Queenie asked: Our free play was greatly decreased. Anyone else find
that to be true for them, even if they have been playing about the same
amount as in the past.
I'm pretty sure they issue their mailers "on the curve," meaning the top xxx% get the best mailer, the next yyy% get the 2nd best mailer, etc. (Exactly what those percentages actually are is a mystery to all of us --- plus the percentages change periodically.) Since the last few months have featured Visa Gift Cards as a PEW award (the MWF gifts), many players have been playing more than they usually do simply because the effective "cash back" rate has been 0.45% rather than the typical 0.25% (this assumes you consider Visa gift cards and free play the same as cash. It's a close enough approximation for many of us. It also assumes that the non-Visa card gifts are considered close to worthless by many players. This is also a close enough approximation for many of us.) To the extent this is true, this means if you are playing the same amount as you did before and a lot of players are playing more, you're losing ground and will get a smaller mailer.
Personally, I've been playing more and my mailer has remained relatively constant.
