When they pay hosts a commission on your play, do they subtract the comps you're redeeming?
I ask this because I play irregularly, but still enough to hit Seven Stars (which, as you know, is a minimum of $500,000 VP coin-in). However, if I make a few trips without play, my hosts get very frustrated. In fact, I got "fired" from my host recently and transferred to another one (this host is still there, btw, so it's not a matter of her quitting). Also, hosts tend to want to do NOTHING for me, to the point where it is clear they would really prefer I don't come at all.
This leaves me perplexed, as I do put $500k of coin-in through by the end of the year, and others who play less get treated better.
I don't think I am being persecuted or singled out. I think that it has to do with the number of comps I'm redeeming, and that it absolutely destroys any commission the hosts can get from me.
Any insight on this?
