A friend of mine lost his diamond status and in February got a challenge that if he put $5k on his Caesars credit card in three months they would reinstate his status through January of 2021 so maybe they'll have that promo again. I can easily put enough on my credit card for the VIP card which gives me all the benefits I like from diamond anyway except the $100 dining credit and the waiving of resort fees (don't really care about lounge since you have to use 1000 points to get in) but VIP card doesn't work outside of Vegas and most of my Caesar visits are to Windsor and it comes in handy for the buffet line there.
Fortunately I was in Vegas in early March just before the shutdown so was able to use my $100 dining credit this year at least.
Wyndham and Caesars has reciprocal tier matching as you may know already. Many people have been taking advantage of it to cross match the last few years. Wyndham expires December 31st, but CR expires January 31st. So even if your Wyndham status was temporary, all you have to do is match CR Diamond to Wyndham Diamond at the end of November. When January comes around, then use your Wyndham Diamond to match back to CR Diamond.
As long as Wyndham and CET has this partnership and the reciprocal tier matching is still there, most would not be concerned if there's a tier extension or not.
