I'm Sagamore and I got the two $100 shopping cards....had also received the
offer for the cookware but I was away and I couldn't take advantage of it.
As I've said before, raising the points earned to $140 will probably shut me
out from Sagamore next time and I don't plan on chasing that level. I've had a
decent year at the Sun, last visit was a losing one, but the one before it
resulted in a $ royal, I'm definitely ahead for this year. My problem is
that I rarely do an overnight, so I'm usually just there for a morning - not
the greatest thing for theo.

Don,
As I told you, I also got the cookware, and I'm just a lowly Wolf
now. No New Year's Eve Party invite, of course.
Regarding shopping, I got $100 for each, but Lisa & I are doing an
overnight on 12/14, so I can take advantage of both coupons [one
expires on 12/14, the other starts on the 15th].
When we met on Sunday, it seemed like I just wasn't getting the
cards........we can play perfect, but if Lady Luck ain't with you, it
can be a little depressing as well as expensive. No hand pays, $1800
down for me for 6 hours of play & 130 pts. Ah, well. Last 2 trips
were both losers, but with RF in Jan. and some smaller wins, I'm
still a bit ahead for the year.
Regarding the lounges, we only went to open air lounge in Earth
[Arrowhead?] for b'fast, and I couldn't see any difference in food or
service. I haven't gone into the Wind lounge yet.
IMHO, if MS wants to keep the higher level players, they're going to
have to be a little more generous. If, OTOH, with gas prices down,
they'd rather cater to the buses & .25 & less players, the comps are
going to go down.
I'm still satisfied with what I get, but raising the bar to $140/pt
CI means that getting back to Sag isn't likely to happen with my ~12
playing days/year. However, if MS offers some more "gift days", I
might be interested in more day trips...if I like the "gifts"
Just my .02....
Regards,
Ted

Judy and I each got $200 for each shopping period. Judy got an
invite to the New Years Eve Party, but I didn't. I got the Pots
and
Pans, and Judy got the Cam Corder, which she was unable to pick
up.
I am clearly losing interest in play, and don't feel my treatment
for
my play is that good. They love Judy, and she had also gotten a
GPS
earlier in the year. Daily play is obviously the key. I was
talking
to a Baccarat Sachem(33rd fl entrant), and he had some short period
plays, and they cut his 33rd floor. He has had calls from many
senior personal, to offer him new extras.The lounges are dropping in quality or staff. First they closed
the
non-smoking lounge for breakfast Monday-Friday. The Staff has been
cut in the new casino lounge after they upgraded it. Drink service
has dropped, tables are left dirty, food runs out, plus obviously
the
ยทยทยท
smoking.
Times are getting tougher, and my play interest is waning.
How is everyone else feeling?
Have a great day, and a great T-day. Ciao Don
