FoundersCard used to offer Diamond status with Caesars Rewards, but that opportunity ended 6 weeks ago in what appeared to be a premature Ides of March situation.
Thankfully it seems to have only been a temporary disruption to normally scheduled service because reader Jay has shared that Diamond status is back among the list of benefits of FoundersCard.
The Deal
- Get Caesars Rewards Diamond status with FoundersCard.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Complimentary status valid through January 31, 2025.
- Upgrade takes up to five weeks for processing, and cannot be expedited.
Quick Thoughts
Diamond status with Caesars can be a very useful benefit to have thanks to it offering waived resort fees, complimentary parking and more. It’s also a great on-ramp to the status match opportunities with other casino programs that can get you all kinds of free cruises.
Something important to note is that the small print with FoundersCard states that it can take up to five weeks for your status upgrade request to be processed and that it can’t be expedited. I’m not sure if that lengthy timeline is something that should be expected or if they’re just trying to manage expectations and that in reality it’ll get processed more quickly. However, if you’re planning a trip to Vegas in the next five weeks, I’d manage my expectations accordingly and wouldn’t count on Diamond status showing up in time.

It’s worth noting that the fine print says the Celebration Dinner must be earned by getting 100 Tier Credits.
Why even cover Founderscard? It’s a mostly useless, overpriced garbage
Because there are some benefits – such as Caesars Diamond status – that can potentially be very valuable.
But why spend $600 on this when you can get Caesars for $100 through wyndham?
1) While that’s certainly the easiest route to Diamond status (in theory), some people applying for the Wyndham Business card have a very hard time getting approved due to the ridiculously comprehensive documentation they sometimes want, not to mention that they only accept the documentation via fax machine. https://frequentmiler.com/two-very-different-experiences-applying-for-the-wyndham-earner-business-card/ That’s all assuming that people will get approved for that card in the first place. I was able to, my wife wasn’t.
2) FoundersCard can provide value in other areas too. 5%-15% discounts on airlines including Delta, United, Alaska, BA, Singapore & more, Hilton Gold status, Virgin Silver status, AWS credits for Elite members, up to $50k in fee-free payments with Stripe, up to $20k fee-free payments with Square, etc.
I’m certainly not saying that everyone should get a FoundersCard membership – I’ve never had one myself. That doesn’t stop it from providing value for people in the right circumstances though which is why we mention it from time to time.
You can’t get the Wyndham card with an ITIN. So that’s relevant to many many people on this blog.
I had the Founders Card for a few years and ultimately found little enduring value . . . for me. And, I would say the same for most hobbyists. But, *some* of the discounts can be of value to *some* business owners.
For some, the Founders Card’s true value can only be appreciated if one also has JetBlue top-tier status and Blade flight vouchers. Greg?
