Fingers off the delete key.
Here's my very useful addition to this dilemma. Take heed all this is one of my posts you'll want to read.
There are two categories of card pullers:
1. Innovators
2. Imitators
I was sitting next to a little old lady that begun the process of collecting her money and heard a person next to her say, "you know when you pick up your free play, you should always pull your card after you download it, especially if you aren't going to play much today. This way you keep getting the same amount. Etc..."
She complied and thanked the person for their suggestion, though I seriously doubt she had any clue of the full ramification of what she was doing. She did it because everyone else was doing it. Not because it was her idea.
I'm going to hazard a guess that this was not an isolated incident. A large number of card pullers have probably just been going along with the trend. If you are an imitators and can convince the casino of this fact, I'm sure it would help your case for reinstatement.
If you have ever seen a cop fail to pull over a person doing 10 miles over the speed limit, because everyone else was doing 15 miles over then you have witnessed this tendency to overlook transgression when "everybody is doing it".
I certainly believe this was the case at the M and pointing that out could help.
I was also told by someone that I should pull my card at the M. I ignored them...perhaps because I've never had any luck "pulling out" in the past.

This allowed them to make 15 downloads with no trips. Since M mailer is based on an "average trip basis," players who did this were considered to be cheating the system. I understand players do not like this basis, but it is what it is and it isn't going to change.

Players who were demailed for this reason may want to contact Rutledge srutledge@... and swear they will never do it again and plead for a second chance. If you are allowed back in, and pull your card again while downloading free play, don't expect a third chance.

Has this casino manager guy talked to marketing about welcoming video poker players back? When I asked my host about getting back on the mailing list, he refused to answer the question and says he can comp me a meal if I come in.
