Re: [vpFREE] Re: VegasInc: Station Casinos revamps Boarding Pass perks to entice gamblers

Went to one of their info sessions tonight. The free gift was a lame
T-shirt with a tacky advert on the backside. At least the dessert
things were semi-tasty.

You need to go to the Reward Centre and request that your Fiesta (&
Wildfire, if applicable) accounts be merged into your Boarding Pass
account. This didn't happen automatically.

You can also choose which account number you wish to keep.

I do feel the 1000 points per comp $ is a downgrade, but I guess they
feel like the 3x points makes up for the 400 extra points per
dollar. It does make the 3x rate a bit deceptive, though.

8.1 million points? Let me know if you ever care to donate them to
me. LOL!! BTW, there is also a $1000/day limit on cash back
redemption, and they said only points earned after February (?) 2008
are eligible to be redeemed for cash back.
