I figure Diamond is worth about $1000 to us, probably more. as resort fees at Paris are ~ $60 a night now. .

Diamond desk check in gets usually gets you in the room well before 4pm ( we usually land around 11am) and a chance of a free upgrade although we already have a suite booked.

At check out the hosts sitting in the Paris DD have always been good at taking room charges off our final bill.

$100 Diamond Diner, $50 in reward credits for spending the $5K , maybe a high roller ride and even a status match at another casino if we get lucky and the dates line up.

I don't have any new card SUB going on, the bonus isn't taking a 5/24 spot so it works for me.
