Frequent Miler's latest team challenge, Million Mile Madness, is happening now! Follow us as Greg, Nick, and Stephen compete to earn 1 Million SAS miles by flying 15 airlines before November 23rd. Who will complete the challenge with the most Speed, Affordability, and Style?
If you’re a Wyndham Diamond member by virtue of being a Wyndham Business Earner cardholder, it’s time to match your Wyndham status back to Caesars Rewards. That’s because, if you previously had Diamond status with Caesars, on February 1 it dropped down to Gold.
Caesars Diamond Status can be quite valuable. Caesars Rewards members with Diamond status have resort fees waived, get a $100 Celebration Dinner and more, so having that status can save you a lot of money when visiting Las Vegas. You can find the full list of Caesars Diamond benefits here.
Note that it’s no longer possible to match back to Caesars Diamond if you received your Wyndham Diamond status via the now-departed status match merry-go-round. You can only match if your status comes from organic stays or from being a credit cardholder.
How to Match Wyndham Diamond to Caesar’s Diamond
The process is simple and straightforward. Log in to your Caesars account, go to this page and select Wyndham Rewards.
Enter your Wyndham Rewards account number on the next page, click ‘Request Status Match’ and voila – you’re all done.
As noted in the screenshot above, it can take up to seven business days for your Caesars Rewards status to be bumped back up to Diamond, so it’s worth submitting the status match now rather than waiting until just before a trip to Vegas.
Quick Thoughts
Wyndham sadly stopped offering status matches from other hotel programs early on in the pandemic and that opportunity still hasn’t returned. This partnership with Caesars Rewards is separate to that kind of status match though.
If you missed out on the opportunity to match to Wyndham Rewards Diamond status from other hotel programs a couple of years ago, there’s still a way to get Diamond status without staying the requisite 24 nights via stays. The Wyndham Rewards Earner Business card comes with Diamond status which can enable you to match with Caesars Rewards.

@stephen don’t think I’ve seen this posted but it appears Caesars is doing some new rules on the celebration dinner. They now require you to earn 100 tier pts after you get the card (easy) then I learned that they only process those dinner credits once a week (typically tuesdays) so don’t expect to get and use it on the same trip unless able to hit that timing. If your unlucky like me you’ll arrive on Tues clear 1k pts and then get told you missed the cutoff that day anyway so it’ll be next week.
Note the FB dinner is instant.
I just matched to Caesars Diamond status using Wyndham Business earner card.
How long did it take
it has been a while, but I would say about 10 days. It might happen sooner now, as I suspect most people have now completed the status match.
K my match in Feb never happened and I got no response ever, it wasn’t qualifying status so whatever tried again with earner card diamond now just waiting but my Vegas trip is Fast approaching
good luck. you need the diamond status for waived resort fees and $100 celebration dinner. I use my diamond status perks at the Horseshoe in Shreveport, Louisiana.
My transfer of 10,000 Wyndham points to Caesars has now shown. What can I do with 10,000 Caesars reward points? $100 dining credit? If I am correct on dining credit how do I claim the $100 dining credit?
Now saying 2 weeks — “Thank you. Please allow up to 2 weeks for your Caesars Rewards status to be updated. Return to My Rewards dashboard“
I submitted the form on Feb 2 to re-match my Earners Business card diamond status. Nothing so far.
I submitted the match form on Feb 1, and hadn’t seen any movement, so I chatted with a Wyndham agent today, and was told the following:
“We are currently undergoing some system maintenance and the status match option is temporarily unavailable. We hope to have this option back online by early March.”
This is disappointing, as I have a trip to Vegas planned for mid February.
False alarm- they apparently didn’t know what they were talking about. My match went through on the 9th!
With Caesar’s tier updates you have to allow time for the receiving 9600 baud modem (“fast iron”) to download it to the IBM XT so that it can be transferred to a 5 1/4″ floppy, moved to the fully modern 386 machine, transferred to the now current 3.5″ media and walked cross-property to that weird dude with pizza stains on his t-shirt that operates the AS400.
@Stephen – Do you think this will work: I matched my Hilton Diamond to Wyndham Diamond in Dec – and am now trying to parlay that via the above to get Ceasars Diamond. It let me submit and said “1-2 weeks processing” or something like that so not sure what to expect but figured it was worth a shot.
Not part of the “marry-go-round” but if it works this could help others.
I doubt it’ll work as that was part of the past merry-go-round. Caesars is saying they won’t match from Wyndham Diamond that was matched from elsewhere which is what you’ve done by matching from Diamond.
Having said that, it does absolutely no harm giving it a try though! The worst that’ll happen is that they won’t match you – the best is that you get someone who’s not as familiar with the rules or not paying attention when processing your match and lets it go through.
My thought exactly, guess we’ll know in a few days.
Any idea if they deny and I get the wyndham card do I have to wait again before requesting?
I don’t think you’d necessarily need to wait. I’ve had an issue in the past with getting matched though as I’d originally matched to Caesars after matching to Wyndham. Despite having the Wyndham Business card, they didn’t match me to Caesars Diamond last year; I gave it another try this year, so hopefully it goes through this time. I didn’t follow up with them though as I didn’t have any Vegas visits planned.
Submitted again with earner card diamond wish they would communicate something other than wait a cpl weeks where they don’t say anything if they decide to deny
I tried a few days ago and still Gold. Not holding my breath.
Many thanks for the reminder, especially since I lost the Hyatt/MGM match, this is now my only Vegas status.
thanks for the reminder on how to do this!
I believe that the Wyndham Earner+ card comes with Platinum status. Only the Wyndham Earner Business card came with Diamond status. Am I correct? Or am I wrong?
Correct. Post appears to be in error.
Fixed that – thanks
Fixed? — see end of post.
I missed that I’d also included that at the end too – fixed that as well now, thanks.
I thought its not working anymore unless you earned Wyndham Status or are a Business Card Holder.
“Note that it’s no longer possible to match back to Caesars Diamond if you received your Wyndham Diamond status via the now-departed status match merry-go-round. You can only match if your status comes from organic stays or from being a credit cardholder.“
Thanks for the reminder !
Time to do this again!
Mine was upgraded today the 24th. I had applied in February 25th. Took just one day short of a month. I had earned my Wyndham through stays. Here is what they said when I inquired:
“You must have earned Tier Status with your current loyalty program in order for your status to be matched. Caesars Rewards will not grant status to WR members who came into the WR program from a tier match promotion with other programs or who previously had recent Caesars Rewards status that was about to expire, and vice versa.”
They appear to be more strict as people took advantage of their matching. Also, they don’t appear to be in good financial condition as it was in the news that their property in Vegas is up for sale.
I hope this information is helpful and good luck with yours…
