I got offer last week fromTR Visa card . Automatic to platinum tier and after spending $750 in 90 days Bonus 5000 Points. Is there a catch here ?! Because that will put me in Diamond Tier . If anyone has experience with this offer?
Thx.

If you already have Platinum and have no shot at Diamond, why are you worried about earning tier credits?

Whole year to make Diamond?
you were talking about maxxing TC!?

Anyway, to make Diamond in a Day, goto Planet Hollywood high limit room.
'Double Super Times pay' 9/5 JoB version (99%).
$1, $2 denomination
3/5/10x play

best is $1 to avoid w2-G when hitting big hands with multipliers.
so $21/35/70 a spin.

at $21 a spin, 5000 tc = 2380 hands = 4hrs if 600 hands/hr
at $35 a spin, it's 1428 hands = 2.5hrs

The Rio's 99.17% 'Bonus poker' machine is single line $1 denomination.
it is the best VP for any caesars casino in Vegas.
but 5000 tc is 10k spins = 17hrs

I got 7Star through those the past 2 years, but the variance is sick... I was down about $12K at one point before i lucked into a royal.

Where are they on the floor?

You can also do (2500+5000)*2 which makes this way more digestible

You get 5000 tc bonus for 2500 tc in one day. Basically breaking up the 17 hrs into two separate days for the same TC bonus.

If you're diamond on WSOP.com and connect your card will you automatically be diamond on TR card?

For those that gave FC the boot because of the offer from TR Visa (5k spending), the disclaimer it could take up to 45 days to reflect on your TR tier is way overestimated. Seems as soon as you hit the 5k spending your status will change to diamond within a couple days, at least mine did.

Yes i signed up 2 months ago strictly for the tier credits. They matched my platinum TR status and so far I've gotten a little over 2k tier credits, not bad at all considering i don't play much. I only play like 2-3 tables of .25/50 and .50/1 pretty sparingly as well so if you were to put in some serious play at decent stakes you could probably hit diamond pretty fast.

Assuming just a one time thing and it only gives you Diamond until 2018 not 2019 (even though it was "earned" in 2017). I have no information either way, hoping since I never use the card and crushed it during the past 45 days they will extend the offer again next year.

For the past few years if you spend $5k you are at least made platinum

Since I have had the TR Visa I was always Diamond and this offer was emailed as soon as I lost the status. Perfect timing since Founders did not have their s$$t together and copped the attitude with people complaining about the lapse and uncertainty for renewal.

Isn't Platinum is pretty much worthless? You can park free in Vegas but valet will only take you on the weekends if you are Diamond, maybe an occasional designated cage/checkin line but seems the perks below Diamond TR and Platinum Mlife are pointless.

Yes plat is basically useless in Vegas, but less useless than gold. In Atlantic City, it does give you free parking.

Yeah, platinum is useless to me. I'll just stick to FC until that well runs dry. They actually gave me a significant other membership free as my 2 year bonus gift. So now the GF is Diamond as well.

Maybe start bugging FC in December about CET renewal so you don't have the aggravation again in Feb. Sucked for those in Vegas this year for the Super Bowl that found out the hard way their status lapsed for a couple weeks.

The first time I arrived at a hotel and saw an hour long line at registration, and only 3 people in the Platinum line, Platinum status would be worth plenty to me.
