more re Gold Coast -- I'm even more confused.

#1

Despite the talk I had with head of GC coast club, Jen Yee, Our mailers for
Feb. still didn't jibe with what she and coast booth sead.

In Dec. I had $19624 coin in, and 59996 points. According to coast, I
should have qualified for "C" mailer ($15000 coin in), yet I got a B mailer again!
(just like last month when I got a B but had less than the $27000 coin in
they say gets you B).

B for this month was very good with 3 $20 off food coupons, 2 buffet
coupons for 2 free buffets each, 4 periods of $30 instant credits, free gift
(candle), 2 free show tix (Lena Prima), also Mystery Instant Credits on Feb. 8.

Meanwhile my husband had $11799 coin in. According to coast booth and Jen
Yee, he should have qualified for D mailer ($6700 coin in). But instead he
gets an E mailer!!!! I don't get it! E is a bad mailer with only $5 off
restaurant for short period, 2 $5 instant credits for short periods, and 2
2-for-1 buffet.
---------

Also husband and myself have different extra point days to some extent.
Seems like everyone gets 8X points on Feb. 7 Chinese New Year, 6x on Feb. 29
Leap day, 7X from 14-18th. Others vary.
--------

Due to weird mailers, I still don't know if it is worthwhile to play or not.
As it happens, as we waited to eat at buffet today I put in $40 on the FP
quarter deuces and hit 4 deuces twice! And we love the GC. But is it
worthwhile?

Before changes we would each play $10,000+ through a month and get
approximately $50-75 in instant credits and $50 in food coupons, if not more. Even if
you consider that it is coin in now versus coin out. Let's say I had lost
$2000 to get $10,000 coin out (thus playing $12000 coin in equivalent). At
.003 cashback rate, the difference is $6 in more cashback now. Even with 6X
points (equivalent to 2X points in the old system), that is only $12. But if
we lose the $50-75 in instant credits plus food, we have lost a lot.

We may very well be better off to put $20,000 through at the Wynn and get
their extra cashback for locals, plus assorted comps. Or the Venetian with
their weekly (in general - it varies from month to month) locals extra cashback
mailings. Plus assorted slot tournaments.

Hard to compute this. But if I can get the "B" mailer for some X amount
that isn't that much more than the old $12,000 coin in (equivalent to 10,000
coin out - assuming a bad loss rate of 20%), than I'm better off to stick with
the GC.

Arrgh!

I guess I will try calling Jen Yee yet again to see if I can get any
sensible answer or the name of someone who does know.

Meanwhile, very annoying. (But I am smiling about 2 sets of deuces and good
buffet tonight).

My only significant play at Sun Coast was in December...got about 50K points
for my play. My mailer that I received a couple days ago included:

$75 in free play, spread over three periods where I can redeem $25 each.
$25 restaurant coupon good anytime in February.
2 Free Sun Coast Showroom tickets.

What mailer level is this? Being relatively new to Coasts, I'm just
wondering if this is a good offer for my play vs other casinos. And is
their food/rooms any good? How do they compare to Red Rock, for example?

BTW, I always seem to have quad droughts when I play at Sun Coast. I did
get a Royal there holding one card, but that's about as lucky as I've been
there.

Cheers,
Nathan

Nathan,
My first and only time playing there was Sunday the 27th, my second
of six days in Vegas this trip. I played there because of the 7x
point promo so I did not return there the rest of the trip. Figured
the odds were against me since I hit Quad deuces three times: Twice
in 30 minutes, on different machines (then went to a movie--There
Will be Blood--Excellent--big thumbs up) and then after the movie, I
hit it again on a different machine, all FPDW machines. This helped
make up for my deuces drought during my last Vegas trip in November
(4 days). I got another 25 cent one at the Cannery on Monday and a 5
cent one on a STP machine at the Flamingo later in the trip. No
Royals but ended up with 4 to a Royal about 15-20 times during my
stay (~10,000 hands). I played for the first time at Suncoast,
Cannery, and Palace Station. I also played at Silverton, Flamingo,
and the Palms. I was comped for my Room all six nights and look
forward to see what type of mailers I get the next couple of months.
I am by no means a high roller so I do not expect much, just curious
to see what I get. My gambling bankroll(cash) ended the trip $17 in
the black so the trip was a success. I used a fair amount of coupons
also from ACG and POV.
I had a flight takeoff delay Friday of 4+hours to get from Vegas to
Milwaukee. My flight arrived in Milwaukee 10 minutes after my
scheduled flight to KC had left. 1.5 hours later my new flight to KC
left and I got to KC about 3.5 hours later than originally
scheduled. Now the trip will be a total success if Midwest can find
my luggage.
Thanks,
Bill (40wnks)

I forgot and left out that I played at the Gold Coast also for the
first time. Thought I would see if I could get the 4OAK 100 point
promo. I could not get the four natural fives that I needed. Oh
well...

Congrats on your nice streak!! Eat some Arthur Bryants or Jack Stack for
me, eh? :slight_smile:

Thanks, though I am more of a "Gates" type of guy. $17 should be just
about right for a full slab of ribs. Wow Nathan, what a great idea :wink:

yea they are pretty messed up at the gc...i should have got the c
mailer based on dec play but got d instead...maybe they are averaging
several months....

the gc also wasn't able to give me my proper slot card, so i asked at
the sc and they were able to look up my actual play and give me the
correct card...

#8

you get that mailer for 10k coin in....at least for now...

#9

mailers are based on 90 days according to the slot club...so it looks
like another month before i get the mailer i thought i would...

No, tier levels are based on a rolling 90 days. Mailers are still based on play during the month 2 months before the mailer (i.e. January play generates March mailers), Of course, that's for GC, Orleans and Suncoast. Sam's is different.
