I posted this in another forum, but in case you missed the news...the below is a response I received to rumors I'd read on message boards about CET increasing their tier level requirements.
Dear Ms. ****,
Thank you for writing, and following your last e-mail I contacted my Las Vegas contacts with these same questions. While we are still waiting for the "official" announcements I did learn the 2013 Tiers (based on 2012 play) is unchanged. We expect to see messages to guests going out this month. Beginning with the 2014 Tiers (which begin earning January 1st, 2013), there will several changes to the Tier system.
An exciting change is the ability to earn "Bonus Tier" every day, which will help earn Tiers faster!
If 500+ Tier is earned in a single gaming day, guests will receive a bonus of +125 Tier.
If 1000+ Tier is earned in a single gaming day, guests will receive a bonus of +1000 Tier!
If 2,500+ Tier is earned in a single gaming day, guests will receive a bonus of +5000 Tier!!
These bonuses apply to Tier only and will not change Reward Credits earned. Only one bonus per gaming day.
Tier Credit bonuses do not count toward Reward Credit Multipliers and other Earn & Get Promotions.
Since guests will earn Tier Credit bonuses based on their daily play, allowing guests to earn Tier Credits faster, we have increased the number of Tier Credits required to achieve each Tier:
Gold (0 – 4,999 Tier Credits)
Platinum (5,000 – 14,999 Tier Credits)
Diamond (15,000 – 149,999 Tier Credits)
Seven Stars (150,000+ Tier Credits to qualify for review/invitation)
There also a change to the "In A Day" criteria.
Guests who earn 5,000 Tier Credits at one property, in one day, will qualify for “Diamond in a Day” which is only valid for the current year. Tier Credit bonuses do not count toward “Diamond in a Day.”
There will no longer be Daily Criteria for Platinum status because guests who earn 2,500 Tier Credits in a day will be awarded an additional 5,000 Tier Credits. This will give them a total of 7,500 Tier Credits, which qualifies them for Platinum!
Since this program will not take effect until the 2014 Tiers are in place, we do not have any information on any Tier Benefit changes at this time.
We trust this information has been helpful, and please let us know if we can be of further assistance. As always, “Good Luck!”
