Caesars Rewards Guide

Caesars Rewards is the loyalty program of Caesars Entertainment Corporation a hospitality brand that has over 55 resort and gaming destinations in 4 continents. Despite significant changes over the last few years including a name change (formerly knows as 'Total Rewards') and a change in ownership, the Caesars program remains one of the most heavily utilized and relevant casino programs on the market due to it's sheer size and strategic use of partnerships.

• Unfortunately, long-term financial planning isn't exactly freely offered. If a 401k match is already offered as part of your total rewards package, consider having a financial advisor on deck to help your employees throughout the year. It makes a tremendous personal impact and dispenses valuable knowledge for any individual's future.

Earning Elite Qualifying Tier Credits

Caesars Rewards has two different types of points that members can earn through specified activities: Rewards Credits and Tier Credits. Tier Credits are used to determine your elite status with Caesars.

Tier Credits are status credits earned in a calendar year (January 1 through December 31) that are added up to determine a members annual Tier Score which determines the member's elite status (known as Tier Status within Caesars Rewards). The more Tier Credits you earn, the better status and benefits you'll get. Rewards Credits are redeemable points that can be used for things like free nights, merchandise and free play. You can earn Reward Credits through both casino play and other qualifying activity including entertainment activities at Caesars Rewards destinations and through Caesars Rewards Partners.

How to Earn Tier Credits

• Gambling: Varies based on the specific type of gaming. Earning Details for each activity can befound here.
• Hotel Stays: Earn 5 Tier Credits for every $1 spent on hotel room rates and resort fees when reserved directly with Caesars.
• Entertainment Activities: Earn 1 Tier Credit for every $1 spent on things like shows, restaurants and shopping. Check out the official 'Earnings page' to see exactly which locations and activities earn credits.
• Referrals: Earn 500 Tier Credits for each friend who signs up and picks up their membership card. (Your friend earns 500 credits as well.)
• Tier Credit Bonuses: If you earn a certain number of Tier Credits in one day, you'll receive a specified bonus based on the following chart. (People often refer to this incentive as 'Diamond in a Day.')

Redeem Rewards Credits for Max Value

Most of the Reward Credit redemption options are pretty weak but there are a few bright spots that will give you plenty of value. Credits are normally worth 1 cent a piece so if you redeem 100 Rewards Credits it'll come out to $1. It's very hard to be excited about this program if you think back to the 1 credit earned per $1 spend for activities like entertainment and hotel stays. Luckily the Wyndham Partnership presents opportunities to earn at least 10x the rewards on many of the same activities and gives members of both programs the ability to redeem them at a much better valuation.

5 Easy Ways to Get Hotel Elite Status

Leveraging Wyndham Rewards Partnership Benefits

Wyndham Rewards members earn the greater of 10 points per $1 or 1,000 points on qualifying staysat Caesars (basically those booked directly with Wyndham that have a $25 min room rate). Wyndham members can also redeem points for free nights at over 30 Caesars destinations. Earning with Wyndham for Caesars stays is generally the more lucrative option for most travelers. The exception would be for people who get comped rooms or tend to stay at the cheapest Caesars properties. To illustrate this point, there are many Caesars hotels that cost $20 or less on certain nights, so those stays are ineligible to earn Wyndham Points.

The great thing about this partnership is that it allows both program's members to transfer points between programs at a 1:1 ratio to redeem in any way they wish. This works out as a double dip opportunity for anyone paying an eligible room rate at Caesars properties since they can earn Wyndham rewards points and 5x Caesars Tier Credits. If you recall, Caesars Rewards members get one free night in Vegas or Atlantic City for every 5,000 Tier credits they earn.

The ability to transfer points between programs allows members to maximize the redemption value of their points by opportunistically redeeming points at the right time, in the right program.

The ability to earn and redeem reward credits in so many different ways makes the program accessible to everyone. There are also plenty of shortcuts to earning status so even non gamers can access elite program benefits.
