Earn 5X Tier Credits When Booking Directly With Caesars

Earn 5X Tier Credits When Booking Directly With Caesars

Caesars Rewards, the old Total Rewards, just announced an interesting change to their rewards program.  Starting today you will now earn 5x Tier Credits when booking directly with Caesars. This is on room rates and those pesky resort fees but only when you book direct.  This is big news since it makes earning Diamond status much easier.

Why This Is An Interesting Offer

If you were unable to do the Wyndham to Caesars match or get Diamond status matching one of these then you are in luck.  You need to earn 15,000 tier credits to earn Diamond status.  You used to earn 1 tier credit per dollar spent on lodging but you are now earning 5X.  That means you could earn Diamond status after spending $3,000 on hotel stays, assuming that you do not earn tier credits any other way.  That really isn’t a ton when you think of how often people visit Vegas, Atlantic City, New Orleans etc.

Caesars Rewards has a new perk of earning 1 free night in Las Vegas or Atlantic City for every 5,000 tier credits you earn. That means you would get 3 free stays from your $3,000 in spend as well.

Questions I Have

The tweet sent out by Caesars specifies room rate and resort fees.  But I wonder if charging dining and drinks back to the room and paying at check out may work as well.  That would be huge if it did but I am not sure if that is the case.  Hopefully someone will be able to test it out and let us know.

Why Diamond Status Is Great

I keep talking about Diamond status because it is pretty valuable. It comes with the following goodies:

And Caesars just made it a whole lot easier to earn.  You can get Platinum status after only spending $1,000 on hotel rates.  That comes with some nice perks plus you would earn that 1 free night in Vegas or AC!

Conclusion

Even though I almost never pay for a hotel in Vegas or Atlantic City, at least not directly ;), I am pretty pumped about this change.  There are Caesars casinos all over the place, I even stayed at the on in Kansas City last year.  This made getting, and keeping, status with them that much easier.

Now if the charging drinks and food back to the room trick works as well – WATCH OUT!

  1. Can you pay the full price when you book the room online or via phone, or just a deposit?
    Do you still get the tier credit points if you don’t show up after paying the full price?

  3. It doesn’t say explicitly but I think it comes with Diamond no TC’s required.
    Atlantis sounded good but after reading the reviews I am not so sure free is cheap enough.
    That said I want to thank you for bringing this to my attention. We (spouse and I) both got Diamond matches and since we spend the summer at the WSOP, usually at IHG we are in the process of switching over to Caesars properties. We want to spend $3000 each but we want the biggest bang for the buck. That means low cost per rooms and a longer summer in LAS. Caesars has a lot of rules like only you can only book 11 days in a row for specials and 48 – 72 hours between booking dates. It’s a lot of planning but we will be in Dubai in January and I want those 4 free rooms at a great hotel like the Bluewater lol

  4. Regarding Dubai.

    13Benefit only valid for earned Tier Status (Diamond members earning at least 15,000 Tier Credits previous or current year and Seven Stars members earning at least 150,000 Tier Credits previous or current year); members with gifted or matched Tier Status do not qualify until the earn the necessary Tier Credit criteria. Diamond members qualify to book at Caesars Resort Dubai and Seven Stars members qualify to book at Caesars Palace Dubai. Members can book ONE Dubai benefit stay per benefit year (February 1 – January 31, annually). Airfare and other expenses not included. Additional restrictions apply.

    • Thanks for the info Bill, interesting. I wonder if they have changed the Atlantis perk at all to match. Any idea?
