Station Casino points earned after 2/14/2008 can be redeemed for free play. 1000 points = $1 free play.
The same is true for Fiesta points but their ratio is 600 points = $1 free play.
You should be able to convert points to free play at any kiosk. If not, go to the Rewards Center or Amigo Club.

used, such
as free play or gift cards (no need to spend points on
rooms or food,
since those are comp'd directly, and buying stuff in
the casino gift
shop doesn't seem very worthwhile to me... although at
the end of it
all, perhaps that is the best alternative in some cases?).Can anyone give me some specific suggestions about
productive ways to use points at these casinos?a) Harrahs: I think in the past I've read about
possible conversions
to gift cards? (But not in Vegas? If so, can the conversion
be done
on the web or phone, or do you have to visit a non-Vegas
property?)
Any other productive ways to use these points?b) Fiesta: I think that some points (earned after a certain
date?)
can be converted to free play? If so, at what ratio? And if
that is
true, what about older points-- what might they be used
for, if not hotel stays or food?c) Stations: Are the alternatives here identical to the
Fiesta points? Any other possibilities?Thanks for your help with this.
