I agree -- CET has no three-to-five year plan. LoneStar, I am not a big vp or CET player. I'm 99% a sports player, and we no longer get comped for much of anything (a 5K bet at Harrah's didn't get me a sandwich; neither did a 10K boxing bet at the Venetian), but I still keep tabs on the various programs. Dan is like the Yoda of CET. While I understand your point about stopping at a certain point level to make a point, it kills me that you won't get max value from them. Take the max value, baby.

A friend of mine plays everywhere, but he likes Paris as his home base, so I understand your wife's preferences.

Anyway, welcome and get your max value.
