So, About That MyVEGAS Thing...

In the early days they were VERY generous with the reward points. They have gotten stingy on the mobile app and I rarely play these days. Once I get enough for the free cruise I am done. 

Both my wife and I have 3M + each in points.  We have not had the chance to find a free cruise that our work schedules could accommodate.

I cannot imagine how much time I would need to play to get 1,000,000 points! If you have a secret let me know

 MyVegas release free chips throughout the day on FB.  There are sites that release the links.  Google "free MyVegas Chips."  

I collect the chips at the end of day and then just bet high at the end of the week and hope for a jackpot bonus.  Gain loyalty points with the bonus winnings.

do you HAVE to sign in with Facebook in order to redeem the OBC?

The MyVegas acct must be registered to a FB acct.  If you can redeem through the mobile app.

No idea how this is supposed to work...downloaded it....played some game called King Kong (on auto-spin) until I eventually ran out of chips and have like 300 credits.  So just come back daily and play again?

You got it!  They have a few other apps in the PlayStore/AppStore.  You can also play on browser through FB.

Question...

I just learned about and started playing the MyVegas game.

Most likely I will use it for the OBC rewards.

For the free cruise, it's an interior cabin, but is it for two people? So one million points for a double occupancy interior?

Thanks,

Yes. You have to pay taxes, port fees and gratuities.

Thanks for the info 😊 So I am now reasonably good at getting the extra points (tons of “friends”) who play a lot and joined some decent MyVEGAS groups. I can become “impressive” pretty quickly but even then I somehow burn through it pretty past MyVEGAS Slots. I also do that on blackjack. However, I can regularly keep chips on the 3-15 million level in Konami and Pop! Slots. I tried building max points slowly, but it likely is best to do it quickly? It’s all hypothetical at this point! 🤔

So far my tactic has been to spin low and frequently (1-2 of them on lower levels will run a while without me around). But that is building loyalty points very slowly! I assume there is some sweet spot in terms of amount bet but I have not found it yet. I know what I am doing isn’t working (or at least wouldn’t be close to worth it for me in the long run with a job, family and 91 year old mother to keep up with).

Thank you! Just wanted to make sure I had it straight.

One more question I meant to ask...

I think I know the answer but, do you earn C&A points on the free cruise?

Doubtful. I have only redeemed for obc. 

[jce2 190]

Pretty cool so far but it seems you can only redeem OBC for new bookings...not sure how you time it to work that way

I've not done the "friends" things yet. I'm Ken Johnston on FB. If you send me a way to add you on FB I'll add and send chips....

I must have 100’s by now, it’s semi insane (I got lucky and made friends with two women there running the big groups so I became a virtual magnet I think). Most people have playe profiles and are looking (it seems) for people posting little other than myVegas content (super easy for me since it’s my sole reason for being there 😂 ). Once you have a lot of people posting points it becomes relatively easy max your points everyday (although w a sick kitty this weekend I hardly turned on any device). The only people I exclude are the ones posting political opinions/memes. I will add you now. 😊

Just a heads up.  I started play myVegas a week ago and now that I have 50,000 pts to redeem the $100 OBC they have removed Royal Caribbean from their rewards program.  I still see MSC and they added Resorts World.

Keep checking back. This happens every so often and then Royal reappears.

+1 on this. There's a limited inventory for each reward, and it takes a while after it's run out before the offer shows up again.

My husband just downloaded the Slots app and was taking a look around - do you HAVE to sign in with Facebook in order to redeem the OBC?

I believe so.  That also allows you to get points from all of their games.

Yes.  And if you go alone (like I do) you get double points.  After my next cruise on Oasis, I will just be a few nights away from Emerald.

As promised, the Royal Caribbean reward options are back up.

I don’t think so, but someone else who has been at this a much longer time could say for sure.

Can I redeem for OBC from MyVegas  and my mother who has her own MyVegas rewards and is guest #2 can she redeem for OBC, if we are in the same room?  Thanks!

I think you will not be able , 

It says that you can use one offer per each room , but you can always try , just submit an email with the extra OBC offer and in the worse case they will tell you no and they even kind enough to guide you how to get back the points in the game.

I got the app, am playing something called Rapid Gold, and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing

I'm bummed, DH has this but it was too restrictive for us to book the cruise through.  He told me we could do OBC, and of course life got in the way and you have to add them within 30 days of booking.  Oh well, that $100 would have been nice.

Just so you know, if you ever do a re-price of your fare, then that resets the clock for the 30 days of booking. That's how I got $100 OBC added to a Thanksgiving cruise I'm taking.

Oh that's very good to know.  I booked through a TA and she did research this for me after I told her about it.  At that point I would have saved a small amount of money but then she said we wouldn't have control over the booking.  That didn't sit well with us so we figured we'd just use OBC.  I don't see the prices going down but its good information to have! Thank you.
