    So, RCs expire if no earning occurs in a 6 month period.

    I have $3200 in RCs that expire early May
    I live in Australia - just getting back every 6 months requires some level of commitment.
    I flew in from Sydney to Reno via LAX on 3/18 to be greeted by the news that my reservation for that evening at Harrahs Tahoe was cancelled (the Baymont Suites Reno Airport was a significant downgrade from my expected suite overlooking Lake Tahoe)

    My reservations in the next month in Las Vegas, AC and New Orleans are also obliterated.

    Then on 3/19 comes the news that Australia is pulling up the drawbridge and Qantas will have no international flights from late next week until at least May)

    Luckily American after initially cancelling all its trans-Pac flights after 3/18 ( I was on the last flight out of Sydney) decided to extend its final flights to NZ until 3/27 and I have been able to get a flight on Monday LAX-AKL-BNE. This has been a whirlwind trip to The States and I don't think I'd do it again just for 5 days in a Reno without casinos and with a McDonald's that will only serve drive-thrus when I don't have a car.

    I foster no ill-will, nor do I apportion any blame or responsibility to anyone other than myself for my misfortune :cry: but with all these major catastrophes happening in my little world bubble, it would be nice if just one tiny thing could go right - please CET extend the expiration date of people's RCs

    Cosmo has already extended, so there is hope.

    Boyd needs to do the same. My points will expire before the shutdowns end.

    No lecture, just the comment that this is why I do use up my RCs. I've had friends lose theirs, although nowhere in the quantity of yours. I just received Cosmo's announcement via e-mail tonight (although I have zero with them lol). So hopefully it will be on their mind and they will make adjustments to those dates soon.

    Status for me is also an issue - without this early year trip I will end up losing Diamond. Not the end of the world but will provide more out of pocket money for RFs next year if they don't allow status to roll forward a year.

    Also - in the 'Partners' section - are there any merchants that you can access and shop through in the Marketplace section? There are 559 merchants, but I don't know if any of them are available to people living in other countries. Might be worth checking.

    can you apply for a CET visa card? that will extend it naturally.

    But yes i agree with you on what CET SHOULD do, i am just pessimistic on what they will do.

    I just emailed CET asking if they have any plans of extending TC expiration dates. I suggest we all do so and maybe they would actually do it.

    Thanks - in my 14 day mandatory self isolation period on return to Australia I will have plenty of time for online shopping so will check out the portal.

    Given how our South Pacific Peso has gone against the US dollar in recent times for a few greenbacks I should be able to buy the entire country here

    The CET credit card is for US citizens only.

    You could make a minimum purchase to one of Playtika's games, which would earn you enough to extend your cycle 6 months.

    Even a $6.99 USD purchase would do it.

    Thanks - what sort of delay is there between purchase and RCs posting in your experience?

    Actually, I am not a US citizen or resident (Canadian citizen and resident), and I applied for the CET credit card with zero issues. Just had to do it by phone, not online. Used my Canadian address and everything without issue. Only roadblock is that you can't pay the bill from a Canadian bank account. Luckily, I have a workaround to circumvent this... but that's the only encumbrance I've ever encountered with this card as a non-US person. I'm pretty sure Canadians are the only non-US applicants they accept.

    Thus, this naturally does not help the OP since they live in Australia. Just wanted to clarify that it's not only US persons who can get the card :)

    it shouldn't be more than a day or two, however, let me experiment tonight and I'll report back.

    I just made a $6.99 purchase at 9:30PM PDT and made a note of my RCs.

    On the FAQ, it should be about a week. I made a decision Sunday not to put my card in near the end of my session and that I would buy that if I had to. $6.99 the cheapest package? :(

    10:57 PM and I received my 9 RCs. Now, a caveat on that. I used Playtika directly and not through the Facebook version. So, AS LITTLE AS an hour and a half.

    On Facebook, $10 is the least expensive chip purchase. But, if all you're interested in is earning RCs to extend your time limit, on the buy page, if you scroll all the way to the right, there is a package for $7 for "Star Dice".

    And I'm sorry, it's been so long since I joined that I can't tell you how to link your TR account with your Playtika account.

    I was running into the same problem of RCs expiring and I am from Canada...................., In the Slotomania game(Facebook), there is a piggy bank on the right corner of the screen, I broke that, which cost me $4.04 CAN, and the points were on my Caesars Reward page the next day, which extended my expiry date another 6 months.

    I'd do slotomania too. Don't care as long as I get RC.

    Does Slotomania give UK residents TR points? Terms say we can’t play but that may be just a legal thing like Wynn etc. Anyone know?
