I got a postcard in the mail the other day from the Palm restaurant.
Inviting me to join the Palm 837 Club (that's the sddress of the original Palm in NY.)
* As a member I'll earn points for every dollar spent in any of the resturants.
* Free 3lb lobester on my birthday (now exclusively for the 837 club members)
* Members only offers & invitations to special events (???)
* Suprise bonus awards & more (???)

Cost is $20 to join and is a one time membership fee. Then after I dine there, they will send me a coupon for $20 off my next food purchase.

So I think this offer sounds like a winner on the lobster alone? What do you think?

Lee, you oughta mail me that offer, and I'll throw it away for you.<g>

Joe,
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing <VBG>
Well, I wasted a 20 in many a slot machine, so I figure putting a 20 down on this club won't be nothing! <s>
I did drop John's business cards in the box on my last trip, I was hoping he'd have gotten the same offer. It came to my company address!

Lee, I didn't get the offer, but I think I would join under one condition. Do you have to use the free lobster dinner ON your birthday? If that is the case, then the offer is worthless since I never have been in Las Vegas on my birthday yet. But, if the would let you use it within 30 days of your birthday, then it is worth it I think.

John,
The offer doesn't go into those kinds of details. But I seem to remember someone that was in this club before mention that the coupon for a free 3 lb lobster was good the entire month of your birthday. I'll check on it, before I fork over the 20 spot!
Also, I think it's a can't loose proposition, when you get your $20 back in a certificate on your next meal at the Palm. So basicly, the way I see it, they get you there 2 times, and give you a free lobster every year. I'm gonna give it a whirl and see what happens. I'll report on my findings after my September trip.
***also, no where on the postcard does it say I need to bring the card with me to sign up. I'm wondering if it would be worth the effort to try to join without the postcard. I think I'll play dumb at first and say I forgot my postcard, and see if they still take my twenty!

Lee, if you can sign up without the postcard, let me know and I will also.

John,
I'll post my results when we return from our September trip.

Lee,

I assume you can redeem your birthday lobster at ANY Palm Restaurant. That's an obvious plus for those living in big cities.

David F,
Again, the large postcard i received was very light on hard facts & details. Even if you have to fly out to LV for the lobster, I'm thinking, it's a good excuse for one more extra trip <VBG>
But the points can be earned at any resturant, so I'm assuming the coupon would be good at any also. This was not a mailing just from Las Vegas, although the Las Vegas outlet is the only one we've tried to this date.
