My Atlantic City Status Match Adventure — Update: New Casino Tier Match Opportunity and Total Rewards Diamond Fails to Deliver – The Lazy Traveler’s Handbook
I love these casino status match opportunities since they come with free play, free rooms, free tickets, free food etc. Just a lot of free stuff. I have heard of other people complaining about Total Rewards saying it takes 2 weeks for a $100 celebration dinner to populate which I think is new and completely absurd. Remember that you can get these matches started with hotel status via Wyndham or Hyatt.

In February, I was told by the TR staff at Caesars LV that I wasn’t able to use the Celebration Dinner for a few days after the status match from Founders Card. However, they would allow it as a “one-time exception”. My brother was given the two week reply when he tried to redeem his Celebration Dinner via a status match he did from mLife.
It doesn’t make any sense – it should be there as soon as you hit Diamond. But I guess it is something to be aware of for next time.
