In the last couple of weeks, Caesars has updated its Great Gift Wrap Up online catalog with many new offers.
What I was looking for are the gift cards for Shell gasoline and this year 35,000 Great Gift Wrap Up points will get you a $100 Shell gas card. You get a $10 card for 3,500 points. But don't chuckle over that -- because when you are trying to squeeze every last point out of your GGWU point balance those $10 gift cards for Shell and for restaurants and coffee shops come in handy.
In years past there was also a "free play" option for odd amounts of "left over" points.
There are two sessions for redeeming your points and remember that the GGWU points are in addition to your regular Total Rewards points so shopping at the GGWU will not affect your other comps.
Here ae the dates:
November 8 - 12, 2012
Flamingo Las Vegas
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST
November 29 - December 3, 2012
Caesars Palace
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST
Usually shipping of gift items is pretty prompt though last year a couple of gift items we wanted could not be shipped before the holidays. Substitute items were offered but we stuck with the original request.
Check the online catalog at www.greatgiftwrapup.com to see some of the prices and selections. If you don't see exactly what you want be sure to check back because items are added right up to the start of the event.
And several years ago we found low priced items that were not on the website that you could take with you from the event.
