Good report on the Palms points. One addition - you can swipe your card at Ben and Jerry's as well as the pizza place - the rest of the food court places you will need to go to slot club desk first to get a comp.
However, I do have one BIG piece of comp news - at least more convenient. You can now get gift CARDS at the gift shop instead of the gift certificates. So much more convenient. They just switched over and I'm not sure of all the details yet - but on the one card we got it says you can fill a card for, I think, a max of $500 or $600. This way you don't waste any value, i.e., not using the whole amount of a gift certificate.
I'm not sure of all the places you can use this card - probably same as you could use certificates plus salon and spa (they used to have separate certificates) but it doesn't have a list on the card. Maybe not Alize, Nine, Ghost Bar, Rain - any place that Nine Group owns - but you can buy gift cards for those at the Skin Shop near Nine.
This new gift card has a Discover logo on it - and after so many months on back of card it says they start taking off a fee - not sure if that means they would start taking off point value. Someone needs to clarify that - and find out where all it can be used.
