CET Credit Card 5,000 tier Bonus

[DiamondD]

I'll start by stating I know the card has a horrible interest rate to remove those comments from this thread. My question is - has anyone received the 5,000 annual tier bonus yet for this year? I spent $5K on the credit card within the first 3 days of January and have not received the bonus yet. I have already gone thru a billing cycle.

RE; Interest rates.

I am not going to say anything about "horrible" interest rates on that card. I just hope nobody is paying ANY interest on any credit card.

BUT - you did catch my attention with the 5,000 tier points. We already have 20+ credit cards and we try to only open cards with nice sign up bonuses (SUB). Never considered the MGM or CET cards worth it, but maybe this year as our number of visits have dropped and may not reach Diamond this year off of just play.

In the terms they give themselves 2 billing cycles. I'd interpret that to be 2 cycles AFTER the one in which you earn it.

Probably won't take that long, but it might.

I thnk they build in a cushion so they have less people play the game of doing the spend, getting the bonus, and then returning shit.

I have some bills that hit at the beginning of the year - instead of paying them by debit, I use the CET credit card cause I easily top the $5K - just to get the 5,000 tier bonus each year. But I pay the card off within days, so I never actually pay interest. I would never hold money on the card cause the interest rates are indeed horrible. But I'm pretty sure I had the bonus by now last year which is why I was questioning. Thx

EXACTLY - we pay NOTHING via debit. Everything is on credit card to earn points or cash back. Then we pay the bill in full each month. Actually, it is set up to auto pay to insure we never pay interest.

Mgm recently sent a ccard offer for $150 and 15,000 TC with $1500 spend which is slightly tempting.

Update - So my buddy got his 5,000 tier bonus yesterday. I spent over $5K the first couple days of January and still have not gotten my 5,000 tier bonus.

 

[AC_Jeff]

don’t have a data point yet on the 5,000 but i can report that I got credited with the 2500TC for opening an account and making first purchase and another 2500TC for charging 1,000 in first 90 days on the day my first billing cycle ended ( I charged 1100 that first month)

I spent well over $5,000 on my January statement which closed on the 10th. I've yet to receive my 5,000 TC bonus as well.

I got an email from Caesars today they’d give me back Diamond status if I spent $5k or more on the card between March and May. Went all in on MGM last year for the most part.

I had debated closing it as I didn’t use at any longer, but this has me contemplating things.

I messaged them in the beginning of February and received a reply to wait 2 billing cycles. After 2 billing cycles, I replied to them and was told "By 2 billing cycles, we meant 60 days from date of spend. Please wait until March 1." The funny thing is that my buddy spent the $5K almost 2 weeks after me and received his 5K tier bonus last week.

That's not a bad deal. The advertised promo of this thread is for 5K tiers for spending $5K. But your offer is to get diamond, that's a guaranteed 15K tiers, for the same spend. I've never seen that before but for me personally, that would be great. With that I could get diamond plus in a single trip.

Update for anyone that is partaking in the spend $5000 on a CZR Credit card and get a 5K tier Bonus. I have still not received the bonus. 1st contact with Caesars Rewards informed me to wait 2 billing cycles. After that passed they then informed me to wait until 1 March. And here we are......My issue is that I wasn't asking for the tiers - they advertised a promotion to get money and I partook in it. They got the money spent on their card and I have only received gaslighting. Just curious if anyone other than my buddy has received the 5K bonus tiers?

This is the key. Don’t carry a balance. It’s a terrible financial decision to do so, and when you don’t, the interest rate makes no difference.

Yes, I’ve gotten my 5k this year. Usually happens about a week after the billing cycle ends where the 5k was achieved.

Damn! Why didn’t I get this offer. I used to be diamond as well. Just lost it last month at the rollover. Bummer. But I hope you took advantage of it!

It's now been over 2 months since my January statement when I spent we'll over $5,000. I still have not received the 5,000 TC credit card spend perk.

I got my 5k tier credits from the CC spend a couple of days ago. So you should probably get yours pretty soon.

Update - last week I called CR and spoke to the most helpful dude ever. He said I should have gotten it already and doing quick math, he sees I'm qualified, but there is a process he has to follow. He said he needs to formally request a spend verification from the credit card company which will take a few days. He sent me an email and said to follow up with him in 4 days via the email. On day 4 I sent him a reminder and request for an update - he replied back within a couple hours and confirmed he received the spend report and stated he was adding me to some processing log and I should see the bump within 10 days. It only took 4 days from the email and it was added to my account.

My takeaway is that in typical fashion, Cesars offers promotions with a broken system for satisfying their end of the deal - this results in the customer having to fight to get them to honor their end of their own promotion.

I got my 5k TC about a week ago. It took them a little over a month after I met the spend requirement.

They have obvious glitches. My buddy got his in like 3-4 weeks. But I know others in my boat....After escalating it, I got mine finally 2.5 months later (all my qualifying spend was on 1 Jan 25 - 1 day).

 

[greggraz]

I received mine last week. I too spend 5k in January
