I had a player ask me to sell him my 7* companion card. Has+ anyone ever done this?
Why? The only value is that it lets the holder use Seven Stars lines. There are no other benefits. Well... maybe valet and Diamond lounges.
The companion cards go for $1,000+ in the Atlantic City market. Reasons? Access to the two Seven Stars lounges and full buffets in the Diamond Clubs.
That makes sense for Atlantic City. They have THE best diamond lounges in the country by far!!! How do you generally find buyers.Quote:

I agree with Alan. I will also sell mine for a price like that.
If anyone in AC is interested, PM me.
I will sell my companion card for $5 less than Dan. PM me.
I know several AC locals/retirees who would be interested. Since your card expires on Jan 31, 2018, the companion card value is actually much higher (than 17 big bets).Quote:

Do both people have to be at the total rewards desk together to do this? In the past, I've had my girlfriend with me when I assigned the companion card to her, but I don't recall that she had to sign anything. I think I signed the form with her name, address and TR card number.
I'll be in AC in a couple of weeks. How can I connect with the people who desire the card?Quote:

I guarantee the lowest price. (So many single Seven Stars card holders will do this that the market value will drop to one video poker bet.)
Forget the card. My companion is for sale--cheap!!!Quote:

Mine expires on 1/31/17.Quote:

If I go to AC, I will let you know and maybe I can meet up with someone there to sign them up.
Also if you know of any of these AC people visiting Vegas or Rincon, please let me know.
Hi, I would be willing to buy a companion card for $100. I can paypal you the funds or pay in cash in Vegas (my next trip is the 16th-21st of may).
I am currently diamond and have been for almost 10 years.
You can PM me on the forum.
I will be in LV May 23-31.
I'm in the market for $100 companion cards too...maybe 100+
I will be in LV May 21-22. But I am a greedy SOB and I want more than $100. You can save hundreds of dollars shopping in the gift shops (if you are so inclined) with a 7 Stars Card.
It looks like the unofficial price of Seven Stars companion cards will be going up with the start of MGM's parking fees and the anticipation that Caesars will quickly follow. I am seeing more posts on Internet forums with players willing to pay to be listed as a "companion." http://alanbestbuys.com/id335.html
If anyone is in the tri-state area, looking to buy a 7star companion card. Willing to pay ~$450, must be good for 2017
Which tri-state area?Quote:

I believe all of the companion cards expire on 1/31/17, and they have to be re-established at that point.
I will go ask TR later today if it's possible to do a companion card from across the country, like if each person goes to TR at the same time in their respective casinos.
That might make it easier.
I would really appreciate that! Obviously if this is the case I'll gladly by yours, let me know!Quote:

u still looking for a card?
my card is good til jan 2018 by the way
would love a companion card in vegas. i visit here and enjoy the spa and lounges..in vegas now.
I just noticed this. Does the physical card you have now actually have a 2018 date? Or are you referring to the fact that you will be Seven Stars until Jan 2018?Quote:

There is a way to get it done without both cardholders being there.
I just managed this. My 7 Stars companion was thousands of miles away when he got his.
It's not easy to do, but it can be done.
First, get the full name (correct spelling) and Total Rewards # of the person you want to assign as companion.
Next, find out from your TR companion which property your companion will be visiting to pick up the card.
Then go to Total Rewards yourself, and talk a supervisor into doing this for you. Some will agree, others will refuse and claim it can't be done. If you get refused, go to another Total Rewards or come during a different shift and get a different supervisor.
Fortunately I got a nice supervisor who was very helpful and said yes, without me having to look elsewhere.
If they agree, you will fill out a form with your info and your companon's info. Be sure to have that companion's info with you when you visit Total Rewards, so you can fill out the form.
Tell the supervisor which property your companion will be picking up the card at. Ask them to BOTH note your TR account to allow this, as well as e-mail the supervisor at the other property regarding what's going on.
Then your companion just needs to show up to their property, tell them to look up your TR # (make sure you give it to them), check the notes, and complete the process over there.
I got it done successfully, though there were some hiccups along the way.
I am interested in a companion card on seven stars. My guy is diamond and will not go to the next level, and tired of having him to check me in just to use the spa. I am in Vegas a lot and willing to pay above 300$ negotiable and all. I dont shop a lot in the stores so its not much use to me there, but I love the gym use and the no waiting in lines. Thanks
According to Darryl McEwen, as of Sept. 28th, 2017, the Seven Stars/Diamond (Aspirations Level 2) Companion Card can be assigned only to a spouse/domestic partner. Those who have designated a friend, family member, etc. will have to make a change on Feb. 1st, 2018.
This is very interesting. How do you establish a "domestic partner"? Couldn't I be living with my girlfriend or even my wife but we have driver's licenses with different addresses? Are they going to insist on a marriage certificate or joint utility bill?Quote:

For the last several years I've given my companion card to girlfriends. No one ever asked if they were a spouse or domestic partner. Are they really going to start asking???
I guess the boothling can "ask" but the definition of a domestic partner is all over the map. It could be treated like "handicapped" passengers allowed to board airplanes early -- you take their word for it. See this entry from Wikipedia:Quote:

I can't imagine them asking for proof if you both show up together. Even same sex.
The change requiring spouse or domestic partner has now been rescinded, and the change is reflected in the rules posted online. Companion cards can be assigned to anyone over the age of 21 (or 19, in Canada).Quote:

I want to buy a companion card as well. I am Vegas based.
I will not be Seven Stars after the end of this month so I can't help you. But I'm curious what you are willing to pay? Those with Seven Stars in 2019 will need to know. Thanks and good luck.Quote:

Is $900 what you're willing to pay for a companion card? That seems very high unless for some reason you need free parking a lot.Quote:

I am in Atlantic City currently and I am interested in buying a companion card for 2019. Please let me know.
My 7* companion card is available. I'll be in Vegas this month. Message me if interested.
I have one available as well. Please PM if interested.Quote:

Anyone has one available to sell for this year?
Mine is available. PM to discuss if interested.
I have a Seven Stars companion card available. I will be in Las Vegas next week, staying at Caesars Palace. Will need to be able to pick up the card on 2/13, 2/14 or 2/15. The companion card is NOT for sale but is being offered at no charge as a thank you for the information I have received from this board. I am a long time lurker but finally registered an account to post this. I want it go to someone who will get value from it, so please don't ask for it if you will only use it on a single trip. I also want it to go to someone who will not cause a scene or get in a fist fight in the lounge, etc. so please only ask for it if your momma taught you to act right. I will be the sole judge of which "applicant" should be the recipient of the card.
FYI I was able talk them into doing a companion card for someone who wasn't physically present with me, and in fact that person picked it up in another state. This was a few years ago, though. But that's a possible option if the person can't make it from 2/13-2/15.
I should also mention that, unless you are going to use Diamond/Seven Stars lounges, there's not much point to get a Seven Stars companion card if you're already Diamond. It's better to give this to someone who is Gold or Platinum.
Anyway, if you can't find anyone who wants this, I might be able to find a Vegas local I know who would appreciate it.
Thanks for this generous offer.
If you have not found anyone to take the card I will be in Las Vegas on the 13th. I go to Vegas several times a year enjoy visiting the diamond lounge. Now that they charge points I have to really limit the amount of times I visit the lounge so this card would come in handy. If you already have someone who could use it more then no problem.Quote:

Back 2016 or 17 my wife had her 7* Companion issued to someone she did not know or authorize. To fix the problem they issued my wife a second player's number. This so TR could give out the proper Companion Card. They never did say who or where it got issued.
7* companion card is worthless in Vegas. Can't even get the four drink voucher. It does put you in front for taxis.
