Episode 92 What is a Discretionary Casino Comp?

Discretionary casino comps have become a nebulous concept since there is such a discrepancy in the allocation of them among different casinos. Back in the day, hotels and casinos readily gave away discretionary comps, but this has changed significantly over time. Today, hosts rarely give these away, often suggesting you use your rewards credits instead or charge the items to your room. This is not to say that you should give up trying but perhaps to approach it a little differently, keeping in m
