That Purple Envelope

[Evoni]

Has anyone redeemed their freeplay without staying there? @Evoni I thought I remembered someone did or was going to try, was that you?

I redeemed a offer for $285.00 on my trip last month at Cosmo. When I did it he said I could still use my 3 comped nights before the offer expires, but I wouldn't get the free play again if I booked those nights later, that I would have to wait for a new offer for more FP. It was funny because when I redeemed the free play without staying there, Gwen was with me and went on to him about none of the other casinos do that and I turned and asked her, are you trying to talk him out of doing it? LMAO!

I don't think she meant it the way it was sounding to me. I was a bit nervous that it was too good to be true, especially since SDGuy was with me and didn't double book that trip because I told him he could still get his free play without doing that, whew! Cosmo did score a few points with me on that policy and I think whoever made the decision was smart as that way it prevents double booking and not leaving one of their rooms they could possibly sale empty due to someone just taking it to get the free play.

Just an FYI: Since I took my free play last month instead of also staying the 3 nights at Cosmo that came with it, I got a new offer today since that previous Cosmo offers expires in July. My new offer is 2 nights, weekend or weekdays (June 4th to August 12th) but my free play went down from $285.00 to $260.00. Since I only played there a couple hours after using the free play it didn't effect my comps that much so far for just coming in and taking the free play. I will be using those 2 nights and the free play during my July trip so perhaps it will bounce up higher after that trip.

That's not a bad drop @Evoni. I hope to use my offer in Sept, thanks for sharing.

As many times as I have been to Vegas, I have never been inside the Cosmopolitan. I think I will have to change that when I go out for my conference this fall.

Got my latest purple email today, just three days after checking out of Cosmo. $375 FP is lower than the last one by $70, but they're still offering three nights any night and $100 FB. Good from this Thursday until August 5; here's hoping I can make a quick trip in July.

On this last trip, it felt significantly harder to rack up points under Cosmo's new accrual system. Not counting the 3X multiplier for Platinum, I averaged only 1842 base points per day for the three days I was there. I wasn't low-rolling or anything, but $2.50 per point really does feel like more work than $1.50/point like it used to be.

@boots Sounds like it's harder to rack up points at Cosmo now. I think that $70 freeplay reduction isn't too big of a deal as it seems you still get treated well there with limo rides etc..

When I stopped by there in April I played 2 times about 1 hour each time and I got around 800 points on my card. I guess enough to trigger a free room offer..

Hope it works out for you for a quick trip in July. Mom and I will at at Cosmo from July 10th and 11th before moving to Palazzo.

I agree with you that under the new system it's harder to rack up points, though still easier then at M-Life properties.

@Evoni, still really really hoping to make it out that weekend too!
