HI Mike
Although we will be having a Total Rewards benefit this year it is not going to be Diamond status.

While I was on the website checking out the other benefits, a live chat box came up. I asked about the Diamond status and here is what I received back from Mark N:
"We are in the midst of re-negotiating our benefits with Caesars. We should know in the next couple weeks."
Guess I will just keep a lookout on this forum as well as FoundersCard website. Thanks for all the info so far!!

MLife here I come. Just got a tempting junket offer for Beau Rivage that is suddenly quite appealing. I will have Mlife Platinum through Oct 1 and Gold for next year through a Hyatt match so it makes sense to make the switch.

Thanks for the update! I wonder what perks they will offer instead?

Yes, Diamond status with TR was the only major benefit FC offered and that was not easily obtainable elsewhere (through a CC or a challenge). I hope FC fully realizes how bad for their business not renewing their contract with CET is.

I called FC today because I joined and applied for the Total Rewards upgrade and had yet received it. They stated that Total Rewards halted the processing of anymore Diamond upgrades and that I would have to wait for the new agreement. Sounds like I will get the same perks I already get with my TR Visa and be out the membership I spent with FC. The other things are not much interest for me. My upcoming trips to Vegas made it seem like a good investment, well guess I'm already losing as I head to Vegas. Definitely not going to renew my membership if the perks are similar to my TC Visa. Anyone joining for this benefit may want to hold up.

Good Luck
Pretty much was told it's hard enough to cancel let alone get a refund. They said I shouldn't have registered for just 1 perk because they change. However, I did register prior to the benefits changing and never got the upgrade.

If you paid with an American Express card, Amex should take care of it for you.
