The last two drawing periods, I have swiped about 30 times each and
have not closed a path. Previously it would give me a closure after
as few as 5 swipes. I see from a previous post that this promotion
was probably degraded due to abuse. I see many of the locals with all
of the first and second rings filled but no closures. Yet I have also
seen a closure with only 5 icons. It appears that I am on the local
abusers list. Is there some trick to getting off the "abuser" list?
I seldom pick-up the trinkets (key chains, "gold" bar, "gold" bottle,
pen, bungee cord, cards) anymore. Should one always pick these up, so
they know you are actually present? I usually get my full 6 swipes on
the days I am there- I will try reducing that to see if it has an
affect. I won during the first trip & lost the 2nd -- still up $2k
for the year with $30k CI. Maybe the winning trip put be on the "bad"
list?
