I never have problems getting free drinks and I have a feeling if I started playing slots to get Diamond status I would end up paying for those drinks many times over, lol
I bet enough on sports alone to get D+ but I shop odds so my action is spread all over Nevada and Connecticut. CET rarely has the best odds but I can use my Reward credits ( xfer from Wyndham) to bet sports so Once in a while I see decent value at CET..........Falcons under 9 1/2 wins plus $110 was the best line in town last summer.
I'm glad it works for you.
No need for snarkiness. But, you can easily manage to get Diamond Plus during on 10x multiplier period by playing video poker. It can also still be done at $10 per tier credit in certain markets and even with 98% to 99% games. Unlike sports betting, this will also "kick off" a huge number of comp rooms (calendar) and marketing offers; if used strategically that will present a lot of value.
Happy to be corrected, but you are the one who asked this question:
"Does the Founders card membership run Jan - December 31 or is it a 12 month period ?
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 ?"
Which makes one wonder, what is your purpose if you already get Diamond Plus so strategically and brilliantly via sports betting? (As you clearly say "I bet enough on sports alone to get D+") In that case, there is no purpose or need to ponder any of this and especially no reason to ponder getting FoundersCard. Seems like a waste of time to me, if you already have Diamond Plus. Unless I'm missing something.
BTW, I've yet to meet a gambler who doesn't tell me they are brilliant. I tend to be helpful and answer questions. I never advocate playing slots, but I also appreciate many enjoy slots. Even lousy video poker with a multiplier period can work well, especially with the stacked daily tier bonuses. Diamond Plus free drinks are still $25 drinks, and often much better than you would get in an average scenario on the casino floor (comp drinks), is that valuable to some, maybe yes, maybe no.
