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.

I got a Boyd mailer which included $20 dining credit. First time I got a dining voucher in more than a year.
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.
"More importantly, mickey thought 8-4 was two games over .500. Argued about it. C'mon, man. Nothing can top that for math expertise. If GWAE ever has you on again, you can be sure I'll be calling in with that gem.'Nuff said." REDIETZ
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..... :/
