Always at the beginning for me. Like Zeus said, I'm always worried I may have to leave before when I planned, or that I may forget about it.
Plus I have had a few really lucky casino trips where I have won big on as little as $10 in freeplay and never had to touch my bankroll.
Point play I'll always do at the very end, since I usually want to use it up unless its one of my locals where I'll keep a lot of points banked for future use.
If I'm playing somewhere where I have immediate access to it, either through it being on my card or through mailer coupons, then I play it first before playing any money.
Rivers in Pittsburgh always makes me do one spin before the free play is activated and available to download. So there I usually play it at least one machine on cash before using my free play.
The only place that I play it later in the trip is Las Vegas at CET, because when I get FP on an offer I have to go pick up the coupons. I'm either easily confused or it changes based on the offer but sometimes I've had to go to TR first and then the cage and other times it was just the cage. So I just go to TR first and do all the stuff there I need to do, like my Diamond tickets or celebration dinner coupons, and ask about the free play and then go from there to the cage. Depending on my itinerary for the trip it can be a day or two before I get around to doing that. Then I figure out what I'm going to do with it. One time I had some odd amount that I won a bunch off of at some point, so I totally lost track of where I was using it. Thankfully the night before I headed home I reorganized my wallet and found a coupon I had forgotten to use stuck in a side pocket, so it ended up that the last gambling I did that trip was playing out the FP. For my next trip I'm trying to put together a plan for using it so that doesn't happen again.
I like to use my freeplay first before using my own money and hope to win enough to play on for awhile.
I've payed it at the beginning and the end. If at the beginning, I try to use it on new machines I've never played. If at the end, it's because I've held onto it so I know I have a little to play at the end.

Most times I forget about it until the end of my stay. Then use it up the last night. Once I forgot completely. Lol.

I use it within five minutes of arriving in the casino.
It is usually gone within five minutes of play.
As noted on my last Vegas trip in August, I used it all at the end! At my locals, I always use it first.
I like to hoard it until the last day, but if I run out of bankroll on an earlier day I will break into some of it then.
I tend to use it towards the end of my trip. If I win anything I usually donk it off on a high limit slot.
At the B, Adam uses it immediately, he has had a few trip where he never dipped into bankroll (it was awesome!). In Vegas, we tend to use it towards the end of the trip but will change that up next trip and stick to what has worked at the B and use it at the start.
