Cosmo coupon auction: bid on freebies to benefit the board

United gave my sister and bro-in-law some Cosmo coupons last week and we completely forgot to use them. So, I figured I'd try to auction them off to benefit Vegas Message Board. Some of them aren't worth much - so I'm going to a bundle them with more attractive coupons and sell them as one lot.

Since most of these coupons expire in May, I'm just going to put them all out there. If you're interested, reply with your bid and the number of the lot you're bidding on.

Rules:

1. Winning bidder will send a donation to Sonya via PayPal in the amount of the winning bid. If Sonya doesn't mind, she can then inform me she's got the donation and I'll send the coupon to the winner via USPS. It will be the responsibility of the winning bidder to get me his or her address via PM or a post on this thread. I'll take care of the postage (that is, I'll put a stamp on the envelope...if you want next day air, it's on you).

2. I make no guarantees about anything. I will copy what the coupon says, exactly. But I won't take any responsibility regarding what hoops Cosmo makes you jump through.

3. All disputes will be settled by a vote where the buyer and I each have one vote. In the event of a tie, I will cast the tie breaking vote.


And here are the coupons:

Lot 1: Two coupons

Lot 3: Two Coupons

just a heads up on this as i have the same thing from united. you must use your own money to activate the free play.

 

that's very nice of you .

 

Just checking, are the coupons transferable from whoever they were originally issued to. Wondered since all are redeemable at Identity a Club, does Club ID need to match coupon?

 

There are no Identity numbers on the cards/coupons, nor anything else that would make them "personalized". They were just handed out to the passengers of my sister's flight out to Vegas. I assume the Identity Club redemption is just a way to get people to join.

 

correct. open to all even if you all ready are an identy member. i was hand a few on my flight

 

Okay, 24 hours without a bite...doesn't look like there's much interest. Would anyone be interested if I were to combine lots 1&3 and 2&4? How about as a complete package of all the coupons? Let me know. I can't use them. I was just hoping i might be able to help out the board.

Let me know if there's anything you'd be interested in.

 

I would be interested in the $25 Identity coupons. What are the restrictions. I leave for Vegas in a few days so it would be a quick turn.

 

This is what the card reads:

LET'S PLAY
Enjoy $25 in Identity Play - Free Play to game on your favorite slots.
REDEEM AT IDENTITY MEMBERSHIP DESK

Must be 21 years or older. Valid through 5/1/14 on slot play only. Identity membership required. Terms and conditions apply.

 

If you could mail me the slot coupons by Wednesday in North Carolina I could play the free play thru and send Sonya the winnings. My flight is this Thursday morning thus the tight turn on receiving the free play.

 

I'm in VA so that shouldn't be a problem. PM me your address and I'll get it in the mail tomorrow am.

 

I just Sent it.

 

I'll bid $5 on lot 3 if it's still available. Sorry put lot 2 by accident first time.

 

I'll bid $3 on the $25 Identity Play coupon (don't need anything else).

 

I'm sending one of the $25 Identity Play coupons to bighead1970 who has agreed to donate the winnings from the free play to the board.

The other one is part of Lot 3 on which NYPoker has bid $5. Do I hear $6?


bighead1970: the coupon is in the mail

 

I'll be at Cosmo April 15-19. I'll also donate the winnings for the free play to the board. Or I can bid $6 up front. Could I also get one of the 2for1 cocktail coupons?
Thanks for helping VMB. It's been so helpful for me the past few years.

 

I'll put up $5 on Lot 1.

 

Okay...I'm going to consider the value of your offer $10. If no one wants to offer more than $10, I'll send it to you and you can donate the winnings. As far as the cocktails...if I can't get something for both of them I'll send it to you.


Also to sweeten the pot a little, I'll match whatever the high bids are as a donation to the board. (Within reason...if someone hits a jackpot with the Identity Play - and is [STRIKE]crazy[/STRIKE] generous enough to donate it to the board - that ain't getting matched!)


So, we now have a high bid of $10 on lot 3, $5 on lot 1...and the other $25 Identity Play is on it's way to bighead1970.

 

I am thinking about using the 25 fp in a high denom slot. A small hit would be a nice check. Although I am the worlds worst slot player.

Thoughts?

 

I made sure to read through your first post again and didn't see an end date for the auction. Just asking because we head to Vegas in a couple weeks.
