Promotion Questions, Clarifications, and December Additions

CAESARS

Q:  Two questions. One, I just earned Seven Stars status in Dec. Will it be good through 3/17? Also, Caesars ran a point promotion in the first of 2015. Do you know if it will be repeated?

A:  The best place to find answers to CZR  tier benefit questions is to go to http://www.sevenstarsinsider.com/.  But to try to predict policies or what might be offered at a CZR property in the future, there’s NO PLACE to get those answers since I don’t think anyone at CZR knows what will happen from one day to the next!

 

PALMS

Here is the nitty-gritty on the Palms Mystery Multiplier offered on some days during December.  They called it “Surprise Multipliers, Get up to 15x points.”  Well they surprised me for sure – but not in a good way.  Of course when I went to swipe to find out my multiplier I was hoping for the 15x or perhaps close to that bonus, but I’ve done enough promotions to know that it was more likely that I would get a much smaller multiplier.  Not to our surprise Brad and I each got 2x.  When I went to the players club to activate this multiplier, I was joking with them that I was disappointed that we didn’t a bigger multiplier.  They informed me that we got “2nd prize” since the highest multiplier for video poker players was 3x.  Hummmm….another trick promotion, another wrinkle I didn’t expect.

No mention in the rules about up to 15x only applied to slots.  Here is what the mailer said: “Swipe your card at any promotional kiosk and get a random multiplier. Bring the receipt to Club Palms and the points accumulated that day will be adjusted 48-72 hours later. Video poker has a cap of 40,000 adjusted points per day. Reels have no cap. Non-promotional machines are not valid. Offers are not transferable and may not be combined with any other offer. Multiplier valid from 12:01 a.m. through 22:59 p. on date listed above only. Must be 21 years of age or older.”

BOYD PROPERTIES (Sam’s Town, The Orleans, Suncoast, and Gold Coast)

There is a lot of confusion about these Wednesday senior programs. There are TWO separate promotions: “Young at Heart” and “Young at Heart after Dark”   These both run at all FOUR properties. Some of the details for each casino are the same; some are different. Check out these Websites for COMPLETE details. Note that these programs have an ending date – the end of the year – as does the Gold Coast Senior Bonus Mondays. We will have to check in January what senior programs will continue or if there will be new ones.

    I’ve heard on Dec 14 there is a toy drive promotion at the Linq. Supposedly when you donate a toy you get to ride the wheel for free. Do you know any of the specifics. Times etc.
