I need to stop checking the founderscard site, but I did notice something odd. In the past, when I would click on the lifestyle tab on the left side on their site, the first item listed has been always the total reward benefit. I noticed that wasn't the case anymore this afternoon. Does that mean anything, probably not, but strange after all this time it has changed.

Here is the absolut latest, i am on the fence on weather to get the card. If they have the TR benifit i will be ordering this.
Founders sales team just called me about buying A membership and said they are still trying to work out a deal they think they will cut a deal however there WILL BE CHANGES. he could not go into detail but will let me know as soon as they know because i am on the fence with getting the card. I could use the other benifits too however this is the one that will seal the deal.

absolutely agree... not worth it if founders drop it to platinum. might as well just sign up for their own total rewards credit card instead and spend $5k each year to get platinum.

TR is known to give away platinum when you get a credit card and other times. so for them its no big deal Diamond on the other hand is a huge perk. so i dont see them keeping it. But if they do the 100 dollar cert. will go away, the no resort fee, and the free tickets a month going away, I dont see them taking the diamond lounge away since its easy to dispute if you have the card. TR has to many casinos to enfource diamond access lounges at one time. so i think that will stay.

• VIP Line Access at participating restaurants
• VIP Line check-in
• VIP Line for taxis and entertainment venues
• Preferred entry into participating Las Vegas nightclubs
• Pool access at all Las Vegas properties
BUT.... your tier status still remains at platinum.
Remember, Rewards Credit are different than Tier Credits. The Total Rewards VISA will help you earn Rewards Credits but will NOT increase your tier status at all. You can spend a million dollars on stuff with the VISA each year but will still remain at platinum tier status.
You can maintain platinum tier status with $5k spend in each calendar year.

Its kind of misleading on their website but for $10k spend a year you get "VIP status" treatment:
• VIP Line Access at participating restaurants
• VIP Line check-in
• VIP Line for taxis and entertainment venues
• Preferred entry into participating Las Vegas nightclubs
• Pool access at all Las Vegas properties
BUT.... your tier status still remains at platinum.

Going to throw my final speculation out there: this perk is going nowhere...unless you aren't FC Elite. My guess is that anyone still in an agreement or up for renewal will be grandfathered in for "good will" for a limited amount of time (until they reach Elite thru referrals), but all new members will need to pony up to FC Elite to get Diamond. To be more appealing, Elite will drop in cost. I'd book that bet in Vegas, haha.
