    mjames......the comp'd show tickets are still included for Diamond? Thought there were no longer listed as a perk.....we don't go till April but always enjoyed seeing a mid-range show for free. :)

    The TR clerk said that Diamond members get two show tickets each month. She didn't mention - and I never thought to ask - if there was an end date.

    Here is a list of February shows.

    I don't believe they were ever listed as a perk. Another one of those region/property specific benefits.

    I am trying to decide when the time will be right for me.
    as far as Vegas goes, I am 95% a downtown player, and I have not played at a CET property anywhere for a long time. but at some point, I do need to get back to the strip.
    CET has bought the local casino that is closest to my home. they may take over sometime later this year. maybe then I will start a relationship with CET again. the local casino does get a decent amount of coin-in from of me.

    I asked CET about this in December. The Tier Benefit shows will continue for Diamond and 7* members through at least January 31, 2019.

    One perk I never see anyone post about is the Bahamas Atlantis trip. I am not sure I will get to Diamond in 2018 so I am considering the FC at the end of the year. Would signing up then get me this one specific perk for free rooms in the Bahamas in 2019? Thank you in advance for the help.

    There are no guarantees that Caesars stays with Founders Club or that TR will offer and Bahamas benefits either each year.

    I was wondering about the Atlantis trip perk as well. I have been Diamond for the past 3 years and in considering taking advantage of this benefit later in 2018. Any advice from somebody who has taken advantage of this perk would be greatly appreciated!

    To be more clear on my end, I am asking if the Founders Card gets you the Atlantis benefit. I have seen some say the Founders Card route does not get you into lounges, guest admission, etc. Does it get you the Atlantis perk if you did the founders card route vs 'earning' diamond. I understand the program can change and the Bahamas is expensive, does Founders get me there right now?

    yes, upgrading to diamond status thru founders card gets you a base(15K) diamond card, and everything which goes with it, including Atlantis and everything else you mentioned, "some say" either lied or just don't know

    Would like feedback from anyone who did they complimentary Diamond renewal with Founders.....I did & just got my credit card statement showing a $495 charge. I did not authorize this & the crazy thing is I had fraud on my TR card in January - they closed my card & reissued a new one. Somehow Founders submitted the charge in Feb using my old card # & it went thru on my new card #. Have emailed Founders to dispute & notified TR CC of issue - said waiting on response from Founders BUT asked CC company HOW they could put the charge on my new card #. Has anyone had this issue of receiving a charge after applying & receiving the comp status thru Jan 2019?

    Isn't the Founders card membership renewed yearly at that rate?

    Founders Card had a Diamond renewal offer???? Seems strange since they seem to frown upon people getting it just for the CET diamond status.

    As far as your question about the charge posted to a cancelled card, I would agree that seems strange that they can put a charge through still. However, the old card number will still be tied to the account of the new card in the case of the new card being issued because of a fraud issue. I had my card compromised a couple years ago and got a new card and number. Shortly after, I accidentally made an online banking payment for my charges to my old credit card number. I called them to get it switched and they said they were still tied together and my payment would still be posted to the right account.

    I don't have the Founder's card but as i read it, if you get CET Diamond because of it, your Diamond status will end when your Founder's Card subscription ends. You may have been issued Diamond status to Jan 2019, but it ends shortly after the time you don't renew the card. Someone else who has the card may be able to explain this better than me.

    There is no "complimentary" renewal without an active aka "in good standing" Founderscard account. It is set to auto renewal, so if you don't cancel your account, your card will be charged. I'm guessing you signed up for a one year deal at this time last year? In any case, this is definitely something to take up with your card, 'cause if you had fraud using that old number, it's insane that someone else would be able to charge to that. Defeats the purpose of issuing a new card and number.
