For AC players, which Harrah's has to keep, since there is so much nearby competition, the "bonus" feature, makes the new system a good deal.
As I noted in #2, they give lots of free play, which can be banked, so saving to play a lot in one day can be very profitable, especially if that day is a multiplier day.
Example: for the AC casinos Jan. 1 was a 13x (and possibly an additional 5x) rewards credits day. So if someone played 2500 TC, they would get an additional 32,500 (or more) Rewards Credits, which can be converted into free play (at 2:1) = $162.50 which can be used (in combination with other free play) to help make your next visit into another 2500 TC day--playing with their money. Even getting 1000 TC (which they will match) is not a bad deal either. [Except for a promo in December of 2012, I can't remember a time when they let you "magnify" your tier credits--now, beginning Jan. 1, you can do this everyday.]
