MyVegas New Rewards Restrictions

+1. I'm not complaining either since I didn't put a single cent into the game. Just redeemed two one-night stays in a Deluxe Room at Mirage, which saved me ~$300. I have another 80K LP to use for my trip... Too bad I can't redeem for another one-night stay in the Deluxe Room...

 

Actually... you can.

The unlock 1 night deluxe room is 37,500 and MyVegas allows you to redeem for 2 of them instead of just 1 like most of the other hotel rooms. When you call to redeem them (so I've read elsewhere) they can link the 3 or 4 room nights so that you don't have to change rooms.

 

I already unlocked that award and I redeem for two of those. I tried to redeem for my third one but it was a no go.

 

i never stay more then 4 days in vegas and some stuff i like to do is not a prize on myvegas.... 3 prizes per 30 day period ? still a good deal for FREE

 

Really? Does it change for players?

I can get 3 nights at Mirage for 13K
a $50.00 dining credit at Mone Carlo that will get me 3 free buffets for 25K and still have points keft over.


Or I can get 4 nights at Excalibur for 7K
And tickets to Carrot Top for under 32K
And play on my 1Mil in chips and score a couple buffets for at Luxor for 22K


Here is a screen shot right now of me viewing my rewards.

Please explain what you see!

 

If you click on the specific room reward it states that it is for one night out of the three, not all three nights.

 

Ahh I never bothered since my room is comped the old fashion way. 7,000 points for a night isnt bad Room left over for a couple buffets as well. Not sure where Mitkraft got the cheapest 2 night stay is over 40,000 points. What am I missing there? Do they not let you use the 7,000 offer twice?

 

Plus that is only for specific dates, not for anytime in a 90 day period use for the rooms. Two nights, a show such as Carrot top and a few buffets will set you back around 70-80K normally, not 40K. And good luck getting 22K for playing with a million chips, unless you do it over numerous days, it just wont happen. Maybe 10k for those million chips at most. I sat at a million chips for the better part of 2 weeks and got maybe 30k playing daily for hours at a time. If thats the case you wont be using the comps for late Jan because you wont have time to make your 22K extra chips!

Regardless, I played the game for about 3-4 weeks and got a free night, show tickets frontrow center, and 75$ food credit. I never once payed for chips and cant fathom why anyone would spend $199 on them to get half the rewards I got for free!

 

Correct, you can't buy two of the exact same reward and book it back to back. So as far as I can tell the cheapest 2 night reward is as I stated. And as was my original point, under no circumstances can you get 3 nights, 2 buffets and a show for 40K points. If you aren't convinced of that fact then so be it, I tried.

 

Some benefits for purchasing chips--No Limits

I spent over $500 last year with MyVegas and have been told by the company that the "3 redemption limit" does not apply to me and others, whom have spent cash with them!

 

I think the majority of people do not buy chips... I think this game won't be around for very long unless they make changes that will even further limit the free rewards...

Several years ago, there was an MGM game that was similar and it wasn't around for that long too... can't give away so many freebies if it wants to be sustainable...

 

This may be a stupid question...or it may have been answered elsewhere...but with these new rules.....
My husband and I both play MyVegas...Can we get 3 awards a piece?
...giving us 6 to use on our trip.

 

You both can redeem 3 rewards in a 30 day period
(as long as you both have seperate mLife accounts)

 

Thank you, Shock.

 

No, this is not true, I had two discounted nights in Luxor & Mirage, for a total of four nights back to back this December. Plus MyVegas as emailed me twice that cash players do not have the 3 limit!!!

 

2 nights at mirage and luxor are 2 different rewards. the same would be doing 2 nights at mirage or luxor and booking it twice for 4 nights at the same hotel.

 

I'm almost tempted to pay $5 for the smallest amount of chips so I can use more than 3 rewards in the 30 day time frame

 

Me too. I'm just curious if there is a minimum amount you have to spend though. I'm willing to pay up to $40 since I get more value from my rewards than that.

 

I emailed them some ideas, including posting what Cash player benefits are and at what level.

 

I'm still confused

I have a trip at the end of March.

I redeemed points for a show on January 1st for my March trip. So my understanding is that this show is grandfathered and won't count as far as the restrictions are concerned.

Since then and after the change, I have booked another show, a buffet and the aquarium. So at least in theory, I am done for my March trip, correct?

The 2nd show has already been "redeemed", although after the change was announced. The assumption is that if I showed up at the M Life counter in March with 3 codes for other stuff, one of the codes would be denied as they would see the 2nd show and say that I can only redeem two other codes, right?

Finally, if I want to replace the aquarium with something more pricey, can I just get anther code for what I want and just not use the aquarium code? Thanks in advance.
