It's now official. This evening Caesars posted on its website the new tier score requirements for Platinum, Diamond and 7Stars however there is no mention of Diamond being divided into three different tier levels.
The Caesars website for Total Rewards is here: https://www.totalrewards.com/TotalRe...age=trBenefits And you can see the tier scores needed.
Platinum was 4,000 now 5,000 up 1,000 or 25%
Diamond was 11,000 now 15,000 up 4,000 or 26%
7Stars was 100,000 now 150,000 up 50,000 or 50%
Missing from the Total Rewards site is any mention about dividing Diamond into three groups. Perhaps that was abandoned because of confusion, ill will, something else?
So what they've done is raised the bar for various comps by 25% to as much as 50%. And by raising requirements they will do two things:
1. Limit the amount of free things that certain casinogoers get
2. Increase the amount of "play" that is needed to attain a comp level.
Since Caesars is the largest casino company, it makes sense that other casinos will also raise their requirements for comps. It comes down to this: another way to cut fringe benefits and to save money.
