According to the information I obtained from Michael Breakey, Karen
Dirindin
and others, bounce back is based on 2 months.
Apparently different people are being told different things. The last
time I inquired no mention was made of "2" months. Are you sure this
isn't the old policy, i.e. the one before the system was revamped
earlier this year? Also a 2 month period doesn't synch with 1 month
coupons because there will always be 1 month of overlap. How is that
overlap being dealt with?
For July cash, your play from
April and May was evaluated. I did not get any checks in the mail
for the
month of March because I hadn't played in Dec or Jan. What I can't
understand is why my bounceback has dropped to 4 X 100 when I have
played
about $75,000 coin in more than for the months I received 4 X 125 in
coupons.
It seems that some comps (hotel expenses?) are being counted against my
bounce back or maybe win/loss record is also taken into account.
Food comps don't count against the bounceback and neither should other
forms of comps as I was explicitly told by the slot club that my level
of play qualifies for all sorts of comps such as hotel stays. It could
be that unless someone reaches that level comps may be granted if
asked for, but are as you speculated deducted from the bounceback.
That however was not mentioned in the faq sheet mailed out several
months ago. The best way to lay all this to rest is to keep accurate
records in case coupons inexplicably fall below what you expect.
