    @texascane I would say while @skyscanner has a point that is not without merit. It should not really concern you. You earned 140k points in 4 day. He earned 167k in nearly 100 days. You are exactly who CET wants to be 7 stars, he is exactly who they don't. Your point is even further confirmed when you mention that you won't be taking advantage of all the freebies.

    Debit card is the way to go, make sure you always enter a pin!

    Thanks for all the input. I booked my trip for mid December. I'll stay for 2 days, pick up my amazon gift card giveaway and earn a few more points. Deciding factor was that you can gift status to someone. My parents like to play slots but never enough to move up in the programs. They'll like having the card.

    I'm a 7* for about 8 years and have reach 250,000 every time after the bonus tier points were being awarded. Prior to last year additional awards came after every 50,000 tier credits. Last year they cut that to 250,000 for something that's worth about $500. I have chosen an additional $500 folio the last two years. Next award is at 500,000 now as shown above. If your normal gambling brings you to the levels of 500,000 and 1,000,000 tier credit it's fine. It certainly is not worth going for the benefits because gambling the amount of coin-in required to get that level is way beyond what you're getting in return. You would be better off taking money out of packet to pay for those benefits than risk your cash and lose cash earning them levels. Of course, yes, and you can also win.

    Do you mean the 7* companion card or is there some way to gift status that I am not aware of?

    Hi texascane -- don't forget that when you gift your companion status to someone, they have to be at the rewards desk with you.

    And I was limited to 12,500 bonus 5x points a day, for a 25k total. That was in addition to the 10k bonus each day for reaching over 5k earned. My earned was 10k+ and 8k+. I did get 63k over the 2 days, but I was thinking I was getting an extra 47k (until the fine print after the fact). This just leaves me roughly 17k away from 150 again, so I guess I will do two 2500 days at ggwu, plus a little more. Maybe 3 to give me some cushion.

    To maximize the 5x with 12.5k limits, stop at 2500 a day. Then you get 2500 + 5000 +12500 for 20k total.

    On my way to Vegas crossing the AZ boarder in the air. Any idea how much you need to bet on craps to get 9k tier credits? I am at 141,619 and plan on getting to 150k before it gets to later

    it’s not an exact science - play a couple hours as you usually do and then cash out. Then look to see how much you earned.

    you really only need 3000 or so. Probably black chips for a few hours including betting the numbers.

    Thanks, just realized I only need 3500 with the tier bonus. Should be pretty easy.

    you can only get one tier bonus per day so 2500 one day and 1000 the next would get it,3500 in one day wouldn't

    Yes, 3,500 would do it. He said he has 141,619. If he get 3,500 in a day. he will get 5,000 bonus. That's over the 150,000 mark.
