The October mailers for the Soaring Eagle in Michigan had reduced comps and cashback. For Platinum members, free buffet coupons were eliminated, though cashback was actually increased by $5. For gold members, instead of weekly cashback, it is now semiweekly or monthly, depending on play. We heard MANY complaints, many customers who swore they would never return. Of course, that remains to be seen.
Soaring Eagle Mailers
You are right they have really reduced the comps at the Soaring Eagle. They also quit paying double cashback comps on your birthday. I still attend about once a week instead of two or three times. Was lucky enough to hit a progressive a few weeks ago but I have noticed attendance has really dropped in the past six months. I also have heard many complaints. Still the only game in town.

Yep, they even reduced the bonus for anniversaries! They claim they are losing money. Too bad they haven't heard the way to get people to come in is to offer MORE, not less. Saginaw is considering a casino. Hope it goes through. SE needs some old fashioned competition.
