My wife and I visited MS this last Friday to take avantage of the 5X
points offer. We both played on my card since she was only offered
3X. I had brought an old players card and it told me to stop by and
update my card. It appeared the points weren't multiplying so we
left our Don & Mikes quarter machines to go check. I learned from
the player's desk that the 5X only counts for cash back now. They
no longer credit you point total for superstar status. Seems they
have too many superstars. We also notice some week's cash back is
only through promo and not actual cash.
We went back to Don & Mikes only to find the over $1700 progressive
had been hit. Talk about a bummer!!! We took a day off work to
travel two hours and play so we could keep our status only to find
out MS really doesn't care. Consequentially we played some at
Trumps that night, plus Trumps had a $5 Let it Ride table. We also
visited Resorts on Saturday after a comped night at MS and spent
some there.
We have always liked MS, but they don't seem to care for us
anymore. Resorts and Trumps have both improved their VP. We played
9-6 JOB at both places. I figure I can pay for our room and meals
for less than we're losing at VP. If nothing else they convinced me
to only play quarters and leave the dolars to the true superstars.
Hope you all fare better.
