Interesting Palms footnote

We did not play at Palms today, but met friends for dinner there. Since they
were delayed getting there, I played, not using my card. Palms has a
reputation for "tripping" you for short play, thereby lowering a local players cash
back offers.

While waiting for the friends, a marketing employee showed up and offered me
a slot club card. I showed her my card, not in the machine, and told her why
I was playing without my card inserted. I told her I would be penalized for
short play if I used my card. She said she would mention it to
management...Yes! Please do mention it.

A little while later, while still playing without my card in, another
marketing gal showed up wanting to get me a card. I told her the same thing and she
wrote it down and also took my card number which in after thought, was
probably not a good thing. I also told both these ladies that locals were not
treated right. We cannot put in 8 or 10 thousand points every visit. Some times we
only play for an hour or two, other times three or four. I explained to both
ladies that I personally felt they should look at monthly coin in, not visit
(trip) coin in. We want to be loyal, but if we come in for a short visit, we
get burned in the offer department.

I received a letter earlier this year that stated they were going to start
looking at overall monthly coin in. Does anyone know how the new system
will work? Previously it was as VPQQ describes and I would always try and
put max play in on one triple point day/month. That is probably not going
to work anymore to get the highest bounce back cash and other goodies.

<<Does anyone know how the new system

A couple of weeks ago I was told by one supervisory person that "big changes were in the works but the details were not complete yet." March mailings seemed based pretty much on the same things as they had been. Since Big Shot and Super Big Shot cards (or Hot Shots - I can never keep straight the names)are issued for a whole quarter, I am expecting some changes might come in April mailing.
