Tier Status Upgrade is back!

Present your valid , eligible VIP loyalty card from select competitors to any Total Rewards Center between February 1 - December 31, 2019, and we will upgrade you to Diamond status through January 31, 2020.

Does anyone know off-hand what the Vid Poker coin-in would be per point at M-Life in Vegas ?

Looks like you have to wait until Feb 1st to do this. Assume they are waiting until current year expires. Also noted in the rules if you did this in 2018 you are not eligible.

I feel bad, Stations not included.

I did this in 2017. Eligible or not?

I also wonder if since Inhad an upgrade through founders last year if that will screw me.

Their site also says it takes up to 30 days for the tier to match. Does anyone have experience from past years, is it really not instant?

I’m in the same situation. No clue if this means if you did it in 17, but benefited in 18 you are out.

The problem I had two years ago was making sure resort fees were waived. A host usually was what it would take. Obviously have not stayed there in calendar 2018, so after Feb1, I’ll give it a shot.

I am thinking about flying out in Feb for 1 day to do this. I can either drive to AC which is 6 hours and pay $50 in tolls each way or I can fly to vegas in 4 hours for $60 each way on spirit. Can leave Friday night after work and fly home on red eye on Saturday night. Would cost $120 plus Uber's so it would probably cost me $200 to do it. But if it is an instant upgrade where I can get a show and no resort fee on that 1 night comped then I am fine with it.

I will be in AC in July but I worry that the match may be over or stopped. 7 nights in July and 6 nights in Oct would save me almost 500 in resort fees.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Click on the LINK in the first post to read the details. Caveat Emptor.

The Link (not Linq) says:

"It may take up to 30 days to process your upgrade request"

And it won’t get you in the DL’s for free because of the 25K point requirement. Limited benefits for many but may help as others do Tier Matches with FP over the course of the year.
