I have played quite a bit of Video Poker at Aria this year, but I noticed on mlife.com that no HGS points have accrued. It that because 1). They just don't tabulate the points so early in the year 2). Video poker doesn't earn HGS points now 3). The mlife website is screwed up as usual I suspect #3, but I would feel better if I heard that others who played in Jan show no HGS points. Express comps and tier credits appear to have been properly credited. I have not looked at this in years past so I don't know if this is usual or not.
I never noticed a lag in HGS points appearing on the MLife website before, but I didn't really pay much attention because I never go to the events to redeem them. I show zero also, and I had a MGM Grand stay in January. I can't think of a reason why they'd be calculated on a different schedule; it's supposed to be a 1:1 ratio with base slot points. It should be a decent way to track your coin-in because unlike ECs and Pointplay, there's no tier bonus (I think), and you can't spend down your HGS points during a normal stay.
Thanks, Chuck I assume you played slots and/or VP in Jan, is that correct? I know that HGS points are not earned for table play.
