This question is about "monthly bounce back money." Some casinos will send you a "rebate" on your previous month's slot or table game play in the form of a voucher. At some casinos bounce back money replaced "cash back" which could be redeemed at the end of each visit.
Suppose you got in the mail your monthly "bounce back coupon" and for this discussion let's put the value at $300. As usual, with this "bounce back money" you must show up at the casino to redeem the coupon and you have a 30-day window to do it. For this example, the casino is close enough for a day-trip and no overnight stay is required.
Here are your choices:
1. Go to the casino, and play your $300 of bounce back money at your favorite game.
2. Go to the casino, cash in your $300 coupon but do not play it. You could elect to have lunch or spend the money in the gift shop, but you do not bet the money. You might even put the $300 in your pocket and leave after parking in the self-parking area saving yourself the tip for the valet.
3. Ignore the bounce back coupon for $300 and put it in your desk drawer keeping it because you have no plans now to go to the casino but you might within the 30-day window for redeeming the coupon.
4. Throw the coupon away. $300 of bounce back money won't make you plan a trip within the 30-days and you have no trip planned.
Do any of those choices appeal to you, or what you would do?
