after midnight, within minutes of their availability. She said the slot club booth part was simple, but they had a brief problem at the cage. However it was straightened out quickly. (Nothing like your situation.)

Interestingly, Pam was not the first. Someone else had negotiated points for cards before her. According to the flyers at The Orleans, this promotion is only for the month of June.

I do not know if it is an experiment for possible regular use, or if it really is just a month-long promotion. I suspect that cards issued will likely get used at stores and then end up around the house, or left at a store's cash register as trash.

When Pam used the card I am auctioning (Wal-Mart, that same day) there was a problem getting the card accepted by the VISA debit system. But it was finally accepted for $49.75. That means there is still $.25 (25 cents) on the card!

BTW-Why is it I've not seen you at The Orleans, when you have enough points to get a card (or more)? Or is your action elsewhere (Suncoast, Barbary Coast, Gold Coast)?
