Just got my LVH Saks shopping spree for 11/14.
Iam rated C2 and got $500. Anyone else do better as a C2?

Thanks

Got a $1000. Am C2. Guessing that difference may be due to fact that I don't
take the suites, limos, etc. Only self-indulgence is Benihanas occasionally.
(Have suggested that I'd rather have a 3-day monorail pass than a limo.)

My wife surprised me by saying she wants to go so will see the rest of you
there.

Backgammon players FYI: this offer dovetails neatly with a backgammon
tournament that's at the Riviera which goes from 11/10 - 11/14.

Comp utilization has no bearing on the offer amount. The shopping
offer thresholds simply split differently from the comp ratings. In
addition, the play determination for shopping offers is different than
that for comp ratings (I have a foggy memory of the details but I
believe that the shopping offers may reflect average trips over a
given number of months whereas the comp rating is based on trip
average over something like the last 4 trips, no matter when they
occurred.)

I believe that last year's Saks C2 offers ranged from $500 to $1500.

or so. I hope the posts aren't more tiresome than informative.)
