Another Lesson Learned

[Nhcris]

Thanks hytail. Glad I'm not crazy.

Who says you're not crazy?

But seriously, I'm glad you posted this. It's sort of like a Public Service Announcement, and could be really helpful to anyone new to the CET program. We may not play for comps, but we sure do like to get the best possible value for our play, and that includes understanding as much as possible about any program you give much play to.

FWIW, I also understand saving up points for something special, as I do that as well. Based on what the host said, I would also have expected her to take care of that meal, but having heard of this happening before it would not have surprised me to have the points used. Like you said, Lesson Learned.

I use up as much as I can before asking for a comp. It is a sucky system if you ask me.

This is a very interesting post, thanks for starting it Rob.

Our host luck has been very different in Council Bluffs. They always comp the meals without touching our Reward Credits. I just checked and we have over 50k right now. I wonder if it's because it's a smaller market that the hosts have more leeway to do this? They've never touched our Reward Credits and we always have $250 - $300 worth of charges on the room that are comped.

I guess it'll be more like your experience when we go to Biloxi this fall. Bummer...it's been nice to bank our RC's.

If you remember, you should post your experience in Biloxi when you get back. It's always good to have a different perspective on the same situation.

Or....you can just come right out and ask the host up front if RCs will be used. Seems to me it's a pretty simple solution to the whole issue.

I know personally from now on. I'll just assume RCs are coming off and if they don't. It would be a nice and welcoming surprise.

It is like that at our home property in Bossier City - they give us food credit attached to room each time.
It was like that at Horseshoe Tunica and used to be like that at NOLA but they changed a couple of years ago.

Never been to Biloxi so not sure how they do it.

In Reno/Tahoe they provide me with a food voucher (varies between properties). I don't typically stay long enough to need more than one for the weekend. That way RCs are typically not in play, and I can save them for LV.

In Vegas CET have given me a food credit, so by charging to your room they can deduct this before using RC's

I haven't been to Biloxi since January so I'm not sure if things have changed but we have always just gone to the host office next to the Diamond lounge and they would give us a voucher to wherever we wanted to eat. They did not take our points. Also same experience in Tunica, I just went to host desk and they gave me vouchers for the buffet.
