Just got an email from my host, my planned June 7 star trip to Cincinnati
is now a NOGO -- new rule changes -- argh -- no free rooms or "retreat" 7
star 1500000 point trips to Cincinnati or Philadelphia or other properties
that do not have their own hotel!
See below for the new rules she sent me.
She also said "you won't be happy!" Wow is she right - I just spent
several hours getting all the flight information for said trip to send to her
for both a 7 star trip and a 80000 point trip. I had spoken to a host in
Cincinnati too about the trip -- no one knew about the changes until they just
published the new rules.
What a letdown for me personally, and I am sure for others of you.
The rules don't say, but I am assuming the 80000 point aspiration trip is
also excluded from these cities -- see below --
Between the cutbacks on free play offers, and now 7 star cutbacks-- Caesars
is going to be losing a lot of business.....
