Even though you have been monitoring the card reader for point accumulation, your host stops to talk with you and confirms that you have been sitting at that machine all day, when you finish playing and check your points balance about an hour later, you discover that none of your play has been recorded. (Fortunately, you have kept detailed records of points earned.)

Harrahs/Caesars does everything they can to not give you full credit for your play. I think they believe that if they drag out it out for forever that you are so dumb that you will forget about it and just move on.
