To prepare for an upcoming trip I've been reviewing the cashback
situation, working from the vpFREE database.The following are discrepancies between the database and Lund's list:
- Aladdin - seems to be .33% ONLY after you've achieved Gold card
status ($30,000 coinin). Otherwise it's 0.25%.
- Caesar's - .25% (Lund) or .227%/.020% (single/multi) per DB.
- Hyatt Regency .125% vs .25%?
- Luxor, Mandalay, Monte Carlo - .33% (Lund) or .25% (vpFREE)?
- Nevada Palace - .25% (Lund) or .125% (vpFREE)?
- Railroad Pass - .50% " or .25% "Can we get some input on which are correct?
I think the vpFREE database might well stand correction for the
following entries:- Circus-Circus vs Slots-a-Fun. Circus shows (for quarter play), $10
coinin per point (= 0.25% CB) while SAF shows $7.50 coinin (= 0.33%
CB). These are common ownership and slot club - shouldn't they be the
same?- Casino Royale - indicates $4 coinout = 1 point, and 400 points = $1
CB. If so, the CB % cannot be .25%. Shouldn't this read 100 points =
$1 CB?- Poker Palace - $.33 coinin per point, 1,000 points = $1 (.10%) does
not compute. $1.00 coinin per point would compute.I made up a cashback chart for my trip (arriving Dec 27). As a
non-local I care about CB, meals and future rooms, but not BB. I play
mainly quarter machines, positive games, so I keyed on that.- it contains all the casinos which offer CB, plus their multi-point
days, and new member signup incentives.

formatting. Yahoo.Groups won't allow attachments.
- if you'd like a copy email me privately and I'll mail you back with

Good research. Here are a couple of observations.
Railroad Pass- has been .25% ($10/point) for a couple of years, but had those
wed/thurs multi-point days.
It is true that Slots-O-Fun is an anomaly in the Mandaly Resort Group family.
I think they are $7.50/pt for .33% cb. All the other Mandalays are $10/pt
for .25%, but have no recent observations.
Of course, MGM/Mirage is the new parent so who knows what will happen next
year to all the One Club casinos.
