Stations March Mailer - YUCKY!!

Just got mine today. Just made President for the first time this month. My
play has been steadily increasing from one month to the next. This is the
crappiest mailer I've received since I first turned Platinum!

4x $30 days, plus two mystery days.

Lots of point multiplier days:
2 6x Days
3 5x Days
2 4x Days
6 3x Days

Oh yeah...I only got 1 dining coupon for the month instead of two.

Play went WAY up, offers went WAY down. Actually, my offers basically got
HALVED! :frowning:

Guess this is the "price" we pay to be able to change our points for "free
play."

THIS STINKS!!

If your March Stations locals mailer is different than you
expected, it may be because they have changed the criteria for
mailers. They are now using theo rather than base points to
determine mailer levels.

===============================
Our mailers came today......They're a joke! With $350,000 coin-in for
the previous 90 days, playing their best full point game of 8/5 Bonus.
Something else is going on here? My wife's play was $208,000 for the
90 day qualifying period and she got double the free play, playing
next to me on the very same 8/5 bonus machines. Oh, did I mention that
my free play went from 7 x $50 plus five mystery days to 3 x $15 and
three mystery money days. It remains to be seen what the total for the
month will be. There are 2 6x points, 2 5x points, 2 4x points and 6
3x points days. I'm thinking it's time to move on to a new home
casino? Most of you have already done that back in '04 when the points
were halved! I'll also do some checking with marketing to see if this
mailer is correct. Something ain't right at GVR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and don't try to say, maybe you were ahead cuz I wasn't. I just
hit two royals yesterday after going 56 days without one. My wife's
last royal was 12/1 so it's been bloody. We gamble for fun, not profit
and I can afford the loss but there's much better deals out there me
thinks?

I'm pissed!

Our March mailers from Stations had similiar reductions.

I had 7 x $50 free play and 6 mystery plays in February...reduced to
4 x $30 free play and 3 mystery plays in March.

Wife had 6 x $50 free play and 6 mystery plays in February...reduced
to 4 x $30 free play and 2 mystery plays in March.

Does anyone have a contact name in Marketing we can complain to?

How about complaining with your wallet and not going
there?

I'm betting she'll write back that Stations could never afford to give
the same levels of bounce back free play AND let you use points for
free play too? For what it's worth, I'm re-evaluating my play level at
Stations. It's just not fun anymore! Many of the higher level players
at GVR already came to that conclusion.

That is certainly an option that will be considered...but this is the
first month of the mailers based on "theo"...if there are enough
complaints...who knows? nothing is cast in stone. Lets see what shakes
out in the next few months.

Has anyone gotten their Fiesta mailers for March? Did the same thing
happen?

Chances are, your President level won't be reflected in your mailers
until next month.
