Be aware that mailers are based on 3 months of play and I believe the month
starts something like the 4th day of the month. No play on days you redeem
your free play appears to go against you, however I don't believe you need to
play on all days you get cashback, since we got a nice mailing when we didn't
play on many free play days (card pulled after redemption), but then we had a lot
of play on $1 triple/five play machines. You are rewarded more for play on
reel slots than on VP, and more for non 100% VP than 100%+ VP. Probably play
on higher demoninations counts for more than lower demoninations. Due to major
emphasis on daily average, it could be that if you had 1 session during 3
months of $25,000 through you'd be better off than 5 sessions of $5,000 through
each time, regardless of what you did on free play days.
To maximize free play you definitely need to maximize your play each time you
do play rather than deminish your daily average by running in and playing for
5 minutes on a free play day.
Even if you get 0 free play, on days where there is an email advertising
additional free play, you will probably find you have free play on that day.
I don't think using your card for a meal or turning in a postcard deminishes
your "daily average" but I could be wrong.
