Earning Elite Qualifying Tier Credits
Caesars Rewards has two different types of points that members can earn through specified activities: Rewards Credits and Tier Credits. Tier Credits are used to determine your elite status with Caesars.
Tier Credits are status credits earned in a calendar year (January 1 through December 31) that are added up to determine a members annual Tier Score which determines the member’s elite status (known as Tier Status within Caesars Rewards). The more Tier Credits you earn, the better status and benefits you’ll get. Rewards Credits are redeemable points that can be used for things like free nights, merchandise and free play. You can earn Reward Credits through both casino play and other qualifying activity including entertainment activities at Caesars Rewards destinations and through Caesars Rewards Partners.
How to Earn Tier Credits
- Gambling: Varies based on the specific type of gaming. Earning Details for each activity can befound here.
- Hotel Stays: Earn 5 Tier Credits for every $1 spent on hotel room rates and resort fees when reserved directly with Caesars.
- Entertainment Activities: Earn 1 Tier Credit for every $1 spent on things like shows, restaurants and shopping. Check out the official “Earnings page” to see exactly which locations and activities earn credits.
- Referrals: Earn 500 Tier Credits for each friend who signs up and picks up their membership card. (Your friend earns 500 credits as well.)
- Tier Credit Bonuses: If you earn a certain number of Tier Credits in one day, you’ll receive a specified bonus based on the following chart. (People often refer to this incentive as “Diamond in a Day.”)

Redeem Rewards Credits for Max Value
Most of the Reward Credit redemption options are pretty weak but there are a few bright spots that will give you plenty of value. Credits are normally worth 1 cent a piece so if you redeem 100 Rewards Credits it’ll come out to $1. It’s very hard to be excited about this program if you think back to the 1 credit earned per $1 spend for activities like entertainment and hotel stays. Luckily the Wyndham Partnership presents opportunities to earn at least 10x the rewards on many of the same activities and gives members of both programs the ability to redeem them at a much better valuation.
5 Easy Ways to Get Hotel Elite Status
Leveraging Wyndham Rewards Partnership Benefits
Wyndham Rewards members earn the greater of 10 points per $1 or 1,000 points on qualifying staysat Caesars (basically those booked directly with Wyndham that have a $25 min room rate). Wyndham members can also redeem points for free nights at over 30 Caesars destinations. Earning with Wyndham for Caesars stays is generally the more lucrative option for most travelers. The exception would be for people who get comped rooms or tend to stay at the cheapest Caesars properties. To illustrate this point, there are many Caesars hotels that cost $20 or less on certain nights, so those stays are ineligible to earn Wyndham Points.
The great thing about this partnership is that it allows both program’s members to transfer points between programs at a 1:1 ratio to redeem in any way they wish. This works out as a double dip opportunity for anyone paying an eligible room rate at Caesars properties since they can earn Wyndham rewards points and 5x Caesars Tier Credits. If you recall, Caesars Rewards members get one free night in Vegas or Atlantic City for every 5,000 Tier credits they earn.
The ability to transfer points between programs allows members to maximize the redemption value of their points by opportunistically redeeming points at the right time, in the right program.
Other Available Redemption Options for Caesars Rewards Points: (Certain venues require different redemption ratios, details here.)
- Event ticket purchases: 250 RCs = $1
- Reward Credits used for dining at participating outlets are at a 1:1 ratio.
- Gift Cards and In-room movies are redeemed at a 2:1 ratio.
- Matched status with Caesars UK and the ability to transfer credits back and forth between programs
- Caesars Entertainment properties: 100 RCs = $1 (can be used towards your hotel bill at the time of checkout, as long as your Caesars Rewards account number is attached to the reservation at check-in.)
- Gaming Vouchers and Free Play: 200 RC’s = $1
- For items in the Caesars Rewards eCatalog
Final Thoughts
The Caesars Rewards program is a favorite among casino enthusiasts and for good reason. The ability to earn and redeem reward credits in so many different ways makes the program accessible to everyone. There are also plenty of shortcuts to earning status so even non gamers can access elite program benefits. As I mentioned earlier, we're going to do a whole series on how to maximize certain benefits and extract as much value as possible from rewards.
Caesars Rewards Tier Credits Explained
Caesars Rewards, the loyalty program for Caesars casinos and resorts, offers some great benefits, especially for Diamond members. They have two types “currency” in their program: Rewards Credits and Tier Credits.
Rewards Credits
In the world of airline miles, Rewards Credits are your redeemable miles. Rewards credits are redeemable at $1 for every 200 Rewards Credits in free play at slot machines. A better use of points is through “self comps” to pay for hotel spend at a value of $1 for every 100 Rewards Credits.
A redemption option for Diamond members (including those earned through status match) is “buying” access to a Laurel Lounge. While those Diamond members that earn at least 25,000 Tier Credits (see below) gain complimentary access, all other Diamond elites must purchase access for 1,000 Rewards Credits.
Rewards Credits can also be transferred to Wyndham Rewards.
Rewards Credits are earned through gambling and spend.
When playing slots, you earn 1 Reward Credit for every $5 bet. Earning rates at table games are less transparent.
When spending on hotels and restaurants, you earn 1 Reward Credit for every $1 spent.
Tier Credits
In the world of airlines miles, Tier Credits are your elite qualifying miles. Tier Credits have no redeemable value. They are only used for tracking your progress towards elite status.
Tier Credits are earned (and reset to zero) each calendar year. They determine your status for the remainder of the year and the full following year. This means that if you earn enough Tier Credits for Diamond status on November 15, 2020, you keep Diamond status through December 31, 2021.
For example, Platinum Status is earned at 5,000 Tier Credits. Diamond Status is earned at 15,000 Tier Credits.
Tier Credits are earned at the same rates as Rewards Credits with one major exception. For every dollar spent on hotel room rates and resort fees, you earn 5 Tier Credits.
When playing slots, you earn 1 Tier Credit for every $5 bet. Earning rates at table games are less transparent. Restaurant spend and other spend earns 1 Tier Credit for every $1 spent.

Additionally, there are Tier Credit bonuses awarded when a certain number of Tier Credits are earned in one day.
- Earn 500 Tier Credits, get a bonus of 125 Tier Credits
- Earn 1,000 Tier Credits, get a bonus of 1,000 Tier Credits
- Earn 2,500 Tier Credits, get a bonus of 5,000 Tier Credits
- Earn 5,000 Tier Credits, get a bonus of 10,000 Tier Credits
Caesars Rewards often run promotions for additional Tier Credits.
Tier Credits = Free Nights
For every 5,000 Tier Credits earned, you get one free night in Las Vegas or Atlantic City that must be used by January 31 of the following calendar year. For example, if you hit your 5,000 Tier Credit mark in December 2020, you will have to redeem your free night for a stay before January 31, 2021.
Scenario
Let’s say you are a Caesars Reward Diamond visiting Las Vegas for two nights at Caesars Palace. The room rate is $100 + taxes per night. You don’t pay resort fees as a Diamond.
Over the course of gambling during one day, you “coin in” $5,000 in slots.
Total Rewards Diamond
You spend $100 at restaurants in the hotel.

In this case, you earn the following rewards:
Caesars Tier Levels
- Reward Credits: 200 (1 = $1 hotel rate) + 1,000 (1 = $5 slots) + 100 (1 = $1 restaurants) = 1,300 Reward Credits
- Tier Credits: 1,000 (5 = $1 hotel rate) + 1,000 (1 = $5 slots) + 1,000 (Tier Credit daily bonus) + 100 (1 = $1 restaurants) = 3,100 Tier Credits
