Earning FCPoints
I'm a few thousand FCPoints short of a good redemption level - is there any easier way to earn a few thousand points than posting "insights" and sending out referral codes at 100 pts each? They used to give 250 FCPoints for tweeting about a deal, but I can't see that anywhere.

Ok, if you become a founders card member and get the diamond upgrade, do you get waived resort fees? I was reading various answers regarding earned tier etc.
I have Platnium (I earned it, was just short of Diamond and also get it from Military programs)...
I understand Atlantis (the free days are only for earned, solid I used it, would be based on my platinum earned status.
I was looking to go to wsop this month and diamond helps cut poker lines(you go to the top), plus they treat you like a ling compared to non diamond member. I need to know if resort fees will be waived. I'm just trying to justify the benefit for myself.
Thanks

Haven't seen or heard yet that any diamonds that were matched are denied the Atlantis offer. You should still be able to utilize the Atlantis Diamond offer. They will just verify your account and play with CET then give you the routine spiel of "playing X amount of hours" to justify the comped offer or you will be charged at the end of the trip. Haven't heard of anyone being charged after the trip either if they didn't meet their expected play requirements.

Oh that is great to hear. Thanks for the response.
Atlantis, for me, was going to PCA(Pokerstars Carribean Adventure) and checking it off my bucket list. I know resort fees at Atlantis are 50/day, which is fine.
Yea the resort fees, regardless how you get the card, for diamond are huge. I know 5 days max, then must go some other property for 2 days then can comeback for 5 days.
40/day is money I'll definitely be gambling or whatever. The line cutting perks is huge. Especially for hotel check in/checkout...also for poker(you go to top of list, unless a 7 stars comes & you cut the existing list..sucks being in the other end of it, but seems worth it).
Thanks for the response...last question.
You get the founderscard , after applying and paying etc..
You just go to a total rewards desk and show them FC?
Sorry I am a noob. I feel Like bambi trying to walk on ice over here..lol

Yes, they waive the resort fees for Diamond card holders. As for getting treated like a king I had to laugh. I'm gold in real gambling, platinum through TR Visa and Diamond through FC. I'm getting the same comped rooms and free play I was getting before I became a diamond through FC.
How you're treated is tied into how much you gamble and nothing else. Now that lounge entry is based on your TR score, the only benefit anymore to base Diamond is the waived resort fees and line cutting, I guess Diamond check in is a benefit, but the regular line never bothered me that much.

Referral code
Hi all,
This thread has been very useful.
I'm thinking about getting FC for the Diamond status. Anyone has a code for $295 or does not exist now? Any ideas re the two people sign up under one payment?
Also, curious what people get when other people sign up with their code.
Thanks!
Hen

Also, two people can definitely sign up under the same payment, though I believe your best bet is looking into a "companion card" where you essentially get two memberships under the same account. After you sign up, you can add a companion to your card for a one time fee. Though a better way would be upgrading your card to "FC Elite" which includes several benefits, one of which is a free companion membership. founderscard.com/pages/elite_upgrade
If you sign up with our code, we get 20,000 points towards different rewards, An example would be 100,000 points gets you a free year of membership. founderscard.com/rewards has the different rewards listed.
If you are looking for a referal, either the 1 year at $395 or two years at $295 let me know. I'll gift you 5,000 Caesars credits as a thank you upon a successful referral.
