oops... meant which sub-forum here in 2+2 for tax questions?

Never played in Vegas, but I do have tier cards from Connecticut casinos.

What are the other cheap ways to obtain Diamond?

No caeears properties in CT so no matching that way.
There's a wyndam credit card thats like 100 a year that you can then tier match to Caesars.

You itemize Gambling losses in the “Other Itemized Deductions” section. You can attach a separate document to list individual items.

If you have a high enough status at Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun, maybe you can do MGM Rewards match at MGM Springfield and then use that to match for Caesars Rewards.

Dear sweet baby jesus, PLEASE stop it with the tax talk.

I can probably just cruise into a Diamond but want to retain my Plus. But I’m leary of doing a bunch of gambling during 10x next month and not getting credit for it.

It’s beyond frustrating. Not to make light of a tragedy but they never figured out a motive for LV shooter, did they check his wallet for a Caesars Rewards card?

Wife has always got all the multiplier credits. Just make sure you swipe and select the promo when you first get to casino.

What does she do for it?

I’d want to do slots and video poker, stuff that usually rolls in once you finish your session.

A dinner sometimes takes a day or two. If that doesn’t roll in until after the promo period is over you could get screwed. And who knows if the knucklehead waiter is actually adding points

It stresses me out lol

It was 7 Stars. True story.

Wait, you have to go up and say, "I would like to take advantage of the 10x promo, please"? You don't just show up and play slots and get 10x?

You swipe in the promo machines

Caesars Rewards is beyond frustrating.

At the most basic level you should have a report that tells you where all of your tier points come from. This is just basic customer service and wouldn't require that much in the way of IT programming. Stupidly simple.

I did some gambling during their June 5x promotion. I got the base level tier points for playing right away. Usually the bonuses are applied early the next month. I completely forgot to pay attention to my tier balance for a while. I looked the other day. It went up a little since the 5x promotion, but since then I have also played a couple of sports bets and played a little bit on WSOP.com,, both of which earned tier points.

The amount my balance went up can be accounted for by one of those activities. Maybe two (maybe). But not enough for all 3. I am missing some points from somewhere.

Unfortunately for me, it is impossible to tell where. There is no reports telling me where I earned tier points. Calling Caesars Rewards is useless. They can't tell what points have been applied to my balance either.


It is all just a big mystery.

You would think a loyalty rewards program would want to make it easy for you to use.

There’s a part of me that believes it’s just pure incompetence. And then another part of me that believes it’s by design. I don’t think they want it to be easy. When the system for earning points is highly muddled and obscure, they can change it at any point and only those who pay very close attention will notice. This has happened with gaming in general, with casinos gradually working in new rules and payout schedules which are more advantageous to the house. It’s the same with loyalty “point” systems. What are the details? What’s the formula? They will never tell because then it will become obvious when they get more stingy.

This Quest for Rewards chit, had a meal at Bugsy and Meyers the other day which was over $100 before taxes and tip.

Got my Flamingo badge but not my F&B badge. What’s up Caesars Rewards, do I need to do a special dance to get that?

Promo clearly states you need to swipe at kiosk and activate the x promo. Can’t say has always been that way but it has been that way for years.

I think it's deliberate. They don't want you to know exactly where you earned your points, especially on table games.

Machines. So most exclusively slots. Our meals are almost always comped, food credits, reward credits or a combination. Rooms are comped. Wife is a heavy slot degen. She made Diamond on Jan 1 and Seven* (and more) by March1.

Is she extraordinarily lucky or are you broke a lot?

Anyone know if Cosmo is doing a status match with Diamond? I will be out there 9/10-13 and would love to get resort fees waived. I have MGM gold but it doesn't look like they are merging any time soon.

I think the incompetence when it comes to promotions is certainly planned. If you are a high enough player, hosts will be able to get to the bottom of problems. Guys that are trying to max ev gamble, do the least to max out tiers etc are not the customers they want. I’m a seven star that doesn’t deserve to be the last few years, I just try to stay under the radar and when i get effed on points or promos I pretty much just shut up and take it.

What does it benefit you to “stay under the radar”? The unwritten benefits a player gets are completely determined by their play, not their tier status. And as for the written benefits, I think it’s clear they don’t care how you got those points since they keep inventing new ways to get them.

Seven Stars unlike the other tiers isn't guaranteed when you hit the points threshold. If he got a lot of points in the online sportsbook/casino especially while clearing bonuses and/or earned a ton of tier credits through multipliers the less someone manually looks into his account the better. When it comes to 7 stars they absolutely do years and they've really cracked down on it in the last year or so.

34 TC per hr. so < 500.

Ok. Makes sense.
