    Way back when hosts could write out comp slips without taking away from RCs, I had $250 that I had to use. Went to Starbucks and cut in front of the long line (via Seven Stars), making sure people were extra angry, then told the barista to use it for the next 10 people, or whenever it ran out. I tried to be anonymous, but I hung out to watch people's expressions.

    Having been 7* over the last for years and giving it up in 2020, IMHO, 7* is only "worth it" if the following are valuable to you:

    1)$1200 airfare credit and $500 folio credit (twice in 2020 as @maxev stated), once if you can't take the trip in January.
    2)Signature event at Atlantic City or Las Vegas
    3)Use of the 7* valet at Caesars Palace

    There are ways to "maximize" each of these, but if you aren't a "thrifty Asian" and/or don't want to waste your time over strategizing, I'd skip it. I'm also single, and have no female "gambling buddies" to share it with.

    I was trying to lookup when the 5x TC would post and came across this little nugget that I missed.


    Multiplier Offer has a cap of 25,000 Tier Credits for two days earning.

    So, I did not earn as many TC as I thought.

    We will see, when the multiplier hits my account whenever that will happen.

    I earned 19,950 over Friday (10k)and Saturday (9k). I got the two 10k daily bonus. So, I hope it is all multiplied up to 25k earned. However, I think they are just going to limit me to 25k bonus from the multiplier. That would be 54k swing I would miss out on.

    But once you are over 150k for the year it’s irrelevant. Tier credits won’t matter. You can’t go any higher than 7 star.

    Don't try, they will find a reason to deny you 7*: not losing enough money to the casino, being "overcomped", 5X tier point promotions, daily bonuses, tier credits from hospitality, not playing "consistently" etc. I am now at 167K and still Diamond. People should stay at 25K TCs and then move their play elsewhere, CET is getting too stingy with the takeover.

    Your thread is actually a very good reference item for cases in which Seven Stars status is not issued even for players with >150k TCs, and it would be a good thing for the OP to read.

    However, it was pretty conclusively determined in that thread that the reason you were denied is because you were overcomped as a result of staying about 100 nights at CET properties with discounted rates, waived resort fees, and diamond lounge admissions... all while putting in very little play on an average gaming day, thus making it unprofitable for CET to give you Seven Stars status.

    In your thread, you describe not getting any comps for rooms or food (presumably because of your level of ADT)... whereas the OP here seems to get a healthy allowance of comps (correspondingly, probably because of a much higher level of ADT).

    I understand why you're expressing concern about playing to earn Seven Stars status given what happened to you. But based on the information provided by the OP in this thread, they are much less likely to be denied the status for the reasons you seem to have been denied it.

    But once you reach seven star your benefits are what they are. Your comps are based on your play not your tier credits. Correct?

    Not exclusively. There are some guaranteed benefits for hitting 250,000 tiers credits and more after each 250k after that.

    It was not conclusively determined what you said. I had a 6 figure coin-in and invested 5 figures in hospitality charges. I am certainly profitable for CET. They're just getting stingy and using the "invite-only" clause to try and press people to play even more than the huge amount they already did. The Caesars Rewards supervisor actually said that I had done "5X promotions" and "played mostly in Atlantic City"

    I found this on another forum, where they demand increasing play.

    I can pretty much guarantee that there is absolutely no chance that the OP will not get 7 stars if he makes the last 10K TC's. He made 140K TC in 4 freaking nights. CET would love to have him as seven star.

    Yes, you did have a low six figure coin in for VP, with over 100 nights of stay. By comparison, the OP made 140K TC's in 4 nights, that means, excluding daily bonuses, he earned 100K TC before bonuses and multipliers. That equates to a theo of 50K, so a VP coin somewhere around 1 Million to 2.5 million coin in with 4 nights of stay.

    This is exactly the kind of player CET wants as 7*. The real issue for the OP is that since CET would like him so much, they will pretty much give any room or food or airfare comps he wants, that far exceed the benefits outline by 7* anyway. So the OP may not have a lot of use for 7*.

    My take is that you are only 10,000 TC away...if you get a trip in the next 40 days ...do it. Based on what you stated in play, your ADT should be pretty good.

    No biggie @Southpaw33 I have been a Seven Stars for about 7 years but never earned to the 250k level. The Board just does not discuss this rare level,

    BTW, here are some of the additional level benefits. I don’t believe it comes with the girl.

    Don't forget the Signature Experiences credits that you earn with every 250,000 TCs. Some pretty cool and exclusive experiences here... https://www.caesars.com/myrewards/sevenstars/signature-experiences
