How to keep track of promotions, multi-point days, etc.

#1

I have found that Google Calendar works extraordinarily well for organizing
the confusing mess of casino events, multi-point days, free play days,
gifts, and other assorted promotions.

It lets you set weekly events, multi-times-a-week repeating events, either
infinite or with specific end dates, it's totally searchable and you can
even set it up to e-mail you your daily agenda (at 430 in the morning), or
send you reminders directly to your cell phone!

When I get a casino mailer, I immediately sit down at my computer and make
entries for all the promotions and special events and whatnot that interest
me. Then I print out my daily agenda in the morning and simply highlight
the items of most interest to me.

Anyone else using Google Calendar to manage the run-over-town chaos of
advantage play?

Thanks.

I've had this problem for some time, with innumerous AC casino
mailings. I missed some offers for lack of planning. I tried it with
Yahoo calendar but didn't find it convenient.

I will try the Google calendar.

I keep a color-coded calendar in an Excel spreadsheet...works pretty
good.

I respectfully suggest to read Google's privacy policy carefully
before signing up. It's unacceptable to me. But hey, I might be paranoid.

I guess a color coded sheet in Excel is much simpler, and wouldn't need
web access to look it up and has no privacy issues. At the same time,
it needs a bit more effort on your part, which is a good thing.

I read Google's privacy policy when I signed up for my Gmail account. I
found nothing in it to be unacceptable. Can you please share with us what
is unacceptable to you in their privacy policy?

Off the top of my head without rereading the policy:

- They store the bulk of your information forever. You have no way to
get it deleted.
- They don't tell you where they store your informtion and which laws
are applicable. If they have servers in China for example, chinese law
might apply.
- They identify you with an "immortal" cookie.
- They have the right to store all URLs you are visiting if they can
get their hands on them. Are you using their "free" toolbar for
Internet Explorer ? It sends all visited URLs to Google.
- They are not answering questions about their privacy policy.
- They store much more information than necessary. This includes all
the information from Google searches, even if you never signed up for
a Google account.
- They have the right to process your information in any way to
maximize advertising revenue.

I'm already sorry for bringing this up on a video poker forum. I'm not
going to discuss this any further. Google is providing some excellent
services. Everybody should decide for themselves wether these services
are worth the potential loss of privacy.
