Total Rewards is launching the Salute card on 11/11 for Vets and Active Military. It's a special design and an automatic upgrade to Platinum in addition to the military hotel discount.

Just received that email as well. Nice to do for our Vets and a good marketing move for CET as well.

 

Just received the email also. Following MGM’s lead. A nice perk...

 

I think it is a nice touch.

BUT - standby. One of their facebook pages has all sorts of comments about this. In particular - what about fireman, and policemen and EMTs and if EMTs get added, then how about nurses and doctors. What about school teachers

It just gets crazy.

I think what CET is doing is great. But sadly, the general public is looking to ruin it.

 

What about veteran retail workers suffering PTSD from Black Friday trauma? I've seen CET do things to honor some of those other groups here and there. But it annoys me that when we are technically at war still, domestic first responders would demand to be equated to military. And this is coming from one of the most unpatriotic people you will ever hear from.

 

Got this in an email today. For those with current and prior Military service

Caesars Entertainment is grateful for the service and sacrifice of our United States armed forces, both active duty military and veterans. To show our appreciation, Total Rewards® has created a special card and benefits just for active duty military members and veterans.

Members can visit the Total Rewards Benefits Overview for more information on Platinum benefits. To receive a Salute card, guests must sign up in person at one of nearly 40 U.S. Total Rewards Resorts and provide a U.S. military ID or veteran’s card. Active Military IDs, National Guard IDs, Reserves IDs, Retired Military IDs, DD214 and Veteran Cards will be accepted for verification.

 

Cool looking card!

 

I'm in favor of anything that shows support for our veterans. They are the reason we all get to have the freedoms we enjoy. I've been meeting and thanking veterans all day here at Harrah's in AC. Thank you to all you veterans out there on VMB too. Your service is valued and appreciated.

 

Does anyone know if they have Diamond and 7-Stars version of this card?

 

not sure but i will find out in 3 days.

 

I like that how my wife can get one too. I have the CET Visa so I am already Plat, but the wife didn't so now she can be Plat too. We have a local that has a military card that gets extra discounts, but no local CET or MGM. It will be nice to get the MGM one too so we have more parking options.

 

Does anyone know how this card affects getting to Diamond? Do I have to earn just the TCs to move from Platinum to Diamond or do I have to earn the TCs needed for Platinum too?

 

I can't say for sure, but if it's like the upgrade to Plat with the Visa, you will still need to earn the all the points as they just give you the status, but not the points.

 

Yes. If you currently have 0 tier score/credits and get the Salute Card or sign up to the Visa card to get to Platinum, your tier score stays the same at 0 and you would need to reach 15K tier credits to reach Diamond.

 

Just got back from Vegas and asked if they offer this card for Diamond members as well. Was told that they only have the card which displays plat on it but I could still use it if i wanted to as a diamond member.

 

Not sure what you are saying here? If you are Diamond why would you be interested in this card?

 

To display Veteran status.

 

Plus it's one if the best specialty designs they've ever released.

 

Not sure this is the right spot to post this but TR now has a benefits card for current and veteran military members in case anyone is interested.
