Just one of a bunch of confusing things on offers from Terrible’s casino that came in the post today. This typo was also the most amusing (to my infantile mind at least).
Then there’s this picture from the same tree-mendous mailer. How many mistakes can you spot? :
I got four: (1) She’s young. (2) She’s attractive. (3) She’s smiling. (4) She has $100 bills.
All pretty much unheard of at the casino in question.
Then I had to try to work out what this was about:
The deliberate mistake? I’m nowhere near a gold card player.
As my mail gets batched up in a mailbox in California for weeks at a time, I can’t figure out what the date under the offer means. Is there just the one day when I can go and claim this reward for my alleged second-to-top-tier loyalty? Or if it’s the date they decided to upgrade me – more than two months after I last left town?
Sure, we play at Terrible’s quite a bit. Sometimes we play together on the same card. But we only just made Gold status on Claire’s card with a concerted effort during 5 weeks of summer; there’s no way it could have happened for me in 10 days.
They seem to have me confused with someone else. My best guess is that they’ve mixed up my account with Claire’s. And they’re running several months behind.
Apart from her card changing colour, there didn’t seem to be any difference in the offers she’s had since August.
The best part though was this offer, which is really quite superb.
3 nights in a suite, $100 gambling money and $100 eating money. I have no idea how I could possibly use all of the latter. It’s an awful lot of $9.99 theme buffets or T-bone steak dinners.
I don’t know yet if we’ll actually stay there, but I’ve already booked it. It would have been rude not to.
There were apparently no suites available. I’m not sure I believe they exist, but I’ve seen pictures so there might be one or two.
No shows for our dates either. We’re too late to see Neil Sedaka and too early for Smokey Robinson. (These are the actual 70-something singers, no less, not tribute acts).
Still a great offer though. I wonder whose it was meant to be.
