Does anyone know if they check the card for Diamond lounge access?
I was just curious to know if one can lend the card out to others to use. |

They ask for photo ID with your Diamond Card. There are ways around this, but they tend to not be particularly easy.
Used the Diamond lounge at least 4 times and they were great. Couldn't have been but 20 people in it at most. Comparable to a nice Admirals Club or better with free top shelf booze and hot appetizers between 4:30- 6:30 but plenty of cold snacks/desserts otherwise. Also got to check in at the private Diamond/Seven Seas room versus standing in the lines and lines of regular check in. It was great to cut lines in restaurants, taxi lines, night clubs and even got 2 free show tickets (I guess that's a benefit every month, if I decide to go monthly). We used that to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris, which also had a huge line....except for Diamond. Oh, were they pissed when I whipped that card out and got right on. If I would have got cracking on this sooner, I would have got $100 credit to use in one of their restaurants (yearly benefit) but they say it takes about 30 days to post, but they were sure to say that "I could use it on my next trip.....". Lol! It was nice being a high roller and not gambling one cent! I'm no shill for the FC card, but glad I took advantage of that benefit since I was going anyway to meet some friends. It made for a very nice relaxing trip. |
Interesting info on the $100 dinner credit, couple of questions on that...
Does it have to be used in one transaction? Whats the process for getting it, do you have to request that its posted to you? I've just applied for membership and am looking to go to Vegas in Mid September so fingers crossed its ready in time... |

... it was my impression that when I went to the Total Rewards desk and they asked me if I wanted 2 or 3 cards that my spouse could use it as well.

It has to be used in a single transaction. You must visit a TR desk and they give you a print-out receipt to use when you pay at the applicable restaurants...it works kind of like a $100 coupon usable only once that must be picked-up in-person at a TR desk.

It is NOT guaranteed that you will get this as a FoundersCard upgrade to Diamond. It seems many have, but I did reach out to FoundersCard and they said they cannot guarantee this benefit. It is an awesome additional perk, just wanted to be clear that it is not guaranteed. I also seems to vary by individual player account (Total Rewards Number) and perhaps if they have had other casino play at the Caesars Entertainment properties.

just got my status upgraded! ended up being 3.5 weeks or so from FC initiation to change in TR status
Also, Until the 31st of July; you can also receive a "free" AA Platinum Challenge if you you join FoundersCard, this is the FlyerTalk thread about that status. In addition, if you do want to join FoundersCard feel free to contact me prior to the 31st of July 2015.... I have a "special offer," but prefer to discuss via email or PM. |

Just a point or two about the $100 Diamond Achievement (Qualification dinner).

I have no idea. I have earned Diamond only through play. I simply answered snevillio's specific questions regarding the benefits mechanics....that poster may be more interested. ;)
I had a conversation with FoundersCard the other day, and the $100 Diamond benefit (dining) came up. Since most of the folks around here are "earning" the Diamond status by purchasing FoundersCard membership, I just wanted to be very upfront that this is not a GUARANTEED benefit. |

No worries.
