Stations - New Slot Club Calculations

#1

So do I have this straight: The new calculation: $1 coin-in = 1 point but there are always 3x points so it is the same value as the old $1 coin-in = 3 points calculation. Still .3% slot club benefit. However, it would take you 3 times as long to reach a higher tier level because tier level (status credits) calculations are based on base points and don’t include multipliers. And it will be a negative for any benefits or promotions that are based on base points.

Wonder if many of us who are no-mailed will be excluded from the “always 3x points.”

Very tricky of them – 3x points all the time is a great advertising gimmick!!! Many won’t realize they have changed the basic calculation.

Tier score for video poker has been $1=1 point for a while now, so there is
no change in the new system. It's in the explanatory brochure at the slot
club, but you have to search for it.

I was just told that "base points" includes the 3x.

Or, was it since then – and was it publicized at all???)

Oops – conflicting information – this is giving me a headache again!!!

It was a boothling who also gave me wrong information about the point
challenge at the Santa Fe Station.
