Slot play may have the most
objectively measurable negative impact, but I find it hard to believe anyone really thinks slot players are the ones hurt most by the leadup to/rollout of mlife and other various comp changes over the last 8-9 months or so.

The host said she can comp me this and that but I was hoping I could get comp rooms the easy way like with my TR.
Thing is though, we'd need to have an accurate comp valuation system in place before trying to do website comps, at least in the current form. The determination of so-called "expresscomps" is a joke for table players, so as it is, you'd have to go through a host to get anything meaningful anyway.
I started the year with 784k+ tier points (=mlife pts), played the weekend of 1/20-23 at Mandalay Bay and Bellagio and ended with 825k+ pts. I just checked my acct and it shows 744k+--why the sudden
decrease. I got shuttled around to a few agents until I spoke to someone who knew: as you earn points they roll off the acct after 12 months, so even though the mlife system just started the tier points total actually is cumulative for 12 months back. Status In MLIFE, once earned, is good for 1 year from that date.
[In Harrahs system you retain status (once earned) until March of the following year--but on 1/1 of each year your base points get reset to 0].
PS: That I had to speak with several agents before I got an answer signals (to me) that they did not plan the MLIFE system too well.
This 12-month rolling qualification period has been in the FAQ on the mlife website, btw.
