    This is a good summary.
    VMB should pin it to the top of the 'Comps' forum because the boarding pass promos get asked about often.

    "Good once a year": is that calendar year (tomorrow starts a new year) or a 12 month period (a year from last use)?

    Agreed. A few years ago the EC slot club folks were still being sticklers about having a paper boarding pass, but even they have finally come to realize that almost no one under the age of 60 uses paper boarding passes anymore.

    Also, are we confident the D will allow you to use all of those promotions other than the boarding pass promotion once per year? I thought those were "once and done". I realize some on this board have reported being able to use them multiple times, but others report being turned away once it shows as being used in the system.

    If I show the boarding pass and say "Richard Wilks, hi to Matthew, Not Leaving Las Vegas Youtube channel will they give me $125 in match play all at once? (Or $100 if NLLV and Matthew are considered the same).

    In July I personally watched @ffejry do this and indeed he was given 5x $25 match play chips.

    Only thing I'd like to add for the boarding pass promo at The D/Golden Gate: They are VERY strict about it being within 24 hours of landing.

    According to one supervisor back in October, if it's your first time redeeming it they'll give you "a little bit" of leeway. But if you've done it before (as I had many times)... they stick to the exact 24-hour window.

    Which is totally fair of course, but it's good to know considering that many rules like this tend to have mild flexibility.

    Is there a Frontier promo? My recollection (and per @SH0CK above) is that The D does SWA and Spirit, and GG does Allegiant.

    I did this earlier this month, but only got $100 MP. Although, I thought the Club One rep said that Richard Wilk and NLLV were the same promo, but I could easily be mistaken. Regardless, I got chips for two of the three, plus two more for the SW boarding pass.

    Someone can please prove me wrong but I believe I was told you could only do three matchplays per day not including the boarding pass. I did D boarding pass, LVA and two of the other three. They seemed to imply I could’ve gone back the next day and done the lar one I didn’t redeem, forgot to check.

    Nothing was reported by members in the 2022 thread about Frontier. Someone could always try it and see if they accept it then report back here though :thumbsup:

    Are Richard Wilks, Say hi to Matthew, and NLLV only good at The D, or will the ClubOne booth at Gate give them to me?

    Yes; after showing the boarding pass at the desk, you have to swipe your card at a kiosk to get the coupons for free drink, match play, and load the free play on the card.

    Employee turnover at the players club is constant, especially at the D.
    sometimes you just get lucky.

    For the boarding pass offer at El Cortez can it be any airline?
    I am flying in on Air Canada in February.
    Also do you need to be staying there as well or can I just walk down to El Cortez and get the promo?
