Went to their website and couldn't find anything, but I saw they have 2x points on Thanksgiving 11/28.

---I don’t see this on their website. Can you tell me where you saw it? Thanks.

: [vpFREE] Fuel Savings?

 

I didn't take offense, Harry. 
 
<<The value is relatively nominal (though far from insignificant). >>
 
However, to some people, $10 a month is nominal AND insignificant if it involves much attention to details.

Jean,

I should apologize for my statement of, "You still gonna tell me you're going to pass up ... ?" challenge.  It was a little over the top.

Early on in this thread I admitted I could grasp why someone might pass on this benefit:  The value is relatively nominal (though far from insignificant).  And, for some, Shell stations aren't readily accessible.

However, it was important for me to clarify that for those interested in the benefit, the only real hassle involved may be going out of your way to fuel up at a Shell station.  (Of course, it's been made clear that getting one's hands around the facts of the program is a one-time hurdle in itself ;)

In any case, Jean, I trust that my intent wasn't misconstrued or seen intended as a personal swipe ...

- H.

Yep – that is what I am telling you -  we are at the point in our life where I am trying to simplify. Even if we could do the $20 savings every other month (which we can't do) that is not a big enough amount to pay for my time and effort to keep track of everything and then instruct Brad when to go to Shell.
 
And this is my last post of this subject – it is giving me a headache!!!!   I am 74 and Brad is 81 – we have been frugal our whole life and thus accumulated a lot of money.  Now we want to peacefully spend it and not concern ourselves with extreme nickel/dime issues.

[vpFREE] More gambling to come to PA?

 

http://m.citizensvoice.com/news/taverns-wait-for-their-turn-to-gamble-1.1575934

"HARRISBURG - Through several decades of debate over legalized gambling in Pennsylvania, interests representing nonprofit groups, casinos and taverns have competed against each other to win approval to offer gambling to patrons.


Nonprofits hit the jackpot first with small games of chance in 1988, casinos were next with slot machines in 2004, and the addition of table games in 2010. Taverns, however, have been left out despite bills to allow them everything from video poker machine to keno and blackjack tournaments. 


This situation came close to changing one day last week when the Senate approved a bill legalizing small games for taverns and the House appeared ready to quickly follow suit. Instead, the Senate-approved bill cleared a key House committee, but a floor vote was put off until lawmakers return to session after the Nov. 5 election.


"We're going to get this finally done," Amy Christie, executive director of the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage Association, said, expressing optimism about the final outcome.


The two-week delay will allow time for House lawmakers to become more familiar with the bill's details, but it could also give rivals time to organize against it......."

up in Reno, as we will be up there at
 
the end of next month :)

I recently returned from Lake Tahoe and noticed some of the new sparkling fresh video poker machines at Harrah's and Harvey's. Surprisingly the exact same games and paytables have been installed in all the machines I checked.

 You can tell I have a relatively short-term memory ... I've forgotten that there was a time where RC <> TC on my play ;)

Using the discount will not trigger a 'trip'. Your play will trigger it of course.

Also, you need to earn 500 Tier Credits, not 500 RCs, for each 10 cent discount.

RE: RE: RE: RE: Re: [SPAM][vpFREE] Fuel Savings?

 

Well, it looks like I have to give Jean her due ... this isn't the first time that I've misinterpreted the TR Fuel Rewards benefit ...

While the details are somewhat convoluted, redemption is a snap.  So, I'll stand by my position that this is a pretty simple reward to manage.  Further, based upon the insight surfaced by vpbacker's post, it seems things are even better than I thought.

Having gone back and read the terms once again, I now grasp that you can earn up to 5-$.10/gal rewards each month from a maximum of 5 days of CZR play (min 500 tier credits each day).

These rewards must be used by the month following the earn date.

So, one need merely sign up for the program, and then tap their accumulated credits (whatever they may be) once every other month.  If you play during September and October, you'll have up to a $1/gal credit available for a fill after your last eligible play in October (for up to 20 gal).

(And, alternatively, you can simply opt to always fill up at a Shell and insert your Fuel Reward card each time -- you'll receive credit for whatever you have on tap, or $.03/gal if you haven't earned a reward since your last fill.  Not the way I choose to access the program, however.)

You still gonna tell me you're going to pass up a potential $20 fuel credit once every other month, Jean?  (Tell me what "hoop" I've omitted? ;)

I did receive 80 cents  off per gallon on my last fill and they were all from Total Reward play at Caesars properties.  I went to Fuel Rewards account online and it showed I earned in Aug. & Sept., so maybe the cents off carries over for a month??  I found this:


How long do I have to use Fuel Rewards savings issued through Total Rewards?

Fuel Rewards savings issued through Total Rewards expire on the last day of the month immediately following the month in which they are earned. For example, if a Total Rewards member earned Fuel Rewards savings on June 17th, the reward will expire on July 31st.

You're limited to a $.50/gal cap on any single fill when drawing down your CZR sourced fuel credits.   You can, however, add to that with credits earned via qualified grocery purchases, online purchases, etc.

I have actually used the program for a few months now and it has saved at the gas pump.  Right now I have a 55 cents savings built up that won't expire until 11/30/13.  A few more play times at Caesars properties before that will be added, so I might bring it up to almost $1.00 off per gallon by 11/30 !
