    Just got back home (trip report coming soon)
    Had a lot of play at Boyd properties and was wondering how long i will recieve offers from them. Will probably be over a year before we return to vegas and later this year before returning to a Boyd property depending on when Belterra Indiana move is completed. Any help appreciated. The journey of planning next trip has started.

    The Belterra purchase will take a while.
    Look at Aliante and Cannery, almost 2 years now, still no sign of integration.
    Offers will continue for at least 1 year I believe.

    If you had a lot of play, you may be better off contacting a host for your next trip rather than counting on marketing offers. Worst they can do is say no, which they rarely say to me and I am mostly a 10K per day coin in on VP player.

    Thanks I will try that. Earned 15k points but almost entirely on the $3:1 full pay machines so I'm guessing 35-40k coin over 4 different days at their properties

    Imwould monitor my account. 5 months out from your next visit contact a host at the property you played. Give them the dates you visited and the dates you plan to return. Like someone said, all they can say is no. But 15k wasn't even getting you 60% to sapphire 2nd level). If you earned 15k points, each point equals a dollar in except as you noted. So maybe closer to 45k. Try to figure out less busy times. Check their calendar for events, meetings, etc.

    Good luck.

    I think 15K is a lot, i play far less and receive regular offers, typically 3 nights free, I also play a fair amt of BJ though.

    From my history it will take 3 months to get the first offers.

    Be aware that, with Boyd, points drop off in the order they're earned... so even with regular play, those 15K points you earned during your March 2017 trip will vanish on 4-1-18, even if you played once a month over the last year....so, yeah - you could be Sapphire or Emerald on 3/31 and become 'Ruby' the next day.
    It's happened to me twice.

    I did a drive by at Orleans once and it took a month, maybe two, I started having comp nights show up in my online account and I got a couple of mailers several months apart. I never took them up on it and didn't play there again, and the comp nights stopped exactly one year after my visit. I still get a mailer from them maybe twice a year, but no comps, just discounts.
