Harrahs considers higher level card

#1

I understand that they have had a "de facto" higher diamond level at
100,000 tier score. (I barely get the 10,000 each year but the local
Harrah's just destroyed all their playable VP so it will not happen this
year.) I completely agree with your last six lines. ("More" should be
called "Less"!)

Subject: [vpFREE] Harrahs considers higher level card

I got a survey from Harrahs. They are considering adding another
tier above diamond. If you get one of these surveys, I suggest you
consider not just your best answer, but the answer most likely to
influence them to do what you want them to do.

Most of what they would offer I consider to be fluff. I personally
think that another tier would likely result in a further dilution of
cashback and comps to "pay" for the new benefits. If you wouldn't
qualify (they don'e hint at the level of play required), it obviously
is at best a neutral but probably a negative.

There are some essay questions. I always feel free to ignore the
question and editorialize about whatever I want. I use every Harrahs
survey as an opportunity to complain about:

Generally confusing slot club
low and mysterious cashback
lack of same day cashback
fast expiring cashback
low comp point accumulation
highly restrictive offers

I think VP players should give Harrah's a simple message: until they start making decent VP available, we will have nothing to do with them.

Excellent idea, and we all know how much good the "boycott" of Coast
Casinos has helped that situation. The only way casinos are going to
change is if we have another 9/11 or the U.S. economy goes completely
into the trash can. The casinos would then start fighting for
customers again and you would probably see better RFP, cash back and
pay tables. But that is the only way. When over 98% of the gambling
public doesn't care or take the time to learn, groups like us are
nothing more than a very small fart in a very large wind storm.
However, that does not mean we should stop trying.
