I'm very new to CET having only played twice at Harrah's Cherokee. I have a question I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people can help me with. What is the benefit of linking TR cards? (I think this is called adding a companion card?). I go to Cherokee with my adult son. I have comped rooms anytime. He recently got what I assume is a one time teaser offer for free week day nights. We would like separate rooms when we go and will book under individual offers for our next trip. I doubt that in the future he will get any comp offers. If I add his card to my account will that help improve his future offers? What's the companion card/linked card thing all about?

Pretty sure if you link them you would have to be there to use the offer. I'm not sure you could even link the two. I would just leave them separate and if you go together he can add you on that reseveraion but you would not get your own room then. Hopefully it makes sense, generally if you add another person you would be sharing a room. You may be better off playing n his card for him while you are there a bit to lift his aft.
Actually, I don't think CET players' cards can really be linked. When booking a room, you can add another person's TR #. When Penguin and I were both Gold, doing that would sometimes get us a slightly better room rate. We decided to mostly play on my card and once we made Platinum level on it, it made no difference whether or not we included his TR# on the reservation.
I think if you link it you can use each others points like if you go to eat or something.
I'm pretty sure you can't link CET cards.

They used to, in fact at one point we had joint cards of some kind, they they said we could not have that and they issued us both one and linked them somehow with my card as the primary. Her point would transfer to my card, it always seemed a mess. We stopped using her card and just used mine. Things may have changed because we tried to use hers once and my name was on the screen. Whatever they call it, it was not worth the problems.
They don't link CET cards anymore.
To get a companion card - I think you either have to get Diamond Level 2 (80K tier) or 7 stars.
With the companion card - the companion can get in the Diamond Lounge without you, check into the hotel, skip lines, etc but does not get extra offers unless their own play warrants. Also- the companion has his own TR # - not the same as yours.
