Cash in the Mailbox

Harrahs Las Vegas properties offer out-of-State players a reward called “Cash in the Mailbox.” Based on your total coin-in (and possibly other factors), you’ll receive a check in the mail a few months after playing in Las Vegas. The amount you receive does seem to be based on coin-in, although it might be based on total Rewards Credits earned. I’d love someone to clarify if they know the actual “return on investment” for the Cash in the Mailbox.

The nicely-printed check-like mailing comes on thick card stock and it looks like a check, although with a barcode. When you take it to any cashier cage, they scan the barcode, and if it hasn’t been used, they will issue you cash on the spot. My records don’t prove if cashing a “Cash in the Mailbox” offer triggers a trip or not, again I’d like to clarification from anyone who has cashed a certificate on a day they didn’t wager. I always cash them on days I wager.

Every time I visit Las Vegas, I will check to see if I have no cashed any Cash in the Mailbox certificates. If you lost one, or one never arrived in the mail, the Total Rewards booth can look up any certificates and write you one manually. You can then take this hand-written receipt to the cashier’s cage and redeem it as if it was the certificate. You can NOT cash certificates more than once, as their computer system notifies them if a certificate was used in the past.

If you play in Las Vegas and never received one of these rewards, it is worthwhile to check the next time you visit.

I don’t know if they expire, so that information would also be helpful for readers.
