To follow up, we reached out to Caesars on your behalf to inquire on your status and they let us know that you've been successfully re-elevated to Diamond status already! It seems to have been an internal error that they've since resolved.

so back to Diamond
if anyone else has this problem please just reach out to Founders Club Customer Service
They got my situation handled in a most Professional way in 24 hours time
Thanks
ciao

Good info. thanks for the update. I hit Diamond normally in 2017 thanks to a last minute 5K tier bonus that was added to my account so I am good through all of 2018 but my founders membership expires around July 18 so when it expires I wonder if there will be some error downgrading my Diamond even though I earned it through 2018.

The $295 AF isn't available anymore (with 2 years prepayment), is it?
I would say it is worth if it you visit Vegas twice a year. OR if you plan to visit other CET properties throughout the year due to the comp'd rooms at almost all properties and waived resort fees etc. I stayed at Lake Tahoe for example due to comp'd nights with Diamond and of course Vegas and a few other CET locations throughout the year.
It's 1K RCs to enter DL (10dollar value of RCs) but I also was lucky to earn free DL access throughout 2018 so I dont need to worry about that until 2019

If I've already paid for nights in vegas through a 3rd party website (including resort fees), and I get the FC now (April), will I be able to request a refund of said resort fees at the hotel (later in July)?

Yes they will waive your resort fees when you check in if you are diamond.

I received this email today

"As of March 31, 2018 your Tier Score® did not surpass the target of 6,000 to continue qualifying you for complimentary Diamond Lounge access. As a part of your Diamond benefits you will still have paid access to the Diamond lounge. You can continue to enjoy unlimited complimentary Diamond Lounge access by reaching a Tier Score of 25,000.*"

Does anyone has any idea of how much will be the paid access fees for DL in Vegas ?

No, I mean - I have already paid <Booking.com> for a reservation including resort fees (~$30 per night). After getting FC, I'm not looking for a waiver, but will the hotel actually refund/credit me back the resort fees that I have already paid to <Booking.com>?

Since the room cost and fee were paid to a third party, I can't see the hotel refunding anything. Next time you book though the CET website, the resort fees will be waived.

Correct 1k to enter DL for Diamonds unless you qualified for complimentary entry.

You Could try to rebook at a different site that doesn't auto include the resort fees in the price. Like hotels.com or CET website where they will be able to waive the resort fee upon checkout as long as you Diamond upgraded in time.

Hi all, this is a great thread with a lot of good info regarding Diamond Status. Do you think with the TR Visa card, it is achievable to hit Diamond or is it better to go via FoundersCard? This is for someone with 0 status.

The TR Visa does not award tier credits, so you definitely cannot achieve Diamond status this way. You can get VIP status in Vegas by spending $10k on the card. The VIP status gives you some of the same benefits of Diamond, but not some of the key benefits like waived resort fees, $100 celebration dinner, 2 free show tickets per month and Diamond Lounge access.

Thanks! That makes sense. And I didn't realize that FoundersCard is not a credit card until recently.

Previously they have sent out to current TR Visa holders "spend 3k or spend 5k within 3 months and get upgraded to Diamond status". But no guarantee that they would offer that ever again. So best shot is just Founderscard.
