Anyone getting CET FSP or Gift Offers 8/17 -- 8/26?

It is KILLING me waiting for late August offers. I'm in BEYOND-hyper-trip-planning mode and though I've gotten one general August room offer, the Celine Dion tix and one general FSP offer (that I'm using), I'm not getting as many offers so far in August as I received for June and July. For those months literally every weekend of the month there was a either a concert (e.g., Aretha Franklin), major VP or slot tournament or an offer for say a gift card or FSP of the same amount. Some weekends I'd get two of the above. Of course, I can't use ANY of them as airfare is just way too expensive for me for a short weekend trip to take advantage of the offers.

So far, no such luck in August but I've been holding back booking the rest of my trip with the offers I do have so that I can wait to see what else comes up because I'm worried I might not get anything else if I book what I have. I booked, for example, a FSP offer for the last weekend of my trip and I'm convinced that's why marketing didn't send me the slot tournament offer for a few days earlier. I'm going to check with my host on that one.

For folks that don't mind sharing, please let me know if you have gotten any FSP or gift card offers for late August. (I got the sweet Coach one for the first weekend in August but can't use that one!) I'll then know if it's me or that CET is just late getting the mid to late August offers out. It's also a bit annoying given that August is my birthday month so I would have thought I would have received an offer related to my birthday, if CET still provides those offers.

Thanks.
I have an offer from Ballys for fsp or gift card good on most days of the month. I have something for Coach but it might be at Harrahs Laughlin. I think there's an offer for a slot tourney or two and the usual stuff I receive every month. My best August offers are for Harrahs Laughlin. However, I don't know if I'll be able to visit the promised land and use any of them. I think I have a slot tourney offer at Stations for the 1st or 2nd weekend of the month. I need to get through mid July before I can even think about carving a few days for an impromptu Vegas trip.

FFlowers, I know your feeling. For the past several years, the offers that came with Total Rewards Magazine included rooms and a dining credit for NOLA and rooms and usually something else for Atlantic City. The current ones for those markets expired May 31 and everything else that came with the last Total Rewards magazine expire June 30. I'm going to NOLA next week. Got the nights comped at Harrahs hotel and am very grateful for that. I'm a tad disappointed that there's no dining credit I can use at Besh. I guess with all the changes, redoing the website, etc, they did away with the total rewards magazine. Or, one is going show up any day and not include June . Fortunately, thanks to promotions at my local Harrahs, I have more than enough points to do what I want on that trip. For the record, I have about 5000 more tier points than I had this time a year ago.
Lisa,

Many thanks for the info. The coach offer I have is for the first weekend in August. That's probably what you have. Gift card or FSP with a CET Vegas stay I think August 3rd to August 5th. Summer splash tournament, which I also can't do is at the same time.

I think I'm going to just have to wait to July 1st when a few dozen offers that go through June 30th disappear, hopefully replaced with more good stuff for August! I think I'm going to call my host this weekend though as I don't want to miss out on booking Celine but I was hoping for at least one more FSP or Gift card offer, in which case I was going to do CET for one night, with Celine, check out for 2 nights, check back in for FSP/gift card, check back out and back in for tourney and check out and check back in for FSP.

Yes, crazy, but for a lotta FSP, Celine and tourney, I'd do it in a heart beat. Only wrinkle is if FSP and Celine are at the same time. If FSP is good enough, I'd just book that and buy a cheap Celine Dion ticket (though big brother wouldn't be thrilled as I was going to give him my other ticket.)

Thanks again.
Lisa and FFlowers I have the Summer 2012 TR magazine seems like it came a couple of weeks ago. Has offers for Tunica and Ak-Chin June through August. Offers for LV, Reno, and AC are July through September.
LV 5 free nights any property with $50 dining credit, Tunica 3 free nights any of the 3 properties with "up to"$200 dining credit for Binions Steakhouse or '37 Steakhouse
AC 3 free nights with 2 show tickets to one of the following Donny & Marie July 31-August 5/Blue Man Group July 13-20/Rock of Ages Aug 14-Sept 2/ Celtic Thunder July 1-8
Ak-Chin 4 free nights with 15,000 reward credits, and Reno/Tahoe 5 free nights only no dining or show offers.

I'm a just barely make Diamond player this year and last, so you both should receive much better offers than I received.

I have some gift card offers $25 or gifts usually small Coach items. I can be more specific if you'd like, I just stopped having an interest unless I already have a trip planned that coincides with this type of offer. $25 isn't anywhere close to an incentive to drive from Los Angeles to LV for a gift card.

Agree with you there raisin. Mine have been measly, and OFF dates.

I ended up booking Aria during OUR stay FF, getting much better offers of late thru mgm, and I booked just a regular freebie room for friends
at PHo during that time. No CE FP or gift offer, just free room. Lame.
Hope you get better.

Weird how offers ebb & flow from diff mkging depts. Sometimes they're in........sometimes they're out....

I'm doing my first Stations tourney at GVR tomorrow. Stations has been good to me lately too. Go figure.


CLV, l'm looking forward to hearing about the tourney. I received that offer and couldn't use it. I have a similar offer for August.

FFlowers, sounds like I have the same coach offer.
Interesting, I haven't gotten any Vegas offers for August or later, even though I was there in April.. I've received a few for Metropolis IL, but that's what happens when you play a half hour of BJ there.

I'm using an offer at Rio in July, so hopefully my play there will be enough to get the offers to start back up. If not, it may be a lot of gambling at MGM for me.
Raisin, I have the AC ticket offers you mentioned. Nice shows. Would be kinda neat to see Donny and Marie or Blue Man Group in AC rather than in Vegas but the dates for me don't work. Sarah Silverman is there on July 7th. I may be able to check that out.

Unless it has come in the past few days I still haven't received my Summer TR 2012 magazine, even though July 1st is here in 6 days.

CLV, the offers I HAVE received for June, July and early August are super sweet. If airfares were cheaper I'd be making some fast trips but no such luck. Just looking for more sweet offers during my actual trip!!!!!
I got $5.00 in food comps
Lots of offers, including Celine etc. Can't do 'em, so I toss 'em and have forgotten the details...sorry! September is starting to trickle in. I'm waiting for October!

Used to be I'd pop in for some of those quickies, but the airfares....yikes!
