********************************

At this year's annual "state of the property" meeting that
some/most/all (?) Station properties do, the following was
announced:

Starting February 14th, Boarding Pass points can be converted in
to slot/vp free play at the rate of 1000 points = $1.

Points accumulated from table games and poker will not count
towards this free play.

You swipe in your card at a "my rewards" kiosk and then the free
play is loaded on to your card. You have 90 days to use it.

Other comps will still have the usual rate of 600 points = $1 or
1000 points = $1 (depending on what/where)

Also starting February 14th, when you're you playing on free play
dollars, your play will generate Boarding Pass points, which can
then be used towards more free play. Point multipliers will also
count. I think there will be a kickoff promotion of 7X points
from the 14th to the 17th (every day).

I wonder if this has anything to do with the ad campaign that Boyd is
using with their Coast properties. Lots of 7X and even 8X points
promos. Hopefully if this comes to fruition this will be good news
for all.

A private email to vpfae reported: Starting February 14th, Boarding Pass

I have no specific knowledge of this promotion --- but it is very
unlikely that it is open-ended. They limit the points you can use for
travel to $3,000 or $4,000 a year. I would suspect a similar limit on
this promotion. There are several Chairman players with balances
sufficient to qualify for $20,000 or more in cash because Station points
in quantity are largely unusable. Allowing players to cash in otherwise
unusable points is very un-Station-like.
