For my annual retreat, I had planned to take it to Atlantic City again as it’s a great summer destination. Alas, my terrible host once again told me “no problem, I’ll get it done,” and then didn’t reply for two weeks. So instead, I decided to get max value for the Annual Retreat and that meant New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA). I called the property and spoke to a host who booked me for the next week. NOLA advantages The main
My last Diamond Aspiration II… I suppose it wasn’t all bad news about Total Rewards and Seven Stars this winter. I’d done a fair bit of traveling in 2017, both in the Total Rewards suit of properties and elsewhere, so my 2017 Diamond Aspirations had remained unused when I got the news it would be the last year to include them. I did, however, receive this email: I discovered I could convert my $750 airline credit to 75,000 in Reward
Today I received an email from Total Rewards detailing the 2018 benefits. We want our valuable guests to be the first to hear about the 2018 Seven Stars® benefits!1 Not so valuable anymore… I was not planning to strive for Seven Stars in 2018, but now I may never strive for it again. While the two main benefits of Seven Stars remains, the retreat and the dining folio, the Aspirations are gone and the free play is reduced to $1
Ok, so the main reason is I don’t intend to be in Nevada where I can play WSOP.com as much as the previous years, but that by itself may not have dissuaded me as even in 2017, I was out of the state about three months and will still achieve Seven Stars. Terrible host The host attached to my account is beyond terrible, even to the point I don’t even bother to ask him to book anything. I now call
In taking advantage of my Seven Stars status earned last year mostly through WSOP online poker, I attended the free Seven Stars Signature Experience at Lake Tahoe in June. The event provided me the following: Free 5 nights in Lake Tahoe Free entries to 70k Bingo 7x point multiplier one day Swag 7x Point Multiplier Knowing I would need the additional 15k in tier credits to maintain Seven Stars this year, I used the 7x point multiplier to obtain
I recently visited Atlantic City utilizing my Diamond Aspiration II privilege from Total Rewards. Diamond Aspiration II provides free airfare and 4 nights free stay at any Total Rewards Hotel. I chose Caesar’s Palace on the Atlantic City boardwalk. Atlantic City – A Gambler’s Dream Being a Las Vegas resident and typically being disappointed with any casino outside Las Vegas, I expected Atlantic City to trail Las Vegas in every way, but I was pleased to find Atlantic City surpassing
WSOP.com players and other casino players should be aware of the Diamond Aspirations I vacation available to them through the Total Rewards program. 40,000 points can be reached even by an NL50 grinder, with or without other play in the casinos. The Diamond Aspiration I provides a 4-night stay at a Total Rewards property including a $100 folio credit (anything charged to the room). This article will provide some tips for booking and enjoying this getaway. It is aimed at
A perk of being a Diamond or better member of Total Rewards is a deeply discounted rate at the amazing Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. I afforded myself of this promotion for 2016 and seeing as Total Rewards has renewed it for 2017, I intend to do so again. (Atlantis Total Rewards Promo 2017) Most of my tips for booking still apply, though be aware that all the packages for 2017 are reduced. Seven Stars is no longer virtually free,
updated 10/1/2017 Seven Stars was harder and more costly to reach than I thought it would be, but it became worth it once I discovered that I’d receive the Seven Stars benefits twice. Strangely though, this mechanism of receiving the benefits twice means I’ve already received them for 2017, even though I have not yet earned Seven Stars in 2017. It kinda makes sense that Total Rewards would do it this way as all but the biggest whales would earn
Twice! That’s how many times you get your Seven Stars benefits the first time you achieve the level. You get your $500 dinner celebration twice! You get your Annual Retreat twice! The catch is that it takes a while to receive your Seven Stars membership for the first time and the benefits do not load for another week or so after that.
