Foxwoods...new tier structure effective 2/15

[MizSlotQueen]

This evening Foxwoods finally posted the player card information. I have to say, I feel they are going in the wrong direction in encouraging players to be loyal.

All points expire 1 year from the date they are earned.

I see my access to the player lounge has been reduced to Monday - Thursday -- and I NEVER visit except on weekends. Now, I have only used the Player's Lounge twice in my entire life, but it is the principle of the thing that galls me. It also says I can only get hotel room comps during the week, too (although I have to think promotional offers based on recent play trump the player card offers...)

To get to mid-level player card (King) is around $225,000 coin-in over twelve months, while Diamond at CET is earned at $55,000, and from what I can see, Foxwoods is not willing to pony up perks commensurate even with CET's lower level Platinum. Bah. If I needed an excuse to not worry about being loyal to Foxwoods, they have given it to me.

I guess they must have so many Royal level players that they have decided not to encourage us lower level players.

Don't hold your breath!.....They better post something. It will be a nightmare for the few hosts on the floor this weekend if they don't have materials to reference. I'll be there through Sunday. I'll get some feedback from folks.

I will be interested to know if they have changed the calculation of points (it has been roughly $90 = 1 point), and whether they have actually dropped the criteria of earning 15 points before you can keep the points earned during a day. Good luck. Win!

Hi. Do you guys have any more info on the expiring points? I have 215 points now. Does that mean in a year they will be gone? Can you use points at the Apple store at mgm/foxwoods? Thanks

Calculation has been $140 of bets per point for a while now.

7beasley. A friend of mine who is Diamond Elite was told by his host he must use all his points by June.

Foxwoods Rewards Exchange – 2 points for $1

Bummer no more cigars.Points can't be used for tobacco, or gift cards anymore.

I think it would be VERY important to determine whether it is being operated like CET properties where your TIER points expire in a year but your REWARD points stay on as long as there is activity every 6 months.....

BIG difference than having ALL your points expire which would make zero sense

From the Foxwoods website...

•Foxwoods Rewards Points will expire 12 months from the date on which they are earned.

I did read that but I can't believe it. So points are going to be disappearing from accounts as the 1 year time frame moves on...and when you use points for a dinner which ones are used??? The ones you just earned or the ones that are 364 days old??? ..and how do you know when you have points soon to expire???

I can see this as a fiasco with everyone cashing out their accounts and having to use points as they accrue...

Sounds like a cash out for me and a move across the river to the other tribe. I have close to 4000 points and have no clue when the oldest ones were earned. Not worth the risk of donating them back...

Dumb move on their part......

I would assume it is going to be FIFO(First In, First Out) They know when the points were earned. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
