Seven Stars Benefits Timeline

[Glenbaccarat9]

7 Stars and MGM Platinum both changed big time in the M.O.'s of offerings and operations around 2010isg or so if I recall. How 7 Stars used to bank all your points and you could freely spend them as you desired in retail shops on premises and then have your hosts cover all your RF&B, etc., by hard comping them. Then the first sign was of the trimming up was CET having the stedfast rule that all points have to be used and deducted forst for all RF&B and then the host can step in. All points went away towards the stay and on property stuff before shopping. We were able to burnt he points up prior to check out but they stopped that as well with about one year of their trimming up thoughts. They cut themselves in the foot with all their full comp players by doing what they did.

Back around then and before all points still expired yearly but a host was able to extend deadlines by numerous months. All changed.

You're correct. Caesars has been slowly degrading their comps over the past 7-8 years, and the biggest degradation occurred in 2018 with the loss of the guaranteed comp room benefit for Seven Stars.

The "having to use all RCs before RFB comps are allowed" rule is really annoying, and they started heavily enforcing it around 2014. Prior to that, it was enforced at some properties (especially Vegas), but corporate looked the other way when certain properties (or hosts) gave RFB comps to players with RCs still in their accounts. Eventually they made a hard rule that this was never allowed.

There is still a trick to get around this. Look at all the junk e-mails you get regarding Total Rewards partners, and find the ones which have to do with hotels at non-CET properties. For example, right now they have partnerships with Rocketmiles and Wyndham. Simply use RCs to book fake future stays until almost all of your RCs are gone, then take your gambling trip, get your RFB comps, and then cancel those hotel stays when you get back, and the RCs will return to your account.

I've never done this personally, but I know those that have.
