Despite the talk I had with head of GC coast club, Jen Yee, Our mailers for
Feb. still didn't jibe with what she and coast booth sead.
In Dec. I had $19624 coin in, and 59996 points. According to coast, I
should have qualified for "C" mailer ($15000 coin in), yet I got a B mailer again!
(just like last month when I got a B but had less than the $27000 coin in
they say gets you B).
B for this month was very good with 3 $20 off food coupons, 2 buffet
coupons for 2 free buffets each, 4 periods of $30 instant credits, free gift
(candle), 2 free show tix (Lena Prima), also Mystery Instant Credits on Feb. 8.

Meanwhile my husband had $11799 coin in. According to coast booth and Jen
Yee, he should have qualified for D mailer ($6700 coin in). But instead he
gets an E mailer!!!! I don't get it! E is a bad mailer with only $5 off
restaurant for short period, 2 $5 instant credits for short periods, and 2
2-for-1 buffet.
---------
Also husband and myself have different extra point days to some extent.
Seems like everyone gets 8X points on Feb. 7 Chinese New Year, 6x on Feb. 29
Leap day, 7X from 14-18th. Others vary.
--------
Due to weird mailers, I still don't know if it is worthwhile to play or not.
As it happens, as we waited to eat at buffet today I put in $40 on the FP
quarter deuces and hit 4 deuces twice! And we love the GC. But is it
worthwhile?
Before changes we would each play $10,000+ through a month and get
approximately $50-75 in instant credits and $50 in food coupons, if not more. Even if
you consider that it is coin in now versus coin out. Let's say I had lost
$2000 to get $10,000 coin out (thus playing $12000 coin in equivalent). At
.003 cashback rate, the difference is $6 in more cashback now. Even with 6X
points (equivalent to 2X points in the old system), that is only $12. But if
we lose the $50-75 in instant credits plus food, we have lost a lot.
We may very well be better off to put $20,000 through at the Wynn and get
their extra cashback for locals, plus assorted comps. Or the Venetian with
their weekly (in general - it varies from month to month) locals extra cashback
mailings. Plus assorted slot tournaments.
Hard to compute this. But if I can get the "B" mailer for some X amount
that isn't that much more than the old $12,000 coin in (equivalent to 10,000
coin out - assuming a bad loss rate of 20%), than I'm better off to stick with
the GC.
Arrgh!
I guess I will try calling Jen Yee yet again to see if I can get any
sensible answer or the name of someone who does know.
Meanwhile, very annoying. (But I am smiling about 2 sets of deuces and good
buffet tonight).
