What’s the reason for getting Caesar’s visa card

Hoben02 · ‎01-21-2022

So I posted about my spur of the moment story for getting the Caesar's reward visa even though I really had no desire for the card and right now I'm trying to decide if it's worth completing the sign up bonus:

from what I can tell doesn't look like I got better room rates then at mlife properties, but I go for prices around excalibur

yeah, I get 10k points really only good for Caesar's properties

i cannot see myself spending 5k annually to keep platinum

is there something I'm missing by the way I'm a low roller who frequents bubble craps

You can status match with your Wyndham rewards membership, if in Las Vegas you get access to VIP lines, more rewards points back on rooms at Caesars properties.

Given your comments about your gambling-related spending habits and not having significant brand loyalty toward Caesars I don't see a compelling reason either as to why you'd go out of your way to earn the SUB.

You wouldn't be the first person to apply and be approved for a card only to later circle back and think "Why did I bother?". In the grand scheme, not a big deal.

If you use it for daily driver and spend enough you can achieve the higher levels and they will comp you as if you are a gambler and you can also use the elevated status to achieve higher statuses at other casino companies . Very useful if you live near a Caesars property it's very useful .

Since you have the card anyway, you might as well get the sub. You can use the points for food and drinks at various locations on the Caesar's properties. If you don't want to use them right away, all you need to do is show usage on the card at least once every six months and the points won't expire.

While I have no idea what "10,000 Reward Credits" means or is worth (thus why I only like cash back), if you think you'll benefit from them, I would echo what others have said - at least finish off the $750 spend in 3 months for this intro bonus. Then you can retire the card if you think it won't bring you future benefit.
