    After reading so many awesome trip reports with big wins and HOURS of gambling I started wondering how much FP is given to these seasoned gamblers. The most I've ever seen was an offer my friend received for a 1000. I thought that was pretty significant...I understand that this might be something not everyone wants to share but thought I would ask. Also, can your host do much better than your usual offers received for FP?

    About 5 years ago, I called Caesars to book my mailed offer of $300 FP and 3 free nights. I read the code to the agent, and when he confirmed everything (dates, room type, and offer), he quoted me $5K in freeplay. I thought he might be kidding, but no laugh, so I thanked him and hung up. I kept imagining getting that amount of Freeplay. I wanted to call to confirm, but didn't want to have somebody review it. I finally decided to call and confirm that I had a non-smoking room and then ask to make sure my offer was attached. I did this a few days later, and they said $5K again.

    Fast forward a few weeks, and I check in to Caesars. They hand me a paper telling me where the Event was (some type of raffle as well). I went to the event registration, and the lady there said, 'wow, that is a lot of free play' (and I thought I was bagged), but then printed me out the certificate to bring to the cage. I hustled to the cage and got the FP coupons. I got 50 x $100 vouchers. I rushed to play through about half and cashed out around $2K from that batch. I went back up to the room, and the red light was on the phone. Again, I thought it would be security or the manager, but it was the standard recording welcoming me from the host on duty. I had lunch and then played through the second half of the vouchers. Cashed out around $2,300 for a total of $4,300.

    Now my comps, definitely went down for a while until I cycled the overcomp, but what a blast it was. Back to the OPs original question, $5K was my highest 'offer'.

    Lucky you haha! When I first got started at MLife, I got an offer from Excalibur for $1500 in FP. When I called to book the offer, the rep said, "wow! That's a lot of freeplay...can you hold a few minutes, I need to confirm this..." She comes back and says her supervisor wants to talk to me. The supervisor then informs me this was a mistake and they can't honor it...

    I was pretty pissed at the original rep for not minding her own business and just book my offer. Anyway..I ended up having that same offer valid at Aria, MB, MGM and they honored it.

    But my biggest freeplay offer was about $4000 at Hard Rock Hollywood before they switched to their current crappy players card program.

    My biggest was $1050 at goldstrike. That was this year.

    I currently get $700 for each trip to mlife in Vegas (usually Mandalay Bay). Based on my play this year that will probably go up by next year; $900-$1,000 next go around I think.

    @Larry76 I swear I had that offer, but when I called (immediately upon receiving the flyer) they said it was sold out!!!

    Fun thread as I'm a FP whore. My largest single offer was for $1000 at Wynn. However, in more lenient times in Lake Tahoe I have had 30 or even 60 days of unused expired free play vouchers honored. With that perk I once had $2700 for a weekend visit. It made for a lot of fun and winning trip!

    $475 from Cosmo in January. That was easily the biggest FP offer I've ever had. I had a $300 one from them once. My current Cosmo offer is only $200 FP, but they were willing to book me into a Terrace Suite for 4 nights, which cost me $600 in upgrade fees last trip.

    The most I ever got from MLife was $250 about 3 years ago. I get $225 FP offers from CET for certain months/dates, but the offer I use most often only has $100.

    I've also had fairly good luck on freeplay - a $12k win at Aria once on a $25 spin, and probably 3 or 4 times I've used the $100 CET freeplay on a $100 machine and won 5 credits.

    $1950 from Tropicana..it was an offer where they matched 1.5x your slot offer at another casino and I had $1300 at NYNY.

    My friend got 2 great offers in a row after her 1st mlife trip..... $1500 at Aria and then $1500 at Bellagio....since her 3rd trip, her offers fell to $500.

    My biggest local freeplay offers are this month at Foxwoods.... $525 once every week Fri thru Sun in July and $500 once every week Mon thru Thurs in July...if I use it all that's $5125 for the month!

    1000 a week for a month from Pechanga. That happens a few times a year. 3000 from GEEZERS. It was easy, all I had to do was have my host at GEEZERS call my host at other property's where they got my avg and time played. After they called I was told 3000. After that it was always available for me each trip. Only took it a couple times though as I only stayed there once. All from table game play. Zero slut play. Another reason counting every dollar bet as your avg on the craps table helps.
    As much as 750 everywhere else but 300 ish is the norm.

    Not myself, an acquaintance. I saw his offer /coupon was weekly freeplay $5000 for the whole month. That's $20000 for one month. I didn't ask him about other months, i believe something similar.

    Some of these amounts are insane! I could do a lot of damage with 5K in FP. I asked my host for more FB for my upcoming trip and....he DOUBLED my current offer! I think that counts as my first win of the trip.

    Don't know how many years ago, 5? 6? Cosmo kept upping the fp every month with the mailer. Ended up $2000. (or digits close to, $1976 if I vaguely recall) I booked. I had told my host at MB at the time,,,I can't help it but I gotta go stay. If you wanna come over I'll let you play half!! But that was the biggest I got just to stay. Sure Kevin could confirm that amount from years ago. (AND IT WAS A WRAPAROUND)...

    When we did DIAD at Harrahs Rincon, we got $750 per week in slot play, for a month...we sucked it out as a $2800 loss rebate and harrahs has hated us ever since. (but we've since hit two $4k royals on them just putting a couple hundred in)

    Wow, Bahamar offer is so much more generous than MLife. Do you have a play history with Baha Mar or did you get the offer through some other way.

    $300 from the Four Queens.

    Or, if you look at it a different way, $100 a day for about six days running at the DTG. Was one of those 'bank error in your favor' scenarios...

    Many years ago Flamingo gave me $3,000 in ("play once and drop") free play but they didn't require the usual "even money bets" restriction. I took $600 from my own kick and on one roll bet $100 on the hop on every combination on the dice table. Turned my free play into $3,000 - $600 = $2,400 + my original $100 on the winning combo.
