    you have to constantly go in and back out of the reward and just catch it when the rewards come live. When we were using prior refresh times as a guide we normally started about 10 minutes 'early'. It's annoying and stressful (somehow) but other than pure dumb luck it's probably the only way on the popular rewards.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

    darn you!! joking was trying for the same one what time did you get it at 8 06 on the dot?

    Unsure if there is a way to better your chance to getting the harder rewards should you refresh the page just before the refresh times( a few pages back)
    any advice most welcomed

    As Ferf says start before the time by going in and out of that reward by clicking on the sold out button.

    when i did that it never went to available just from sold out to putting my details in

    Does anyone have any experience of using VRBO to book Las Vegas hotels or properties?

    There is a listing for MGM Signature for my dates and its $381 for 4 nights and no resort fees.

    It's got 147 reviews with 4.9 stars out of 5

    Hi, I have used VRBO for Vegas 5 times for different villa rentals. I've never had any problems, all properties were as described, no problems with payment :)

    Don't be afraid to ask any questions of the owner, if they are genuine they will respond appropriately. We've gone with large groups so have had numerous questions for owners.

    Thank you. That's reassuring. I'm going to book it this weekend :j
  • Hi

    Not posted on this thread for a while (we went to Disney last year), but we're off to Vegas next week. I just had a few things to ask if thats ok...

    ID.. when we last went we used our passports for ID but we now have photo driving licences rather than the paper ones, can these be used for ID or it still best to use passports?

    Is it still ok to exchange travellers cheques at the casino cages?

    We have tickets for Lionel Richie.... has anyone seen it?

    Thinking about seeing the new Human Nature show Jukebox, anyone seen that?

    Thanks

    hi there

    when we have went the last 2 years i have used my photo driving licence as I.D thoguh to be fair i was only asked once for it and it was fine.Im sure it is acceptable as long as your over 21!:D
    and ifor what its worth i think its safer to carry your driving licence than passport, plus i guess its better to lose your DL rather than your password right?
    the other 2 questions im afraid i have no idea
    sorry!

    I know your questions have been answered and I cant add anything

    just wondered why you use travellers cheques, they went out with the Ark, there are many better alternatives
  • We like traveller's cheques too. They're as convenient as cash but with the added bonus of being fully insured. Sadly (for us) nowhere seems to sell them anymore.
