Much like Aunt Josie who only flies once/year on an award ticket from her brother, I'd like to see an assessment of what type of play is necessary to make it worth my while to participate in the various programs.

I typically only play low-level blackjack, pai gow poker, hold-em, and some 9/6 or maybe 9/5 Deuces Wild. At most Vegas casinos, it's not worth my effort to even get a card if I can even find a place to play, but at some non-Vegas casinos I can get a reasonable comp with 2-3 hours of play (except for hold-em, where the card is really only good for calling ahead to reserve a seat).
