I was so tempted to throw out the holiday card that arrived in the mail from Total Rewards today. After all it looked like a plain, ordinary Christmas card. And when I opened it, it was a plain, ordinary Christmas card. And I was tempted to throw it in the trash again. But that's when curiosity got hold of me and I opened it -- and it's lucky I did. Inside were two guest passes for two-nights each at Caesars. Caesars sent them to me so that I could give them as gifts. Printed on the passes it says "Enjoy Two Free Nights from Alan Mendelson valid January 2 through September 27, 2012."

Very cool. And I certainly didn't expect that.
