Thank you. 50 points is just a goal for each trip. There is a promotion every monday-wednesday at harrahs so cal where if you get at least 50 points, you swipe your card for prizes ranging from free play, food, rewards credit, etc. Usually I get the reward credits and 5,000 is what I have gotten a lot and can get 25 dollars free play out of that a week later during my next weeks trip. Last week I got 10 dollars in rewards credit swiping. It is a very good promotion.
Oh and the reason I got only 50 points is because about 15 minutes later the public transit bus was going to leave to go to valley view (a casino 4 miles away from harrahs) to use my free play there for 2 hours and then head back. Most trips I get at least 100 points, which is good because harrahs is 5 dollars a point. Plus I was almost out of money from my winnings at harrahs before I left and I wanted enough to save for the bus fare to and back and to activate my free play at VV. Public transit Bus is every 2 hours, so only have to stay 2 hours at VV and then come back to get ready to get on harrahs shuttle back home. Valley View free play is every 10 days (3 times each month) so 3 times each month I only spend about 80 minutes at harrahs before heading to Valley view. I bet that probably is what hurt my harrahs offers because when I come back to harrahs if I dont eat at valley view, I spend the last 30 minutes before having to leave to eat. I should do 2 separate trips (one day at harrahs and one day at VV), but valley view pays good at the time I like to go there and whenever I tried to go in the morning I would not win much or last long and plus being at valley view only 2 hours, I have better luck bringing home winnings.
