That gets them how much you are worth to them on a daily basis, and that determines comps and room rates.
I’m sure you’re right under most circumstances, but Dr. Meh said he goes to WSOP once a year and makes no other Caesars properties plays, yet he got his room for $200 for the week, and now $160. That doesn’t seem like it would necessarily be based on the calculation you mentioned. (Not disagreeing with you at all. Just saying maybe this hack can get you excellent comps even without the normal required play.)
For comparison sake, I’m checking into Paris on 6/21 and staying for eight nights, and I’m paying $1700. If getting the WR gets me to Diamond status and I can save something like $1500 on hotel, that’s obviously well worth the $95 annual fee. Then again, just being able to jump the cash lines for the week would be worth the $100. The waits for cash games during WSOP have been in the hours for the past few years if you get there any time after like noon.
I did some digging online and it looks like you can pretty much fake your way into the business card even if you don’t actually own a business. For those interested, this article walks you though how to apply even if you don’t own a business, and it claims you don’t have to lie or break any rules:

I’m going to apply in the next couple of days and I’ll post here how it goes.
