Just so I can look for it one day, where would this new forum go? Under the Miles & Points section? Or Travel & Dining? Just curious...

^ to everyone in this discussion.
If anyone has questions about programs down under, I'm happy to research answers. ;)

My suggestion in the private TB forum was that it most logically belongs under "Miles and Points" under "Other Travel Programs/Partners."

But in the end we decided to leave its exact placement to the discretion of Randy/the House of Miles.

Also, what would be the "exact name" for this new (and exciting) forum?

my suggestion was :

Worldwide Gaming and Casino Frequent Customer (Player) Reward (Comp) Programs

I'm thinking "Reward" instead of "Award" as the biggest program out there is Harrah's "Total Rewards" -- so I'm guessing "Rewards" would be the more common nomenclature.

LOL, I've already been in Atlantic City celebrating since Saturday, and a what a celebration it has been. :D

Though, for the life of me, I'm still trying to figure out how Harrah's posted approximately 500 tier (and over 3000 RCs) to my Total Rewards account for under 2 hours of dice play at Showboat - Atlantic City.

Wow.. i'm pretty impressed, actually :eek:

Nice stuff!

Thanks TB.

Name: "Casino Player Loyalty Programs."

And, again, the LAS forum ought to be easy to get to/from the new forum (say, by an additional link under LAS forum).

A sticky explaining the difference and giving a link would be the easiest way.

Excellent decision, this could well bring in a whole bunch of new FTers!

Tip for whoever gets the job of identifying threads for moving into a gaming rewards forum:
Please check 'Other Australian/Asian FFPs' for threads on Viva Macau; while it is a LCC with a doubtful future, it targets Aussies visiting Macau and I imagine frequenting gaming joints owned by Sands and Crown.

Given the airline is discounting as far as AUD$180+ fares in July (SYD rt under AUD$700) I think you'll find some interest in thse threads on trips to visit the current and imminent casinos owned by these companies.

Is it reasonable to think about whether Sands and Crown would comp or discount fare/hotel packages to their rated players? (not me :cool: but I'll visit sometime)
