Using someone else's Promo Code?

Okay, I am new the whole Vegas thing so bare (or is it bear?) with me!

Over the weekend another poster very nicely shared a direct link to promotional rates at the Flamingo with me and I went ahead and booked one night there at a rate of $60. There is nothing on the promo page that states that you must be a member, etc so I didn%26#39;t think there would be an issue.

Now I was just doing a search on another topic and came across some information stating that if you use a promo code that isn%26#39;t yours and you are not a players club member you will be charged the full room rate at check in. (this information was not related to the Flamingo)

So, now I am worried that when I check in they will see that I am not a member of their players club (which I will gladly join when I hit the casino) and they will want to charge me the full price for that night-which is currently $237.

Am I worrying over nothing?

Using someone else's Promo Code?

I just got home from a mini vacation to Vegas. I stayed at the Flamingo and I also got the promotion link from a poster on this site. I booked 1 night for $90 and other night for $60. The total amount was charged to my credit card immediately after booking the rate through the internet. I had no problems what so ever at check in. I was not a slot card member when I Checked into the hotel.

I hope my experience helps with your worries/ concerns.

Have fun in Vegas.

Using someone else's Promo Code?

You could call the hotel and ask them without giving them any information to flag your reservation. Just ask a general question.

You will probably get so many opposing views on this that you want to hear it from the hotel.

I used the same code from someone off of here. It has already hit my credit card, and I have already paid for it, so you will be fine.

Once you pay the credit card that is all you will need to do.

Don%26#39;t worry about it, and enjoy yourself.

I think it depends a lot on the fine print of the offer. For example, the Aladdin now sends out a ton of offers with the disclaimer that the offers are only valid for the players club account that the offer was originally sent to. However, I don%26#39;t think thety have a decent system to track that info.

I do get a lot of email offers that aren%26#39;t published on the hotels websites but are not sent as a result of a certain play level. For example, over Thanksgiving I got a steal ($129/night rooms) offer at the Venetian though I had never played a dime there before. The offer was valid for anyone, regardless of having a players club card. But, I last month I booked an Aladdin offer through a postcard I rec%26#39;d in snail mail and they required a players club prior to booking.

Clear as mud?

I would check the fine print of the offer you booked and/or call the hotel directly.

Different offers are for different people. Most offers are for the person it was sent to and not for others. You need to call the hotel and ask if that offer code was for a specific level player. Just joining the club when you arrive is rarely all that is required. CALL THE HOTEL if the offer was not sent to you and you don%26#39;t have the required player%26#39;s history they could charge you full price when you arrive regardless of a charge to the credit card.

Thanks for the responses. I think my answer was just at the top of this page. There is an ad for $60 weeknights at the Flamingo, which says to book by February 4th. I am 99% sure that this is the promo that I used -which means that it is not just a promo code for the Flamingo ';elite';. Only problem is that when you click on the banner ad it brings you to a Harrah%26#39;s page that says we%26#39;re sorry but this code is no longer valid-so I was unable to confirm that it is the same promo I used.

I was tempted today by an Aladdin offer June promo, already have hotels booked, but with the promo Aladdin came out at $639 + tax for 11 nights, normal price going through website $1849.

Very nearly cancelled my bookings but luckily read the small print.

';This offer is non-transferable and is therefore valid only for the Club Aladdin Member listed on this account. Recipient%26#39;s Club Aladdin Players Card and valid picture ID will be required upon check-in';

Looks like I%26#39;m not going to get the best room rate ever in Vegas and will be sticking with Paris and Ballys.
