MisterPicture,
Haven't heard about the deal with getting the Wyndham Business Earner card and Diamond with Caesars. Does Caesars Diamond continue the next year even if credit card use is low?

Just having the Wyndham card gives you diamond at both Wyndham and a match with Caesars. You just need to ask Caesars to match each year. No use of card required. There is currently an annual fee of $95 for the Wyndam card.

Nice, thanks for the details.

Sorry. I don't like ripoffs even if I can take advantage of them. Ultimately, it hurts all of us.
One reason why borrowing money--in all its iterations--is so expensive is that banks/shareholders/investors have been conditioned to expect huge returns. Usury laws were created to stop lenders from exploiting desperate/idiotic people. So the people with the money bags shifted to charging huge fees that weren't technically "interest."
The casinos started charging for shit that should be free and then dangled "privileges" that you could "earn" to get that shit without paying for it. It's felt to me like they beat you senseless whenever you walk in the front door, but if you blow $500,000, you get "Beating Exempt" status. So I suppose that the credit card lenders climbing into bed with the casinos makes sense.
Idiots are indeed profitable in the short run.
So Kevin, back in the day when lots of players would always take insurance and even split tens, you never took advantage of 3/2 blackjack with favorable rules and deep penetration because those other ignorant players were being ripped off? No, I don't believe you.

The ignorant players had an easy remedy--play better. I had no obligation to play poorly.

Of course, that's what they're hoping, so they can impose a 4000% APR interest payment, plus service fee, plus late fee, plus late fee on the service fee, plus service fee on the late fee, plus a just-cause-we-can fee, plus a you-won't-notice-this-fee fee.
Nothing like America's banks! Pay 0.6% on savings deposits and charge 18% on credit card balances. If I did that, they'd haul me away for fraud.
The ignorant credit card user had an easy remedy--pay no interest. I have no obligation to pay interest.
I haven't paid interest on a credit card in over 20 years. I use them to get whatever points or cash back there is to the card, and pay off every month. It takes discipline, and luck not to have an unexpected expense that I can't cover.

I too have not paid any interest on my cards for many, many years- I have ALL of them on auto pay. Simple to set up and is a no brainer.
