Exchanging Players Cards and Free Play Offers?

[carolinajacket]

I have heard from an agent who got this directly from a casino rep that among other things limo access will be restricted to a higher level of Seven Star, free play will be harder to obtain, free meals will be harder -- and other cuts to come. I wish they would go ahead and send out next year's program so we know exactly what we will be dealing with.

This is odd, because Seven Stars status has nothing to do with freeplay or free meals. Those are offered at the local property level based upon recent and semi-recent play. Your tier status does NOT increase or decrease your freeplay or free meal rewards. I am Seven Stars, yet I get almost no freeplay or free meals, while people I know who are Gold get some fairly nice offers (FAR exceeding mine!)

The Seven Stars program mainly offers constant or predictable 1-time perks such as:

- Free rooms
- Annual trip
- Annual cruise
- Annual gift
- Priority valet parking
- Better exchange rates for RCs to freeplay
- Priority lines
- Priority restaurant reservations
- Limos from airport

I am finding myself constantly having to correct friends who believe that I can get them free rooms and free meals in Vegas, simply because I have Seven Stars status.

Anyway, perhaps the cuts you heard about are more related to freebie offers, rather than Seven Stars benefits/perks. It sure sounds like it.

Still, Alan raises a good point in that it's also possible they will either cut Seven Stars perks, make it tougher to achieve Seven Stars, or both.

Hopefully they will at least release these changes sometime within the next month or so, as it's unfair to have people playing for these statuses "in the dark", without knowing when they'll get there or what they will get for it. But I could easily see CET waiting until almost April to release this stuff, knowing them.
