The Devil is in the Details

Palms 

A clarification to this question about the Palms slot club change I talked about back in June: Does this mean that whatever points I now accumulate, I can ONLY
 use them for gambling (free play) and NOT for free meals, etc.?? 

“Old” points (earned before June 1) can only be used for comps but they don't expire as long as you play at the Palms once a year. You must go to a kiosk to get a paper comp in order to use these old points. Now if you swipe your card at an outlet to pay for something, this accesses your “new” point account and redeems new points. So, yes, “new” points can be used for comps OR free play. 

Casino Royale 

Cashback earned at Casino Royale expires after 48 hours!!!! Collect it fast or lose it. 

Tuscany 

Tuscany monitors carefully whether you collect mailed bounce-back free play and pull your players card to play it off so you don’t earn any points. Some do this thinking that this will keep your daily average higher. This may work at some casinos, but even though Tuscany software doesn’t seem to catch this, Marketing manually goes through their database to weed out these “tricky players” and they will be taken off their promotional mailer list.

Eddie's Gravatar Why would Tuscany do this Jean? I know a local who plays there often and I don't think shes aware of this tactic.

Pam's Gravatar I don't understand how this Tuscany thing works. Why do players pull
their cards out? What do they have to gain from this?
