I got so tired of being told I was overcomped and no, nothing can be taken off of your room bill, even at about 8000 points per day, that I haven't played at V/P this year. The gold status doesn't really do much for me. I love love love the rooms, but somehow every time I stay there I become a degenerate gambler trying to get enough points for them to take something , anything, off of my room bill.
But I am still getting offers. Haven't noticed the dates though. I have noticed the free play they are sending me is more like $100 rather than the $250 they used to send with the offers.
