Any here ever been downgraded from Sachem (or know anyone that has
been)? I've had Sachem status since around Feb 2005. Haven't
received my renewal card yet (it expired 9/30 like the rest of you).
Some players are downgraded. I've had my Sachem card since 2001. No
expiration date on the original card. They added the date when they opened the Sky
Casino. Lots of players had earned Sachem cards and never played after
getting them. Only needed to show you card to get into the 2 lounges in the
Earth Casino then. Adding expiration dates on the card solved that problem.
One thing that is interesting with the new renewal cards is that they've
added a statement "To continue your Sachem status, you must maintain your
current level of play. Play is evaluated on a monthly basis." That was never
there on any of my renewals. Either they are covering themselves for denying
someone access to any of the Sachem benefits before the expiration date or they
have increased the number of Sachem players who would not have received a card
before and they are trying to get them to play at a higher level. Or both.
