I got screwed 18 months ago in Vegas and had to pay 6 nights of resort fees because my Diamond didn't show up in time for my Vegas trip.Back then it was 8 full weeks.

I tried to take advantage of the "Quest for rewards", playing 25 TC at Paris, PH and the Linq. I played it all over the course of a couple of hours and ended up with 88TC total. I was an existing TR member but had not been inside any of their casinos since 2008 or so. I wish I knew more about how I qualified for the comps, but it seems it wasnt based on my losses/wins.
For example, when I first started playing at TR, I earned about 1000 tier credits per day, and that gave me offers of 5 free nights at Caesars and $300 in free play. I was never able to take advantage of these, but fast forward a few months/years, and with the same level of play I get offers of 2 free weeknights at Caesars or 3 free nights at lower tier properties and maybe $20 in freeplay, which aren't even worth the effort.

baccarat_king mentioned it says 3 full weeks now...it will be very close call.. if your'e staying 4-5nights that gives you an extra week though. you just need Diamond applied to your account before your last night at the hotel to avoid the fees.

Recent TR Diamond Status Upgrade
2 weeks ago, my significant other Founders Card holder applied for the Diamond Status. Today, they received the status. This works out great as we have a trip to Vegas next week.

They swipe at the lounge. It's the "swipe" and what the computer says (Diamond or 7 Star) that allows you access to the lounge. You could just as easily swipe an "old" Gold card that you had prior to gaining Diamond Status. (Also, you have to show an ID that matches the name on the Total Rewards account.)

You might also "really ponder" your first play at a Total Rewards Casino.
We posted an article about that yesterday. (Note : I am affiliated with this link.)

Renew or not?
I tried to cancel my membership as my first year membership is almost approaching. I got a repliy by Alice:
A few things I want to make you aware of before I cancel your account:
You are eligible for an Anniversary Gift upon this renewal: 1) $100 Amazon e-giftcard, or 2) Complimentary Significant Other Membership ($495 value, will remain active as long as you are).
You have a Charter Member rate of $395 annually, new Members are joining at $595 annually. You would lose access to this rate upon cancelation and would not be able to get it back if you rejoined.
All Elite Status upgrades (Total Rewards, Hilton HHonors, Hertz, Avis, Virgin America, Cathay Pacific, etc.) or ongoing account savings obtained through FoundersCard will be downgraded or removed by the end of the month.
Included in your Membership is over $8k in Account Credits and Complimentary subscriptions. I have attached a screenshot outlining these benefits for your review. These are the easiest ways Members tell me they offset the cost of Membership!
I have to say the Complimentary memberhsip for my wife would is very tempting. Does that mean she can become Diamond Total Rewards as well, and get all the same perks I got this past year, including Anniversary gift, tickets to shows, etc? have anyone renew before accepting this gift membership?
Thanks,
Milagros

I inquiry about the type of complementary membership and this is the response. It sounds too good to be true. Then, they offered to continue paying $395 for 2 membership going forward?
Have anyone taken this offer before? Any comments?
Thank you for your prompt reply. The complimentary Significant Other would have full access to all of our benefits and their own portal for redeeming benefits. Then going forward you are paying $395 annually for two Memberships which is an incredible value since new Members are joining for $595 for one Membership. Please let me know if you would like to connect and further discuss benefits that I think you may both enjoy. If you would like to add your Significant Other simply email me the below information and I can get her application submitted.

I added my spouse to my account using a similar offer, and it's pretty much the same full membership that I have. In the previous year she applied for Diamond status and was able to receive that benefit as well. I have to see if she signed up for Diamond status this year.
Thank you so much for your response! My wife just got his membership approved and signed up for TR Diamond.
