My wife is a diamond with ~ 16,500 tier points and I am platinum with around 5,000 tier points. Honestly, we both played her card for the first 14,500 points. We mainly gamble at Horseshoe Southern IN and we NEVER get any free offers. This year we went to that casino frequently and gambled 25 cent - 50 cent DDB VP (usually only single coin). We must be their least desired customer, even though I would guess we are about $4,000 down this year. A typical visit for us is staying hours and getting about 200 tier points. Part of what boosted our points is a couple of vacations where we earned about 5,000 points.
My parents have almost exact same points at same casino and they get regular free offers for $10 - $25 free play. They have friend with fewer points (not diamond), fewer visits and obviously higher daily average that gets much better offers and gets free rooms more frequently than them.
We tried today to get a free room for Sunday, December 28th and they absolutely refused. We asked to speak to casino host and they just blew us off. I called about 5 minutes before my father, was told no. then my father called and he got a free room. My wife called back and they lied and said the comp'd rooms are gone. If anyone in this group goes to this casino and gets a room for Dec. 28th I would like to hear about it.
I'm ready to start going to Belterra Southern IN which is about an extra 30 minute drive for us.
The funny thing is we visited Horseshoe Hammond this summer for about 2 hours and we constantly get free offers from them for $50 - $75. We stayed at Harrah's Joliet on that trip and we get a few offers but not many.

That's just my point. I go 8-10 times a year giving them a little action during each trip to get to Platinum but my friend only goes a few times but plays heavier but barely making Platinum but get much better offers.
