In yet another silly and infuriating operations blunder, Seven Stars members get 25% off at all CET property gift shops, yet they lose that 25% if they pay with RCs.

Why is that? No idea. But that's the rule, and it's always enforced.

This also applies to room charges (so you can't do the trick of room charging and then paying it off with RCs).

So picture yourself at the Caesars gift shop, and you want to buy a $30 item. You expect to get a 25% discount and the item will become $22.50, which you can pay 2250 RCs. There will also be no tax for that reason.

But wait! You can't! So if you want it, you'll need to pay 3000 RCs -- full price despite your supposed 25% discount.

And guess what? If you do decide to pay cash or credit in order to get the discount, you'll be paying sales tax! So that $22.50 item becomes $22.50 plus 8.1% tax in Vegas, meaning it becomes $24.32!

So that's not even a 25% discount anyway.

What a stupid restriction. Why should it matter how you pay?
