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

 

Since the exchange rate is still 1000 pts = $1, shouldn't the points earned since the last change be exactly the same and the points before the last change that were 600 pts to 1 for food be the ones that increased by 40%? Am I missing something? All my points were from after the last change and they stayed the same.

5 million points and you are only Gold, I assume you were once higher tier. They have also cut the price of the buffets take that into account.

I found out that it is now 1000 pts for $1 in food and there is no longer a 25% discount for gold. You need to be platinum to get 25% discount. Gold used to be 500 base points. Now it is 40,000 base points.

According to my online account, my point balance also increased a lot.

The card benefits on my online account also say President and Chairman get 75% off the buffet. And Gold gets 25% and Platinum 50%.

But that may not be right since the brochures available at the Rewards Centers say Gold is 0%, Platinum is 25% and President and Chairman are 50%.

I would say the brochure is more likely to be right. They ought to revise the online chart ASAP.

===========================================
I just checked my account and found my points to have increased by 40%. My former 265,000 points balance is now 371,000 so my points are not devalued. As for card benefits, the chart still shows that President gets 75% off up to eight people and Chairman is 75% off unlimited. Coupled with the fact that the levels of play for all levels have been reduced makes this a much better play.

Sorry, don't REALLY mean to make light of it, but I couldn't resist. But seriously, this is going on all over the country. Here in CT, the Mohegan Sun now gives NO points on all their best VP machines ( best meaning 98% and above), AND dramatically raised the number of coins in for points. There was even a report of someone who had his EARNED club status taken away because they didn't like his action.

A sad story, but one that appears to be spreading all to rapidly.

[vpFREE] Re: New Stations Points Program

 

OH YEAH I forgot to mention, NO MORE 1/2 POINT FOOD on Senior Wed.
Still having the tournament.
This "new" club is going to kill their restuarants.
No advantage to using your points for food now. Just cash them out.

The 75% off the buffet for up to 8 people for President status USED to be the best deal in town. No more. NOW it is 50% off up to 4!
Same for chairman. The website was WRONG yesterday. I was shocked when I attended the meeting. I can't find club benefits anywhere on the website today.

Only Palms still has 75% off their buffet with the black card. Even there it is not a full 75% off as when the buffet is on sale, you get the discount off the original price only.

I was so upset when I left Stations yesterday I forgot to pick up my playcash!
