It may not work as they may not give you TC for gift cards, I never got around to researching it. It might be worth looking into though if you get pretty close.
I'll keep that in mind. I'm renting a house, but I could use it on food and random stuff at the Rio.

Electronic baccarat is not a very good way to grind TC overall, because it's like $45/point but it was a quick way to make up the points I needed. Also, I got back most of my baccarat loss on subsequent slot dollar offers. And be aware that Baltimore gives more TC for poker than most CET properties.
The big advantage of doing it this was over the credit card thing is that you also accumulate substantial ADT, and thus room offers and stuff like that. I was able to book 12 nights at Caesars Palace in June for a -total- of $300.
How did you know that you definitely hit 1,000 TC? The website lags behind by at least a day or two, because I'm having a really hard time correlating my hours to tier credits definitively. The total on the slot machine for the day seems off too, or perhaps it just lags by a few hours for poker play? Or only registers once you're logged out of Bravo? Can the rewards desk tell you how many you've earned in the gaming day?
As for the TC/hour at poker there, it's been discussed in the Horseshoe thread, but some people seem to be getting a lot more than me, and a lot more than their official rates (34/hr at 5/T, 25/hr at 2/5, 17/hr at 1/3). Do you have any idea what's up with that?
