More counterarguments from the last couple of months:
The recent deal at Sam's Town where they were giving $1 per 500 pts for existing points and the recent change at Stations where they gave an extra 40% in comps for their existing points. The recent change at Terrible's where they gave everyone 20% more free play for their existing points.

In August there was a promotion from Las Vegas with a play-up for Tourneau (a watch store) credit. I knew one could use TR credits to buy additional Tourneau value, but considering the markup, etc, that might not be very much above the 2:1 cash exchange you can find around the system. But I asked my host anyway, and lo and behold it was a 1:1 exchange! I took about 4 new Rolexes with it. Nah nah, Caesar's!
