Thread: Wynn doing status match through May 31, and you don't need a high card to get there

  1. #1
    Wynn has a fairly simple tier rewards system.

    Red is the entry card.

    Platinum and Black are the only two earned statuses. Black is top.

    Here's the program description: https://www.wynnlasvegas.com/wynn-rewards


    They are doing a status match until May 31, and you get all of the perks listed for each of the cards. Details here: https://www.wynnlasvegas.com/wynn-rewards/tier-upgrade


    Unlike the fairly stingy match requirements at Fountainebleu, Wynn doesn't require much to get to their middle Platinum tier.


    Here's what gets you Wynn Platinum:

    Caesars Platinum/Diamond/Diamond Plus/Diamond Elite
    MGM Gold and Platinum
    Stations President and Chairman
    Venetian/Palazzo Ruby and Diamond
    Genting (Resorts World) Rewards Monarch
    Fontainebleau Silver and Gold


    Here's what gets you Wynn Black:
    Caesars Seven Stars
    MGM Noir
    Genting (Resorts World) Imperial
    Fontainebleau Royal



    Platinum gets you a Holland America cruise in an Oceanview stateroom. Not sure what is involved in getting that upgraded to a balcony (verandah) stateroom, which is what you'd really want.

    Black gets you a balcony stateroom, and you can also take up to a 12-day cruise.

    There is a "birthday dinner" credit of $150 for Platinum and $300 for Black, but not sure what happens if you're like me, and your birthday already passed this calendar year.

    You do get $100 spa credit for Platinum, and $200 for Black.


    I believe they made a mistake allowing Caesars Platinum to match to Wynn Platinum. Caeasars Platinum is very easy to achieve, and in fact you can get it by signing up for the Caesars Rewards credit card (though that only lasts one year). I believe the military and veterans can also get complimentary Caesars Platinum. This is definitely the easiest path to Wynn Platinum.

    The MGM equivalent to Caesars Platinum is Pearl, but that doesn't get you anything here.

    Notably absent is the Mirage/Hard Rock program.

    Chairman is actually top.

    I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people.

    It's unfortunate I didn't see any mention of waiving resort fees in their tier benefits. It's odd they match Caesars Platinum through Diamond Elite to the same tier... and then not match MGM Pearl or Stations Platinum at all?? Doesn't make much sense...

    Resorts fees are not automatically waived at Wynn, but any decent play will get the job done.

    The only ways to get into the VIP tower suites lounges are with starred (RFB) tower suites keys as part of a current stay, or with a Chairman's card. Black card doesn't do it any longer. The Wynn/Encore VIP lounges are the best in town, by far, as far as food, drink and service. I've known of some degenerate high rollers who wouldn't even take time to eat if it weren't for those lounges.

    Chairman's card also gets free tower suites valet at any time.

    Otherwise, I don't keep up with what each tier gives or doesn't give I just earn it based on play (theo loss) and have the host comp everything off. We actually have stayed at Wynn with zero play before - for ridiculously long times fully RFB, but prior monstrous action carries a lot of weight, at least for 1 or 2 trips until they start complaining.

    Thanks for the heads up Druff.

    For the cruise, I don't see anything on Wynn's website regarding Black level getting a balcony and up to 12 day trip. Is that based on experience?

    Seems super shitty that the dining credit can only be used during your birthday month, haven't seen that before.

    Another good perk you left out is a free round of golf, I'm sure many consider that valuable considering the face value cost.

    The host comping everything off has nothing to do with tier levels.

    This, in fact, has always annoyed me when discussing tier benefits. I had a debate along these lines with Daryl McEwen of Seven Stars Insider (RIP) when they took away the Seven Stars "guaranteed 4-5 free nights" room benefit in the late 2010s.

    He dismissed it as inconsequential because "Seven Stars members always get free rooms anyway".

    I told him that this wasn't always true, if their play was inconsistent, had a low ADT/MDV, or was not particularly recent. He told me that HE always got comp rooms, and couldn't picture any other Seven Stars member not getting them. I then informed him that I was one of those Seven Stars not automatically getting comped, and he treated me like a fluke outlier.

    The whole point of tier benefits is getting guaranteed benefits, regardless of your recent play or what hosts feel like doing.

    In fact, this is also why I always advise AGAINST letting hosts fix hotel/restaurant billing problems. Because they don't fix anything. They just comp off the billing mistake, which eats into your comp power. Most people don't get this, and think that hosts are just magic fixers.

    I used to be super tilted at Caesars when there would be some kind of stupid hotel billing fail, and they'd tell me "have your host fix it".

    I didn't know Wynn Chairman existed though. Interesting.

    Y'all remember the origin of the "Chairman" tier at casinos? It was megawhale Terrence Watanabe, who demanded it in 2007 because he didn't think Seven Stars was exclusive enough. They created it just for him. Now there's no more Chairman at Caesars, but other companies have adopted the rank.

    From the Terms and Conditions:

    Members may redeem one (1) total cruise package benefit based on member’s tier status as of the redemption date as more specifically set forth below (the “Cruise Benefit”) during the calendar year from (February 1 through January 31), regardless of tier. Members and their travel guests must be twenty-one (21) years of age or older to redeem the applicable Cruise Benefit and sail on the cruise. Members may only redeem once per Tier Benefit Redemption Period.

    Two hundred U.S. Dollar ($200.00 USD) deposit will be charged to the member’s credit card at time of booking, and upon sailing, such deposit will be converted to a non-transferrable $200 onboard credit. In the event of cancellation, the $200 deposit shall be non-refundable. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, discounted cruise offers are subject to a non-refundable deposit of ninety-nine U.S. Dollars ($99.00 USD) per person for the first two (2) guests.

    The Cruise Benefit applies to cruise fare only on applicable Carnival Corporation (“Carnival”)cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line and Seabourn Line. All applicable fees, taxes and port expenses are the responsibility of the member and travel guest. All other expenses not expressly provided in these Terms and Conditions including, but not limited to, airfare, ground transportation, pre and post cruise accommodations, shore excursion fees, certain food and beverages including alcoholic beverages, gratuities, premium dining, spa services, onboard expenditures, and any other incidental costs or other expenses not specifically set forth herein are the sole responsibility of each member and/or his/her travel guest. Reservations are subject to availability, blackout dates, Cruise Benefit terms and conditions, the applicable Cruise Line Ticket Contract found at the respective cruise line’s website, cruise line policies and based on capacity restrictions. Wynn and Encore Las Vegas and Carnival do not guarantee that the cruise will be available on the exact sailing dates or itinerary requested by a member. All travel is capacity controlled and subject to availability. Member and travel guest must travel on the same itinerary. No credit refunds shall be provided for stateroom downgrades. Any portion of a Cruise Benefit not accepted or used by a member will be forfeited, and Carnival and Wynn and Encore Las Vegas shall not be responsible for any inability of a member to accept or use any portion of the Cruise Benefit for any reason.

    Members are eligible to redeem the applicable Cruise Benefit for their respective tier at the time of booking their Cruise Benefit, subject to the applicable terms and conditions to each cruise tiered offer set forth below. Members may only redeem the Cruise Benefit one (1) time during the calendar year from (February 1 through January 31) based on member’s tier status at time of redemption, regardless of any tier status changes. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event a Platinum tier member redeems their Cruise Benefit and then later increases their tier status to Black during the calendar year, such member will already be deemed to have redeemed the Cruise Benefit and shall not be entitled to redeem an additional Cruise Benefit.

    Red Tier Members

Additionally, Platinum Tier members must complete the Cruise Request Form at link to authorize Carnival outreach and acknowledge the one-time cruise redemption per year policy.

Members receive $300 Onboard Credit per stateroom and one (1) welcome amenity selected by Carnival.

    See bolded above.

    I discovered something new, also.

    Black does indeed get a balcony ("verandah") stateroom, and with no restrictions.

    Unfortunately, Platinum not only is limited to oceanview (no balcony), but also has to stay at Wynn twice ("non-consecutively") in the past year in order to get it. So that starts to make this not worth it, unless you want to stay at Wynn anyway.
