Thread: Free play offer resumes from Boyd

  1. #1
    Boyd sent me an email that I'll be getting $35 of free play twice a week at the Boyd Vegas casino of my choice. This is the first free play offer for me since the Covid shutdown.

    We have been getting offers food/free play during COVID, but we are out of town.

    Interesting. So you received no offers from Boyd since they re-opened now a year and then this email out of the blue, Andrew?

    So when casinos reopened a year ago last june, my Boyd offers resumed at a similar amount to where they where at shutdown. Only difference was they had designated one Boyd property as my home property, where my Free play was good at, as opposed to good at any property. So I do or did a cycle thing with my free play. Hit a big coin in day, get top offers for a few months and then it begins to dwindle down for a couple months until I hit another big coin in day.

    So my offers were dwindling down in the fall (2020), so I hit a big coin in day, I think October and in Decemeber got $450 free play, $50, twice a week. This $450 amount was less than I was expecting based on past cycles for this coin in. And then it abruptly stopped. No dwindling down. I got one month at that $450 amount and then zero the following month and have received zero since.

    To provide context, as an out-of-towner, I am getting zip. I haven't played since February of last year.

    They don't even send paper ad cards to me any more. I had been getting a minimum of a dozen free rooms a year, sometimes two dozen. On the other hand, my girlfriend, also an out-of-towner, has been getting her emails and paper cards in the mail for substantial free rooms, free tournament entries, and minimal free play (usually $35 or so per visit). She is getting both property non-specific offers and specific offers. And she hasn't played since December of 2019.

    I'm a little miffed, but that's the way it goes. I even made the effort and jammed 11K in slot play on one day in 2018 to liven up my profile (lost just $100), figuring it would boost offers. But it really didn't. I don't know if it protected offers that might have been reduced otherwise -- no way for me to tell. But it was disappointing.

    The tournaments she plays for free, they want me to shell out $99 plus pay the resort fee for the rooms. If these were video poker tournaments, I'd probably do it. But they stopped their video poker tournaments.

    Interesting Redietz. Very small sample size, but almost seems like they have purged players not worth much to them, players playing with an advantage or even a slight disadvanatge (like I am) but using the mail offers to get to +EV., While at the same time, still interested in players like your GF and Andrew (no offense andrew) that play more -EV and are worth more.

    Boyd has sort of been heading in the wrong direction, cutting offers and such for a while even before Covid. Covid may have just pushed them a little more to purge some of us "undesirable".

    I really don't care. I am getting away from machine play again, focusing more on blackjack again. I don't need their offers. BUT if they are the only local buffet left in town, I may have to do something to bank some points.

    Redeitz gf receiving better offers could be as a result of racial or sex demographic marketing. Some casinos will discriminate or provide preferential treatment based on those factors. I did not see where he mentioned what she played. Many casinos have “Asian marketing” departments.

    Good point, mcap. It's not blatantly stated, but I'm pretty sure Boyd does "Asian marketing" as you said. All things equal, the Asian last names get better offers.

    Lifetime Californians probably have their own marketing rules, also.

    I got a Boyd mailer which included $20 dining credit. First time I got a dining voucher in more than a year.

    Make sense in that food places are 100% open. Any word on Boyd buffets. I see this as good way to grab some Stations business.

    The mailer said nothing about buffets. Suncoast used to have a free buffet every Friday for dinner for all club card holders regardless of status.

    Andrew, you must run into Alan Mendelson quite a bit when you are at the casinos. You and him have the same haunts.

    My Free play offers came back as soon as reopening back one year ago last June. I don't get why you are JUST getting your free play offers from Boyd back. Casinos across the Country came back about a YEAR ago..... :/

    Take comfort in the fact that no one is actually backing up his wishes to have you permanantly banned.

    I guess small players like me had to wait to get offers.

    What Tier are you? I am a Second Tier Card Player, so my offers are double what a First Tier Card Player gets.
