B Connected changing 8/27...

Why not just respond at the # given and use the code (heck use mine). Shouldn't be a problem.
What I like is need not be present to win. IN the football contest you must be present to pick up your winnings as I understand it. Just isn't automatically loaded as a win on your card/account. Maybe that changed too.

 

Got a response from Main Street pertaining to my question about participating in the BConnected Party on Aug. 23rd. They did sign me up for the event without me booking rooms under the"special party" offer. This was great since I was already booked with them during these dates under my regular monthly offer and did not want to loose the free play, food credits if I had to re-book rooms under the "special party" offer. They also e-mailed me a copy of a letter that all participants will receive at check-in giving a few more details about the social event at the Fremont.

 

A week out. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything if they've been to town and spoke to players club or anything.

Just to recap.
Aliante joining Bconnected.
All properties connected via Aristocrat software. Should bring Progressives on machines such as Buffalo linked across multiple properties.

Two new tier levels Onyx and ??? Assuming this means a restructuring of points required with the gap between sapphire and emerald.
Workers began training last week for changes.

Figured with casino employees starting to get more information it would start to slip out but havent heard much.

 

The earliest date is Thursday Aug 23. They won’t tell anyone before then.

 

The new card level is Titanium. Look at the bconnected cruise giveaway. No idea on calculations but have to figure the first three won't change much given the multipliers offered on the giveaway.

 

Titanium: 5X Entries | Onyx: 4X Entries | Emerald: 3X Entries | Sapphire: 2X Entries
SWIPE TO ACTIVATE MULTIPLIER EACH DAY!

I see now. I had heard it was going to be titanium but fell in with the crowd that said it didnt follow the gemstone theme

that's from the sam's town tunica site. the Evangeline Downs site was the first I went to for the cruise and they had a different post that didnt mention the tier levels.

 

I also see that you can no longer see your past tier history on the bconnected site. Just the total. Hope that's not a sign of the 6 month expiration that was rumored.

 

I

Would be willing to bet that's just a restart on the tier systems. If so 6 months will be rough to hit emerald and above.

 

that would be brutal for the non-Vegas residents.

 

Saw this at Fremont the other day. Wonder what tiers will be number wise?

 

Haha yup, new card level.
That’s batshit insane..as like only a handful of people even have Onyx in Vegas! Lol
And it’s utterly reddic too..because even emerald is 50% of CET SEVEN STARS!
So likely Titanium will be the same amount as Seven Stars..except you don’t get as much cool stuff

 

5 tiers... ridiculous if they don't drop the amount required for Emerald

 

My Boyd account shows this text under the BConnected card:

Your Slot & Table Points are now included in the B Connected Point calculation. You may utilize these points for complimentaries, as before, and now for download on your favorite slot machine.

 

Mine always have been in Vegas. Outside not sure how they worked it.

 

eaglejohn, I wasn't sure if this was something that had to do with the new change coming. It appeared yesterday and I thought, "okay". LOL!!

 

Got this in the mail today. From blue chip

Used to be something like 18k bonus points to earn this....

 

Here’s an offer I got from Blue Chip. Max $250. I’ve never gotten this offer before (though I did recently get a handpay and an abnormally high amount of coin in that day), but to me it still seems quite easy to get 120 tier credits on the current system. Based on this and the last post looks like point values might be changing..

 

Yeah that was my thought as well.

 

Ok. Here is My final interpretation of the changes.
They have gone so heavy on “fabulous changes” or “exciting new perks for our patrons” and all that. They MUST expand the players level. A new one for highest, the next somewhere near emerald, like 225K, the emerald falls to 125,-150K and sapphire maybe 45-50K. Just speculating.
Boyd is a local joint. It can be dicey I would think with stations and others hanging around. Maybe 6 months is the length of time of activity for those points earned outside of Nevada. 12 months inside. I can’t comprehend local value in points.
So you come from Timbuctoo (new casino) and travel to las vegas with a bajillion points earned locally. ONLY points earned inthe last 6 months apply to Las Vegas tier. What you earn in vegas lasts a year on your card.
This is not definitive but I would be greatly surprised if disingenuous to the player after coming off with excitement as to the new reveal boyd reduced out value for out of staters. They may but there are other fish in the pond of downtown and off strip. I love the Boars Head at mss. The crew is great and I am well lubed as need be. However, if this is a change for the worse with the build up prior I will be shopping beyond in January.
Hope I’m at the BHB for the nfl playoffs one weekend.

 

I really don't think it'll be a dramatic change. I do think the first 3 tiers will be the same but drop a digit off everything based on these FP offers above. So Emerald will probably still be $250k coin in but 25k tier points. So 10:1 ratio. All I hope is the play everywhere is integrated in your daily play instead of individual casinos. There might be a few left by the wayside because of the new system and a few quirks, but I doubt things will change that dramatically. I anticipate it being similar to CET's TR in regards to tier levels.

The only thing it would really hurt are the local casinos where you can earn more than 1:1 on points per dollar of coin in.
