As I posted once before, I think the Mountaineer race track in W.V.is the toughest place to get a gold card.You have to generate 20,000 points in a 3 month period to get one. It takes 1 dollar in play to get one point .Thats 20 thousand dollars in 3 months. For that,you can cash in 2000 points to get 5 dollars off in the restaurant or 5 dollars cashback. The platinum card takes 50,000 points in 3 months play. I have tried to bribe casinos hosts with 10 dollars to get one,and they almost laugh at you.So a platinum card is almost IMPOSSIBLE.Dick
