Yeah. I always knew about the $1 for every 175 tcs. But no such thing as $1 for every 75tcs. That's unheard of.
ok- yeah I knew Diamond got the 1:1.75- so $20 costs me 3500 RC's But I thought I missed something. and the 1:1.5 is for Aspiration level 2.
Occasionally they would run promos where they were 1 for 1 for everyone, but haven't seen that in years. I was waiting for one of those again so I could use a bunch.
@SoCalRob - seems like you had a great time spending your maniversary up in tahoe. i know you said this i a little rant but to me, it comes off like you didn't get every last thing you wanted and are whining about it.
Anyone would be disappointed that they were told one thing was going to happen and something else did. It's called a bait and switch. If I was told my rcs would be taken away before any further comps then I would have evaluated whether or not it would have been worth it to have that dinner at 19Kitchen as GR Steak in Vegas means more to me and my bf(which is what those rcs were for) than 19Kitchen did.
I'm sorry if posting my experience about being told one thing and having another done to me comes across as whiny.
hey all..its been awhile since I posted anything. anyways just want to say two things. @SoCalRob That stinks that the host wasn't clear about covering you. Last year with Hunter at PH, he told me he will comp resort fees AND make sure I burn up any RCs before the comp or they will take it...out of his hands. Of course I used all for 3 buffets but then I played more and had $10 worth that I forgot and sure enough they ate them up and then comped the the resort fees. Wish your host was upfront to you.
and second, @goldengreeke thats funny that you knew to convert RCs to FP...nothing gets by this guy haha! and he is right that program has been around awhile and I considered converting last year but I used for buffets instead. but seriously thinking about my bday offer at Cherokee of 8500 RCs and $125 FP and converting the RCs and just go for it.
Honestly. That's all I was saying. Just be upfront with me about what is REALLY gonna happen, and it's all good. I'm over it now. I've learned my lesson and like GG I'm gonna use up all my rcs next time before I even ask about comps. The funny thing is though. I have only asked for comps once. And that was limo transport in Vegas becsuse I knew they charged $71 each way. I'm not one to ask for comps on anything. Even with the food I didn't ask. The offer was extended to me and I thought it was the intention of being used without rcs. That's all. I got upset that it wasn't till after the fact that I was told otherwise.
I think CET hosts assume that everyone knows that RC's will be taken first. They even do that in NOLA now. In Vegas forever.
I agree that the host should say we will comp it after using your RC's but maybe they don't want to open a can of worms or open themselves up to further discussions. I remember it Tahoe years ago I was told they take RC's by the lady at VIP checkin.
But to the brighter side - you got your airfare paid for, a stocked limo to property, your suite comped, an extra freeplay given to you and your host was nice enough to give you an additional $100 comp in the most scenic place in the world. I don't know of any other player program that would do that and I know you do appreciate that.
I really don't like it when the host says we will comp it on the back end.
I am sorry that this happened to you. Thank you for sharing this because it's a lesson for all of us to remember that with CET you have to ask if what they are offering is going to be coming out of your reward credit balance.
The Cleveland casino when they were TR used to give out food comps that did not come off RCs. It was a separate piece of paper thing with various info on it (your name, restaurant name, $ value) that you'd take to the restaurant. If you went over the $ value you had to pay the difference. I used to get them quite often when I was heavy playing there and they never touched my RCs. I'm sure of this because I used to watch that balance like a hawk and keep track of my credits earned each day in my phone to make sure all the mulitipliers were correctly added later. I used to play specifically on multiplier days just to earn extra RCs to cash in for FP in Vegas.
I'm not sure if other locations can do these slips also because I've never asked. My CLE then-TR host was surprised that I didn't get or ask for one when I went to Baltimore and ate at the food court, which kind of gave me the impression they are done elsewhere. If anyone's looking for a food comp that does not come out of RCs these might be a possibility but again always ask if whatever they are giving you is coming out of your RCs.
In Vegas I charge everything to the room, but I also use up RCs on FP while I'm there so by the time my folio gets reviewed for comps I hardly have any RCs. What I have left gets taken but more than that gets discretionary comps. But no matter how much I've played vs. how much I've charged, whatever's in there ends up gone.
The whole RCs for cash thing that goldengreeke mentioned is totally new to me. I've turned them into cash but only from running FP through the machine once.
Luckily or perhaps not I never have many RC's built up during my recent trips to worry about it, so I've not been disappointed to see them go.
When I stayed at Borgata in July I was told at check out my charges would be taken care of, only to find my credit card was charged. I guess I assumed the host would comp the charges but I was wrong. On the other hand I used my comp dollars to buy an awesome handbag that I love.... Well worth more than the credit card charge.
Sorry Rob you lost your RC's but don't worry, just charge your GR meal to your room and hopefully your host will take off the extra charge in September
