Jean,
You're 100% right. Impossible doesn't even begin to describe the effort when a casino can arbitrarily change the numerator, the denominator or even the length of the dividing line.
Witness the Mohegan Sun in CT: first a70% slice off the theo,
with subsequent cutbacks in club status, gifts, free points, and
FSP. THEN they increased the coin-in for pts requirement, with the final nail being the taking away of all points on FPVP. Even when you do get a FSP or bounceback mailer, depending on what machines they can be used on, they could have an EV of 99%+ or 80%.
I realize others play a lot more often than I do, but at this point, my only option is to look at the offers for a month, see what 2-3-4 day period gives me the most advantageous set of giveaways, FSP, bonus offers, etc. and make my plans accordingly. Fortunately, this often comes mid-week, when retired old codgers like me can take advantage of them and avoid the weekend crowds.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is. -Yogi Berra
There is no such thing as luck. There is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe. -Robert Heinlein

I'd say the following would needed to be tracked for 6 months to get an idea of how the mailers work: date, coin in, length of play, denomination, game type, distance to casino, win/loss record, amount of freeplay redeemed, amount of play on days freeplay was redeemed, card status.>>
