Yes, I never intended to even get into all that. When I moved to Vegas a fellow AP told me about the mailer situation, and how casinos, especially all the off strip (locals) casinos, were literally competing for the local players, by sending out generous mail offers. His exact words were "that not taking advantage of this was leaving money on the table".
So I started playing what I am sure you and others would consider a small amount of VP at a handful of casinos that I played blackjack at anyway. Then the mailers started rolling in and I expanded to a few more. The next thing I knew it was really overwhelming me. Between the planning and trying to co-ordinate the play and playing it, this part of my AP, which was supposed to be supplemental was talking up more time than my primary AP blackjack card counting. That is when I turned it over to my partner and said "here, this is going to be your job".
After he passed away, I took it back over but by then many casinos had already started cutting down and cutting back. And I dropped some of the smaller out of way places and just focused on a handful of places that I played at anyway. Now I am down to almost nothing.
