I checked the coin-in per tier credit today at Suncoast and found no
change at all. They don't have any 9/6 JoB that I know of, so I played
8/5 BP and it still took just over $60 coin-in per tier credit.
In the last few days, many of us got an increase in tier credits.

Enjoy the latest new B Connected benefit and carry over Tier Credits
from your 2018 balance.*
Example:
If your year-end Tier Credit balance is 18,000, you’re eligible for
3,000 Carryover Tier Credits (18,000 - 15,000 = 3,000).
If your year-end Tier Credit balance is 280,000, you’re eligible for
50,000 Carryover Tier Credits (280,000 - 200,000 = 50,000 Max).
*Your balance will be set to zero on January 1, 2019, and Carryover
Tier Credits will be awarded no later than February 28, 2019. See B
Connected for details.
I remember right after the change over that people on this board were
able to calculate the amount of play needed for a tier credit on
various games. I think this accrual rate has changed as my tier credit
total which was about 42,000 before the change became about 370 after
but has been upped to 760 recently. This has happened with no play
since July.
I had pretty much blown off Main St Station as at the end of this year
I would have dropped to Ruby and never been able to get back to
Sapphire on my two or three trips to Vegas a year. Someone on another
board thought that about $40 of play would earn a tier credit playing
FPJOB but not living in Vegas I can't check this myself. If true this
is a lot better than the $106 or so needed after the first change.
I hope someone who plays JOB at Boyd properties regularly will recheck
the coin in needed for a tier credit and let us know. I may continue
to play there if I can still earn the Beconnected points.
