What's the weakest casino giveaway you've seen?

One of the joys of gambling used to be all the "free" stuff you'd get from the casino to keep you coming back. In recent years there has been a huge drop off in the quality of these offers, regardless of bet amounts. I am gambling thousands of dollars at this casino each month and they send me an offer for a sandwich in the mail? Pre-2020 you could just about outfit a whole kitchen in the stuff you'd get from a casino just for gambling a few hundred a month. Now you get $20 freeplay and some food court credit. Of course it is just a ruse to get you back in the door to lose more money, but it was nice to get something.

Obviously it's always been dumb to pay much attention to the "free" stuff, but combined with worsening slot games, ridiculous table changes, and everything else they are doing to fleece customers, it makes you wonder where the breaking point is until people aren't enticed anymore. Clearly they are looking for that line. I don't think I'll drive across town for the sandwich.
