I think you may be onto something here. Cashing a big check at Stations may trigger bigger free play mailers for locals. Playing slots instead of video poker may also be a help.
Stations has been trying some new marketing ideas like the double your free play offer you also mentioned. Starting tomorrow they have a daily swipe promotion at all Stations and Fiestas. Ticket dispensers have been added to the My Rewards kiosks for this promo.

I have direct deposit set up for all but about $300 of my pay check, which I
receive as a paper check so I can take advantage of various pay check
cashing promos. I have a Stations President card, although I've cut back my
play in recent months.My wife recently started working a new job, and she cashed her pay checks at
Station Casinos until her direct deposit got going to avoid bank holds. Her
checks ranged from $1500 up to $2800. She has a Stations Gold card and has
NEVER given them any significant play.At about a month after she started cashing her pay checks at Station
Casinos, her mail offers skyrocketed. In fact, her mail offers are now
usually 1.5x to 2x better than mine.I'm wondering if cashing a higher $$ pay check at Stations will get you
better offers?? I can't think of anything else that's changed, and they
certainly don't have any incentive to send her offers that are better than
mine, since she never plays more than $20 in a slot machine maybe once every
week or two.Any thoughts?
