I was wondering if I signed up say April 1, 2025 if I could get the CET Diamond match for 2025 and again for 2026 while paying just one annual fee ?

There is the $100 dinner and I could easily earn 100TC my first day in Vegas but would the dinner post in 6 days ?

We also have a 7 night Marriott Myrtle Beach stay in June so I could use the Platinum challenge for breakfast and a possible room upgrade.

While Marriot Platinum could I also match to MGM Gold ?

I'm just trying to figure out if I can justify the $395 fee, we only have one 6 night per year Vegas trip planned in 2025 and 2026 so resort fees ( assuming I can't get them waived at checkout) would be about $720 for 12 nights...........factoring in a RF increase at some point in 2025.

We travel a lot so I'm guessing there may be some other FC benefits I could use.

Of course this all ASSUMES FC matches to CET Diamond in 2025 and 2026.

FoundersCard is YOUR membership year, based on when you pay.
If they (FoundersCard) give you a benefit like Caesars Diamond, and your membership year ends, there have been stories of them "removing" the benefit (YMMV)
Caesars Diamond Dinner does not "post," as it's been, it's there, you just need to earn the Tier Credits (as advised) to utilize the benefit. (But, perhaps, I am incorrect about this, Caesars does strange things.)
Marriott Platinum does NOT match to MGM Rewards Gold
The current best price for FC (AFAIK) is $295
