Everyone is encouraged to routinely post their experiences
in getting discretionary comps, bounceback cash and
marketing offers, along with a description of their play that
earned these benefits.
Play exclusive vp. Earned 1700 points one evening. According to the boarding
ramp information poster, $8 = 1 point in vp. Received a $25 cash coupon, 2
free buffets and a hotel room good any night of the week. 2 weeks after earning
the points. Mailings always seem to come on Saturdays. The past 6 weeks, have
been unable to make use of the free stay for a Saturday night in spite of
calling within 24 - 48 hours of receiving the offer good for 2 weeks forward. Spoke
to a host (Art) and made the suggestion that if the marketing department is
going to aggressively pursue large groups such as weddings and reunions to fill
the hotel on Saturdays, then perhaps they could extend the expiration date of
the free room offer to maybe a month from receiving them so some of us have a
chance of making a reservation. This account is the highest "tier" level that
I am aware of. Reunions are a one shot deal and their bread and butter has to
be the loyal, returning customer. We come from out of state and without the
free room stay, it's hardly worth spending the 14k on the premises. Might as
well save the gas & stay close to home.
