Default Re: Multiple comp offers from Harrah\'s

Well, yes, I've gotten more than one offer at the same time from a Harrah's property.

However, based on your post, it appears 3 of the 4 are date related. Thus, it appears you can use the 400 buck travel reimbursement anytime in October with any (one) of the other 3 offers.

Your best bet is to call the toll free number (that they provided you with the offers) and ask them. They are not the big bad wolf here, in fact, if you don't get what you want from the first person, ask for a casino host. If they can't give it to you, ask for their supervisor. Be sure to be nice and polite at each stop, but be firm in what you want from them. If they can give it to you, they usually will do so.

Do NOT volunteer that your play was just a one time thing from a drunken stop over in Vegas. Let them think you ALWAYS drop that kind of money when you go play (it'll help you get more out of them when you call them).

As for me, I never ever play even one "game" inside a casino, without first making sure I have that casino's players card on me. If I don't have one, I sign up for it, if I lost the card, or left it at home, I get dulicate copy of one. To not obtain and play with a Casino Player's card, is very -EV, because you're going to spend the money anyway, why not get something extra while doing it? Having and using a players card, allows you to do just that. Many don't do it because they think, "well, I'm not really going to play very much". Not realizing that those wins and such, also add up over time (Especially with a Harrah's card, because they have so many casinos spread out across the country), and count towards your 'play' for comps and so on.

Always remember, Casinos and comps are like the Military, they both have a 'Don't ask don't tell' Policy.

If you don't ask for a comp of something you want, they (The casino) won't tell you it's available.
