As MGM and its MGM Rewards program evolves its ongoing tier match opportunity, Caesars appears to have settled into its current format too, as the 2023 edition does not appear to have changed from what was in place for 2021 or 2022. The tier matching page and its rules are updated for 2023, and able to be reviewed, on its website.
For those new to the tier matching program and how it works, Caesars allows new Caesars Rewards members to tier match if they have a card from a participating casino. The list covers many, but not all, competitors near their various properties and their higher level cards.
When you tier match, you receive Caesars Rewards Diamond level, which offers such perks as 20% discounts in gift shops and waived resort fees, helpful perks in cutting down costs while staying at Caesars properties.
Depending on what time of year you tier match, the amount of tier credits you need to earn to renew Diamond for the following year reduces proportionally. So if you tier match in July, for instance, you only need to earn 7,500 tier credits, half of what is required if you had the normal full year. So they do try to be fair about how to maintain your status from there. Paired with the bonus tier credits you earn for daily play, it can be quite achievable.
The new member only rule was implemented in 2020, and the list was expanded with Eldorado properties by 2021, and things have stayed pretty much stable since.
For those hoping to leverage the Wyndham loophole as an existing member, that was shut down last year, although those who did match before the rule change were given one additional year before it took effect. So at this point only new members and those who outright earned Wyndham Diamond status can match.
