I just booked my free rooms for September. I'll post again closer to then but I'm hoping for some good PLO or OE action. PLO didn't run at all during my last trip but 10/20 OE and 50/100 OE ran. Also, I'm kind of bummed my free Sundays were taken away

This is all theorizing, but here's what I think matters in determining who gets what and how much based on past patterns/experience:
Your average points earned per visit is important. So if you're going to go and only play 5 hours of poker and nothing else, you might be better off not swiping your card at all. Once I stopped clocking in on my poker only day trips, my comps got better.
Your activity from approximately two months ago is weighed the heaviest as to what you will get today if you're a regular. If you're not a frequent visitor but you haven't accepted offers in a while, you'll continue to get some worth approximately the same amounts of the ones that you missed in the past.
My dad hasn't gone in over a year, and he still has the same comps that they were offering him a year ago. But I'm finding that I get better stuff if I earned a lot of points per visit on average about two months prior.
If you're playing something past 3am in the morning but not booking a room, they're more likely to comp you rooms over other junk (I'd much rather have rooms).
I used to not get free rooms, but I would sometimes take a bus in the middle of the night after I was done with my poker session past 3am. Then, a couple months later, free room offers started showing up.
If your home address is far away, that is not in convenient commute distance, they're more likely to comp you rooms.
I had some friends visit me, and we went to Foxwoods for a couple days. They told me they were getting offers for free rooms even though they barely played anything, because their addresses were thousands of miles away. Not fair lol.
Or maybe it's just random

Wish I knew. I can tell you who DOES NOT get rooms. People who play 5-10 hours poker only per week, live 1 hour away, and don't pull slots. If I could ever snag some free rooms I would play longer, but w/out the room.....when I need a rest, have to drive home. Dont think they really care too much about poker only players.....

FW just lost me to the Borgata.
The latter is unfortunately a 4-hour trip (from the east end of Long Island), whereas Foxwoods is a 3-hour trip. I also have to deal with the Belt Parkway and Staten Island, which are a bear. Furthermore, most of the trip to and from FW is spent not driving (ferry and bus connection). Despite that, I don't see the value in putting up with the horrible offers (September $70 TT/$90 PEQ rooms) when I can go to a better poker room and control the arrival/departure times.
If FW offered something worthwhile, there wouldn't be a switch.
