If it's been updated, it should show an expiration date of 1-31-2017.

CET has renewed with FoundersCard. CET just raised resort fees to $36 (including tax) per day on most of their resorts.
For more info can on CET Diamond with FoundersCard PM me.
Referral code for $400 off, FCSCOTT229
Diamond Benefits:
* Waived resort fees
* VIP check in
* VIP lines for restaurants, etc.
* First on the CET shuttles between Rio, Ballys, and Harrahs
* Diamond Lounges - wonderful benefit
* 2 free show tickets PER MONTH
* $100 annual celebration dinner comp (I got it no problem, have read reports of not guaranteed). Good for many, many restaurants. No problem at all to use
* At some CET, better quality comped drinks (I asked for Crown Royal Reserve, said could no do, then saw the Diamond card, and no problem) YMMV
* Special parking at some CET - Windsor, Canada for sure
Other benefits of FoundersCard, almost as good = Hilton Gold Status = Upgrades, free breakfast, etc.
Sixt Platinum status and discount - I reserved a full size car, ended up being upgraded to a Mercedes in Orlando

This option is looking better and better. At $36/night resort fee plus the $100 dining credit, it wouldn't take long for this to pay for itself. I'm guessing that once CET starts charging for parking in Vegas that this will have an added benefit of free parking.

Well, we have had the benefit of (free) Diamond Parking in Atlantic City for years. So, my guess is that it will be an added benefit if/when Caesars Entertainment charges for parking in Vegas. FWIW, the benefit in AC can be as much as $40; which is the highest rate (I believe) Caesars charges for parking (valet) during the height of the summer season.

Does anyone know why the expiration date is now 1/31/2017? Did TR change the expiration date in general or does it expire early for FC members only? Normally TR Diamond level lasts thru 3/31 of the next year.

Where applicable. Resort Fees are not automatically assessed for Diamond or Seven Stars members, but such packages may be purchased upon request with Reservations or Front Desk Agent. The amenities covered by resort fees will vary by location. Please ask Reservations or Front Desk for more details.

I have successfully matched Tropicana Atlantic City, Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Golden Nugget Atlantic City in the past few months. But, that had less to do with the (Diamond) status per se.
I believe, in Atlantic City, Golden Nugget AC is aggressive with matches. But, Borgata seems to have the most "defined" and "consistent" program.
