paper.
