Alright, Emmet. Everything is awesome.

I mean it’s pretty standard handling and not exclusive to CET. It’s not “awesome” but it’s also not really worth shaking the fist at. It’s not hard to swipe the card.

But don’t call me out by name if ya’all don’t the real deal opinion. Chant Bloody Mary and she may appear.

I’m not asking your opinion on what is standard and what is not standard. You have chimed in a number of times here on subjects you have no clue about, per your own admission. Your presence here seems only to make bizarre brags about how great things are for you. I’m sure everyone is thrilled for you.

Anyhow, if you have a thought about why they make you stop gaming in order to go swipe a card for no apparent reason, other than the opportunity to annoy at least two segments of their customer base, then I’d be happy to hear it.

Some sort of tracking for some things. Normally give a few free entries for swiping in as well. Think they want to know if you are there even if you don't gamble.

Lmao you brought my name into it:“waiting for Scotch to tell me how much he likes waiting in line for a kiosk”. Don’t want me to chime in? Leave my name out of yo dirty mouth

I’ve never seen a bigger bunch of complaining crybabies though. Just swipe your card FFS.

They aren’t doing it to annoy Akashenk, no more than a supermarket wanting you to swipe their card to get the deals.

9. Participants will receive one hundred (100) Tier Credits towards their 2024 Caesars Rewards Tier Score® for every five hundred (500) Tier Credits earned during the Offer Period.

10. Maximum bonus per Participant Caesars Rewards account is twenty thousand (20,000) Tier Credits.

11. The Tier Credits awarded pursuant to this Offer will be added to Participant’s Caesars Rewards account no later than Wednesday, January 31, 2024.

I suspect they were added last year. If that's true, unless you were shooting for a higher level card, those points were just wasted. In my case I was shooting for Diamond Plus. OTOH if they weren't credited until this year, I would've been pissed because it wouldn't have gotten me a higher status, just a few thousand TC. Still not horrible, but not what I expected.

If you haven't received what you expected, you might want to call, even though it's not 1/31.

They weren't added last year

I don't have much to add to this thread but I keep up for the info. Scotch, why are you like this

Everyone else keep up the good info

You already swipe your card when you sit down at the table or the slot machine. They are making you swipe your card a separate time in a different place. It would be the equivalent of the supermarket making you leave the checkout line to go swipe your card at the back of the store in order to get the discount. It’s just stupid. And no amount of self-absorbed, sycophantic casino ball washing will change that.

Again, if you have something intelligent or useful to say to provide a reasonable explanation for this policy, I’m all ears. But the whole “It’s standard” nonsense you are spewing is just lazy.

Lol, I wouldn’t put anything past Caesars Rewards at this point, but this would certainly defeat the whole purpose of “Earning for 2024”.

Just swipe your card at the kiosk, it ain’t hard. It’s a never ending river of crocodile tears.

As was pointed out earlier it let's them know if you visited the property and did not gamble assuming a modicum of proper accounting.

I should have clarified, I meant the 5x bonus.

I don't get the trouble with swiping in either, other than when someone accidentally forgets. Pretty sure I've never once had to wait in a line to log in.

Sorry. Didn’t see your post. See below ��

I suppose this is a reasonably believable explanation. Still doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. I get that they have all sorts of promotions unrelated to gambling where swiping at the kiosk does make sense. By tier multiplier promotions aren’t among of them. You can’t earn tier points without acknowledging your presence already.

I also think, if data mining were the only reason for the policy, you could go to them after the fact if you did not swipe and request the tier multiplier be applied. I’ve never “forgotten” to swipe, but there have been some people in this thread and others I know who did and unsuccessfully attempted to plead their case.

But ok, pure bureaucratic nonsense is the leader in the clubhouse as far as explanations go. Still seems like terrible business practice to openly annoy your customers.

This is an odd thing to say for someone who partakes in an online message board. Again, I fully understand that Everything is awesome (TM) where you live in Cloud Cuckoo land (TM). So why do you spend any of your time slumming here?

Ahhh. My mistake. But I’m not surprised there was confusion related to that. It can take upwards of 2 weeks for tier multiplier points to appear (this is what they openly advertise at some CR desks). And of course, when you’re at the end of the year, this sort of delay can cause all sorts of handwringing.

This delay never made sense either except I have come to learn that in many cases, if not all, it’s actually a manual process for awarding the points. A human being has to actually verify that the person opted in and the activity warrants the multiplier. Yet another reason the process is made more cumbersome by the requirement to opt in.

The trouble is, you are annoying your customers. This is a significant promotion and a significant benefit. And they are withholding it from people who failed to perform a fairly arbitrary mundane task which doesn’t seem to serve any good purpose. You can’t earn tier points without your card. But they make you announce you have your card twice in two different places for this promotion.

As for waiting in line, it depends. The kiosk situation is touch and go in at least two of the casinos I regularly visit. Of the half a dozen or so machines they have spread throughout the casino floor, half of them are typically out of service. So yes, lines do form. Ok, you can move on and come back some other time. But unless you’re someone who swipes every day for some other reason, the requirement to do so just to opt in to this promotion can be a hassle.

Akashenk why don’t you roll into town and buy me a steak or wagyu sliders with your Caesars rewards comps and give me a chance to persuade you on the greatness of the program and all that it has to offer

You strike me as the sort of person who makes his way through life by the grace and charity of others. I’m not interested in enabling you any further.

And I have no interest in debating the greatness of the Caesars loyalty program. There are numerous and well documented things they have done in recent years which are bad for customers. And there are also sketchy things they are under suspicion of doing recently. These issues are worth discussing here.

If you think otherwise, or just want to praise them, then that’s fine. But you shouldn’t be surprised when people either contradict you or ignore your commentary when there is little substance to it. You’re. It going to convince me or anyone else who sees the same things I see that everything is awesome just because that’s how you feel.

Simple prime rib with a jacket potato, all the fixings. I don’t need fancy

Don’t get cheap on me, I never assume I know someone from their online persona, but you strike me as type of guy who when he opens his wallet, moths fly out.

Says the guy yammering on and on about free stuff he gets from Caesar’s.

Free drinks on me, courtesy of best rewards program there is.

At work we have some processes that are not automated even though they should be. So I have to write a program to go in and add the points, check the swipe, etc. But it only takes me a few hours. It's crazy that they pay someone to go do all of that by hand.

If you look under the hood, it’s crazy how antiquated the computer systems and processes are in some industries. But it’s doubly so in gaming, since that industry is so profitable and has a largely captive audience. It seems like we only see process improvement and innovation when casinos outsource IT, like they do in online sports betting.

Which leads directly to events like the MGM/CET hacks.

They aren't outsourcing for innovation; they are reducing costs.
