Nope. My June statement was published July 8, on time, but no mention or credit for the Spring bonus.

Seems like last year, it was bout April 14th before the Winter bonus showed up. I could be misremembering, but I think it came after the monthly accounting.

The rules of the promotion said that the rewards would be posted by July 15th. I am in Vegas this week, but going home on the 13th. Arrgghh.

And I'm going to ask for a 'Vegas TR' as well.

diamond = no resort fees at cet hotels, which is ~$25/day :o :(

Eff the pricks I say, but that's just me.
I didn't earn this bonus so I'm not watching for it.
Have the opportunity to meet with my host and ask WTF this Fri evening.
Sparkles says no, though we are going right by on the way deep into the mtns for the annual pow wow.
Jhit, I say for CET Tribal situations.
Jhit I say for Sparkles' attitude on the subject ( admittedly, she is more logical than me ).
Jhit I say, just, just, just jhit! Just 2F

Yep, actually for Mrs. Q. We like seeing shows while we are here.

She stopped to see a host-type in the Diamond Registration area.

What we hoped they would say:

"Well, we value you as a customer and if it would make you happy to get a couple of show tickets, then that's the least we can do. It doesn't really cost us anything, we weren't going let you see a sold-out show. And it's only a couple of days until you get those bonus credits. So what show would you like to see ?"

What they actually said:
- paraphrased -

"Uh, there's nothing we can or will do. I won't even pick-up the phone and call anybody. Come back after July 15th (if we are still in business then). Bye-bye now {fake smug smile}. Have a nice day and f/u."

I would have expected nothing less, to be honest. :(

As you know, with the Spring Fling 50 % promo, all Mrs. Q had to do was:

1.5 x ( 2500 in One Day + 5000 Daily Bonus AND 1000 in One Day + 1000 Daily Bonus ) +750 = 15,000

So what's the hold on a $ Slot Machine ? I don't know. But let's guess that it is typically 6.5 %, and who knows maybe that's on the low side.

0.065 x 3500 x $ 5 = $ 1137.50

I'd say Mrs. Q is pretty typical. Is it worth it ? Well that depends. How often do you go to Vegas ? How much is a comped room worth to you ? Do you like shows ? Do you hate resort fees ? Does a slot player get better hotel offers than a VP player ? How frustrating is it to you to travel all day and then have to stand in line for 30 minutes to check-in ? Do you like taking a break in the Diamond lounge ? Is not having $ 1137.50 going to create any sort of financial hardship ?

yes, founder club.
no, do not have one.

made my diamond w/9/6 JoB.
theoretically cheaper than the founders club.
$50k coin-in x .5% = $250 theo loss
I was lucky and actually made +$1000 (and didn't hit a royal!)

I did this and I believe it was EV+ for me. Doesn't generate any comps though.

1137 for diamond is not even remotely close to worth it- I can't even imagine spending that to make diamond

Do 9/6 machines that are $10/TC exist?
