Thread: Trying to claim my 7 Stars Experience

  1. #21
    Today my gas tank is near empty... so later I will be going to Shell to use my FRN card to see fi the $4/gallon credit is really there (it was supposed to be available on April 15). I have a 14 gallon tank so after my first fill up I will see if the remaining 6 gallon credit at $4 per gallon remains for the second visit. I haven't forgotten and I will report back.

    Thanks Alan

    I am curious about this and waiting to sign up.

    Yes, I filled up my tank yesterday with premium at Shell for a price of 45.9-cents per gallon. I bought 14.705 gallons (and I thought my car has a 14-gallon tank!). The $4 per gallon discount for my "Seven Stars Experience" was there.

    The question is... when I go back to Shell this month will I get the balance of the "up to $80 savings" per month?

    My savings yesterday was $58.82 but I should be getting a discount worth another $21.18.

    You can use the website to see all activity:

    https://www.fuelrewards.com/fuelrewards/

    When you set up your account it will ask for your card #.

    Never use a debit card at any gas pump.

    Just got gas and I did NOT get the discount I expected. I will be calling TR on Monday.

    But there is a solution -- buy gas for both cars at the same time.

    Yup, exactly as I suspected. I had a hard time believing that FRN modified their system just for Caesar's.

    How can you fill both cars at the same time? Wouldn't that require a second driver?

    Also, FRN has a 25-gallon limit per fill-up.

    On a side note, if the pump read 14.7 gallons when your tank is listed as 14 gallons, you might have been cheated. I've seen inaccuracies on both sides of the spectrum. Most recently, I filled up in South Dakota last summer, expecting to need about 15 gallons, and after "2 gallons", the pump clicked off. It took a few tries to restart it to realize that my tank had completely filled, and the pump just wasn't recording properly.

    Why not just let it go? Isn't your time worth something to you, and who do you expect will even care about such a problem enuf to fix it somehow?

    Actually, the question is why did I get the wrong information? Not whether or not the FRN system was modified or not.

    This is not difficult. I already discussed it with my son since I pay for the gas in the "company car." He simply follows me to the Shell station and I put 14 gallons in my car, and 6 gallons in the company car. Actually, many Shell customers do this now with the Ralph's Rewards program at Shell.

    Not a problem since the Caesars discount of $4 only applies to 20 gallons per month.

    I doubt I was cheated. I would not swear in court that my car has a 14 gallon tank -- only that in the past I was able to put in about 14 gallons. I admit that since I was getting $4/gallon off that I did my best to "top off" the tank -- as best as you can these days with the new pumps/nozzles.

    I sent an email to the department that handles the sign-up of the "experiences" and a copy to my host. I will give them a day or two to respond and then I will call. The email:

    Hi. I signed up for the "gas experience" via the toll-free number, and I received a $4/gal discount on my first fill-up on April 16. Everything was flawless.

    But my "fill up" was only for about 14.7 gallons, and I expected the $4/gallon discount to also be available for about 5.3 gallons on my next fill-up. However, when I went back for more gas on April 19, there was no credit.

    When I signed up for the "gas experience" I specifically asked about this and was told that whatever "credit" was not used on the first fill-up would carry-over to the next fill-up. I even asked if the credits that were not used in one month would be carried over to the following month. And to both questions the answers I received were "yes."

    I would like clarification of this.

    I signed up for the "gas experience" using two "experience credits" because I was told that I could receive my full $80/month discount in multiple visits each month and that unused gas credits would carry-over to the following month.

    If your representative spoke in error, tell me that.

    If the representative was correct in what I was told then please explain how this error on the part of the Fuel Rewards Credit will be corrected.

    Thank you.

    Alan, the current way the FRN system works presents another problem that you may not realize.

    I know that you were planning upon "stacking" the Signature Experience gas benefit -- that is, buying a few of them. So if you redeem it twice, instead of $80/month in gas, you will get $160/month.

    Unfortunately, it looks like this will be impossible. If they attempt to stack them, you will get $8 off per gallon, which you will never be able to use unless the gas prices go up to $8 per gallon!

    It will be impossible under the current system to place a second $4 off discount on your FRN account, as FRN's system is programmed to reset to zero immediately after use.

    Like many things at CET, this promotion was poorly thought out, and the reps have no clue how it actually works.

    I think you're right and the TR Rep I spoke to may have been wrong with the info she provided. I specifically asked if I purchased the "experience" a second time if I would get a total of 40 gallons with a $4/gal discount. I was told yes. But now, I don't believe it. If I do purchase the "experience" again I will want to see the deal in writing.

    Just got a call from TR regarding my email. They admit to the confusion about the rules and details and offered a full refund of my "experience credits."

  14. #34
    An update: I received a "refund" of the two experience credits I "cashed in" for the gas discounts. I used those two experience credits for two of the $500 "Reward Credits" cards and I picked up the two $500 cards which I was at Caesars over the weekend. These can be used at Caesars hotels, restaurant, shops and the list of stores in the Forum shops that will accept the "credits" is supposed to be released soon.

    So are you still going to get the $4 off per gallon next month? They might be incompetent enough to let that happen.

    Anyway, hilarious how I knew more about the way it would work with FRN than anyone at CET. Just pathetic how misinformed they frequently are, and how they didn't see the flaws with this "gas for a year" plan from the start.

    They could have just given you $960 on Shell gas cards per 2 experience credits, but instead they do this FRN garbage.

    Also, some Shell stations don't even take FRN cards.

    Big mess all around.

    Nope. Already checked. I do have a 20-cent per gallon credit from my regular play, but I don't know which "play" that represents. I am pretty sure there is a delay between casino play and when FRN discounts show up.

    Two excellent points. Actual Shell Gas Cards would have been perfect. And there isn't even one Shell station that accepts the FRN discounts within something like 50 miles of Rincon and many of the players at Rincon have complained about this. Even here in West LA and the San Fernando Valley there are only a couple of Shell Stations accepting FRN. The one I use is the Shell at the White Oak Ave exit of the 101 Freeway which also happens to have a lower price than many other Shell stations because of the proximity to competitors.

    Aaron could you please post the link to where you got that list of stores? Total Rewards told me to go to this page:

    https://prepaid.cardgistics.com/cust...ars/cgift1/359

    And they do not show any stores -- only the casino restaurants, casino stores, etc.

    Are you looking at current data? When I called my host on Monday I was told the list for 2014 would not be available for some time... and TR sent me an email that said it might not actually be completed until the fourth quarter.

  19. #39
    Alan

    It was:
    https://www.totalrewards.com/e-total...tcard-faq.html

    Then Nevada under Merchants.

    It looks like it might be for old cards. (Don't know the difference)

  20. #40
    Hi Aaron. I'm afraid that is from "last year's" info, but hopefully the same stores will be available this year. I share your opinion that the $500 gift cards are the best use of the 7 Stars experiences.
