Tiffany's gift cards

[redietz]

That's right. I can't make this shit up. Average shoe price from Zappos is about $50, but prices range from $15 to $200. Let's say Dan spends $100 per pair averaging shoes for his son and himself and girlfriend. That's 60 pair of shoes. If he buys a total of 20 pair per year that's 3 years of online shoe buying. What a deal.

The Macy's gift card deals at Caesars weren't good enough? Had he played at the Caesars promotion he would have Macy's cards and rooms for the WSOP.

Alan, you keep ignoring the point made by Boz that the Zappos cards could have been earned incidentally while working some play with a different primary benefit (cash back,mailers, free play, tier level, etc.). If this is the case, then the Zappos gift card worth is gravy.

It's solid knowledge that anyone who goes into a play where they've created a "+EV" play out of it, will always use the full expected value of a gift card promotion as a part of the calculation to play. We've even seen info from other ap's here which tout the Cosmo's gift card promos in the past as AP-gems. Yet only after the tough questions pop up does the agenda change to "no AP uses the full value in their play theories".

Sorry guys, the dam broke long ago....

LOL. "It's solid knowledge..." Is that different from gaseous knowledge or fluid knowledge? What kind of a reference to authority is that? Is that the kind of writing they taught to engineers?

I've only gotten a few gift cards in my life from casinos, and it never even occurred to me to count them as anything. So I guess I would be one of them thar APer guys who don't count them gift cards as bein' worth nuttin'.

Am I getting the "engineer" lingo down? I'm sorry, dude. My best friends in college were all engineers. One was nuclear, one electrical, one was some kind of general. I edited many of their papers. They tried to pull the same inane passive voice appeal-to-authority stuff you just did. To quote our Prez, "Sad."
