I normally do it once per year. they prefer that you have XX amount of points, from the previous month or something like that. but as an out-of-towner, you normally don't have any play from the previous month. they usually give me a brief lecture and then proceed. I get the max $50 rebate from a $1000 withdrawal. I never seem to win much at all on that free play. :-( I will try again in March.
