The Gold Coast has returned to a month-to-month rating system instead of
their most recent average of a three month window. The second most important factor is their cutoff date is now the 15th of the month.
As it was explained to me last night, Sept 24th:
The last three month rating period was from June 16th - August 15th inclusive for which we will receive our October coupons.
We just finished our first monthly rating of August 16 - September 15th which will result in our November coupons.
We are in the midst of the September 16 - October 15th month which will be
used for our December coupons.
This may account for some "surprises" to members this past month when their coupon level(s) dropped substantially. They may have played one or two good sessions and the dates fell into two rating periods. In addition, base points must be documented before pulling your card and looking at your new totals. For the Emerald level, the program includes a 3X factor but that is not credited toward your base play coupon mailer.
Knowing the parameters of bounceback rewards is the most important factor is planning your playing schedule and "handle". The Boyd properties will give you the info when asked but do not go out of their way to publicize their system when they make changes.
