Resorts Mailer!

And just in time, because I no longer receive an AC Hilton mailer. Now, I do have to earn 3 points to receive my gift offers (and I'd love to know how much coin in a "point" takes) but I'm pleased just getting the mailer.

This was triggered by about an hour of quarter 8/5 BP play in April with Harv and Cath.

There's nothing I want to earn in June, but I'll probably keep receiving the mailers.

I've decided to give my Total Rewards and Trump cards a rest for the summer. My theos at both places are in the garbage and I want to take a shot at redeeming myself, especially since I no longer go to AC ten times a month. If I don't start to get Friday night comp rooms at TP in the fall, I'm going to let my Chairman's Card lapse. That is THE ONLY perk that Trump gives me above Harrah's. Trump did really well marketing to me: I was bumping up in denomination and starting to play short games during an entire year of losing there. Even with this escalation in play they still cut my offers for the summer. The last straw was finding out that Lydia receives THE EXACT SAME OFFERS AS I DO, after she played there casually a few times. Give me a damn break. It's time for me to wise up.

I'll give my Borgata and Resorts cards some use for the summer.

I'm using $200 as an estimate for the coin-in needed to earn a point a Resorts. I'm basing this estimate on my play on May 3rd, where I played 50 cent 8/5 BP for 31 minutes and earned 5 points. I estimate that I was playing about 800 hands per hour at the time. At $2.50 per hand, that would mean I was betting $2,000 per hour or $1,000 for the half hour I played. That would come out to $200 coin-in for each of the 5 points I earned.

I'm curious if others have found similar rates for earning points at Resorts.

The desk says points earned depends on denomination and time, so quarters probably earn at a slower rate (and dollars faster).

Perhaps we can make a study during our July stay.

Last month after having not played before April, I received 1-2 nights ANY day through May. Of course, all of the weekend dates were unavailable. I still received Friday night offers for June. Its probably too late to get those dates as well.

We could always share the free buffet coupons. . .
