You are also going to get a new Caesars credit card! Plus you get to keep the Platinum status for 60 days! I told her I couldn't care less about Platinum status, my worth isn't decided by my card color (slot losses). She acted like she never heard of someone not wanting to be Platinum. Found the whole experience very annoying.
I bet you got the same lady at the Paris TR desk who was unbelievably rude when I went there during our first stay. Almost ruined me for ever staying/playing at Paris again.
It was a very unpleasant experience, to make a long story short. But, after I cooled down and went back later, they (not her) were very nice.
Thanks for the alert about that sales pitch, though.
CET used to be famous for unfailingly friendly personnel. Not as much these days, off and on.
Programs like that, they probably get a commission for each one they sell, thus the unhappiness when you didn't sign up.
