    TR Snippet 4 Queens coupon




    I guess I had not actually figured the cash value of the ACG coupon that doubles points up to 500. This is redeemed after play at the Four Queens. It boosted my cash back by $12.50. That one coupon almost pays for the entire book.

    That is an amazing benefit in my opinion. Even a $10 matchplay is only valued at a bit less than $5.


    I love the Four Queens, but I did have this very dysfunctional conversation about buying a hat with points:

    The Four Queens is fast becoming
    my favorite place to gamble and the staff at the Four Queens are always on their
    best to help, but this conversation really made me chuckle.

    I’m
    at the Player’s Club.

    "So,
    I might like to buy a hat. I see it is 300 points. What is that in
    cash?"

    "I
    don't know, sir, because we don't handle cash here, just
    points."

    "What
    is the value in cashback of 300 points?"

    I
    really don't know, sir. All I know is what I see on the
    computer.

    Okay,
    you saw that my points were 1100 and my cashback was $27. I figure that means I
    Iwould pay about $7.50 for the hat the way I do the math."

    “I
    really don't know.”

    The
    clerk goes away to post my point doubling coupon.

    There
    are two other clerks, so I just say a bit louder, "Hey, is there anyone here who
    is good at math. I can do this math, but it just does not seem
    official."

    They
    all shake their heads and say no. They are terrible at math they
    say.

    The
    supervisor has not heard my question, but she comes to actually post my point
    doubling on the computer, and I ask her,

    "What
    does a hat cost?"

    "300
    points, sir."

    And
    how much money in cashback would I lose if I use those points for a hat rather
    than for cashback.”

    She
    fiddles with the computer a while.

    “$7.50,
    sir.”

    Well,
    guess I’ll pass on the hat, then. Thanks for posting my coupon doubling.


    So
    the coupon doubling added 500 points to my total and that is worth $12.50
    cashback. I think that makes the Four Queens American Casino Guide coupon one of
    the most valuable in the book. I used the Riviera free comedy coupon for two
    free tickets, so that topped it in value. Pretty amazing coupons really.

    Dewey, thanks for posting. That is a sad but entirely believable story. If they could even do basic algebra, they could probably get jobs that pay more than the ones they have now, which probably pay not much more than minimum wage, and would have an easier time supporting their families.
