FoundersCard - Complimentary CET Diamond Status

[sassycat]

My sister-in-law got this Founder's Card last month. She paid $295 for it and gets a 15% discount off of her ATT bill each month. Since she and my brother do not RV any more - she wanted a casino/hotel and really liked Horseshoe Bossier City when we took them over.

They are very low rollers - like $20-40 a day but like perks. She is loving the access to the diamond lounge, no resort fee, free drinks at the Steakhouse, and plus - she gets the $100 celebration dinner. Between the discount on ATT and the $100 celebration dinner - the card pretty much paid for itself.

Sounds like a great deal for your SIL sassy!

I've had a Founders Card for several years now. For my purposes, the AT&T mobile discount alone pays for the annual fee. FC also offer lots of other discounts on travel, various hotels, and some other stuff. If anyone wants an invite link, PM me and I'll send you one.

So you are saying she really is Diamond with CET just for getting the card?

I saw this posted over on Flyertalk. If you apply for the FoundersCard, a membership service for entrepreneurs and people in business (I'm a professional gambler? That work?? LOL), they will upgrade you to Caesars Diamond Status. It does have an annual fee of $395, but may be worth it if you frequent the Diamond Lounge and use the other perks with it. (And match it other properties and get those benefits too). I also read there is an initiation fee. The website is very vague until you get approved it appears.

Thanks for the info. Just applied to see what they offer. Might be worth it.

Yes - Diamond. She had to call several times to FC to expedite but when she went over to the casino - she told them she needed a new card and they gave her a diamond one. They waived the resort fees for her stay too.

I have considered getting the card since CET eliminated no resort fee for Platinum. But I have such a bad taste for CET right now that I am conflicted. I guess I should look at it again. I have never been Diamond, but I am a bit of a Perk Whore - HHH!

I'm interested in the diamond card and att discount I wonder what else kind of benefits this card provides. I tried looking in their site but it seems you have to be a member?

Exactly. I was Diamond for 5 years and I hated paying the resort fees in April. I haven't changed my gambling either, just didn't win enough to recycle enough to hit it last year and this year too.
