Station and Fiesta

#1

I am at the President level at Station and am a Macho Millionaire at
Fiesta.
I get their mail and there has been absolutely NO mention of reduction
of points or of mailers.
Every one speaks as if this is a fait accompli.
Absolutely NOTHING official.

If the reduction were a fact, wouldn't there have been notification?

Also, if points are reduced, does that mean that the mailers will be
reduced?

Multiple point days do NOT influence mailers. Will reduction of
points work the same way. Only coin in counts currently.

Just to add a few comments. We just returned, literally, from a trip to Fiesta Henderson. During a conversation with the casino host I was in a position to elicit several noteworthy items.

First, let me preface my comments. I am not a high roller. I will typically put $7000 coin-in a day and do that for two days.

She confirmed that they have no problem comping my room. HOWEVER, she continued, "Since all you play is full pay machines, we can't comp your meals as well. We now have to scrutinize accounts where players only play full-pay machines."

She was very courteous and informed my I was welcome to charge it to my points, but that discretionary meal comps no longer are allowed under the above circumstances. There was mention of linking all the databases of Fiesta and Station's other casinos in January. Her words were, "We hear that every year about this time. " <G>

The database for VPfree might be noted that for RFLB $5000 coin-in is about average, but that meals will depend on "other" play in the casino, meaning slots or table play. Players who exclusively play only full-pay VP will be judged accordingly.

While I am getting my rooms comped, I've been there for three trips now [oct,nov and this trip] and not received any kind of mailing or offers. I wonder why? Am I just "between mailings" or is my choice to only play 100% plus machines also affecting my mailings?

AFAIK there hasn't been a reduction yet. Stations personnel say it
will take effect on 1 JAN. It's been reported that a letter explaining
the point reduction will be mailed to customers soon. From a PR point
of view, the sooner they get the official word out, the better.

Also, if points are reduced, does that mean that the mailers will be
reduced?

This may not be decided yet, but indications are that mailings and
reward levels will continue to be based on coin-in.

SOME MORE FUEL FOR THE FIRE: Informed sources at Stations
say that the Fiesta Amigo card will be merged with the Stations
Boarding Pass card within the next few months. What this will do
to the monthly mailings is unknown.

I just returned from from a visit to Palace Station. A mediocre VP
inventory has been degraded even further. Several banks of DB that
were there in July are gone, and so is a Double Deuces progressive
I used to play occasionally. More to the point, almost all the
remaining 100% machines were adorned with little red signs stating
that points would accumulate at this rate: $2 in = 1 point.
