The Thread sailed a long way from my original subject so I did not think anyone really cared for further information. But since pkspins and Alan, asked, I will oblige with an update. Prior to wife and I returning to the M Resort on Aug 5th for the first half of the total $500 loss rebate, Wife received in the mail an offer for $80 free play, plus one free night stay and $20 in food. Staying at the M Resort was not a requirement for the $80 free play and $20 in food. We visited the boothling and was told that the free play $250 in loss reimbursement and $80 in free play were already loaded on the card. We could have just skipped going to the slot club booth if we wanted as I already knew the PIN.
Wife went to get some food at the deli near the players club to use the $20 amount (also loaded on her card), while I played some full pay ACES Bonus Video poker (8/5 plus the very rare ACES Bonus) on the total of $330 in free play we had. I played some at the $0.25 level and some at $0.50. I hit a few full houses and flushes but no quads. I only played the free play once then cashed out. Below is a photo of the resulting $303.75. It was well within the margin of volatility and we were fine with the result, including the complimentary food.
We expect to come back in September to access the second $250 rebate amount.

Thanks for the update. That rebate playing seems to be working out just fine. We had an eclipse, you played the rebate -- the world didn't end and you won money. "Surprise, surprise," as Gomer Pyle used to say.
And I hear some companies still need hand models to replace George Costanza. You have a great shot.
I guess I may have a career as a "hand model."
For those interested, it looks like the $500 rebate promo is still being listed on the M Resort website:

LOL. Good one red.
M Resort has discontinued its $500 loss-rebate promotion, according to Las Vegas Advisor:

Hi pkspins:
To bookend the Rebate story, I went with Wife to M Resort this Saturday.
The last half of the loss rebate of $250 in free play was already on the card and we accessed it using the PIN on the Video Poker machine. We played the free play on full pay 8/5 ACES Bonus Poker at the $0.50 denomination. We started off pretty cold but caught up a little at the end. After playing through the money once, we cashed out at $205.00. Less than expected, but within our expected range of deviation. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the voucher before we cashed it, so no "hand model" pics for the forum.
So in summary, I won $660 on my rebate attempt. Wife lost $500 in cash on the day of play, but had $500 in free play, plus $80 in promotional play triggered due to her losses at slots. We played all her free play on video poker and cashed out $508.75
So drum roll . . . . Final result for us was a net profit of $668.75, plus $20 in snacks and bottled juices.
A very successful gambit for us. Also it was fun as we played highly volatile high limit slots we normally do not play -- which was a hoot.

Great job Fab!!
Way to go!
Thank you for coming back to share the rest of the story.
I played the $35 on a 8/5 Bonus poker machine at 50 cents but kept playing until I only had $20 bucks left and obtained this payment voucher.
So my family's net profit on this Rebate gambit was $688.75, plus $20 in snacks and bottled juices. I doubt we will have any free play after we virtually "no played" the M Resort in the last couple of visits.
Still, it was quite a worthwhile effort.
