Vernon Rewards
More Choices, More Rewards, More Fun
CLUB LEVELS & REWARD POINTS
Vernon Rewards has four (4) club levels that players can qualify for based upon the number of Tier Points that are earned during the 12-month Qualification Period which is October 1st through September 30th each year. Tier Points are calculated in the same manner as Rewards Points, but are maintained separately from Rewards Points on a cumulative basis throughout the Qualification Period. At the end of each Qualification Period, Tier Points are reset to zero for the next Qualification Period. Rewards Points are yours to spend and they will not reset or expire unless there is 12 months of inactivity on the account.

Tier points do not include any points earned through a multiplier promotion or any manually added points. Rewards points may be redeemed toward purchases of food or hotel stays. Rewards Points may also be redeemed for free play when advertised or as part of a special coupon offer.
Heroes Benefits
To recognize the heroes in our lives all US Military (Active Duty and Veterans) and First Responders (Law Enforcement, Fire and Paramedics) will have additional benefits through a sticker add-on to their existing Vernon Rewards card level. These benefits will enhance or add to the club member’s existing card level benefits depending on the benefit offered. In order to receive the sticker add-on and additional benefits, Vernon Rewards members must provide proof of service (discharge paperwork, Military ID or VA card for example) for Military or paystub/current employee ID badge for First Responders. For full rules and details regarding the Heroes Benefits, please see the Rewards Club.
