I renewed (or more accurately, bought) my diamond level using the "fast track" 1800 pts at Harrah's LV in January - LV.
Also...
I earned about right around 3,400 base RCs. I later received a mailer with a $31 check (about .09%, yahoo!) and 3 $50 cash coupons, that each required me to earn 75 pts ($750 coin-in). So, based on about $36.25k total coin-in ($34k original coin in + play reqd for the cash coupons), I received a total of $181, for a rate of about .5% overall. The check and coupons were redeemable at LV, Laughlin or Rio.
How limiting my play to just enough to redeem the coupons will affect the next mailing, I don't know, (but I doubt it will have a good effect).
Best Harrah's plan for locals is to just avoid them, I guess, but the second best plan is play at Laughlin, redeem at LV. Actually, if one likes the free tournaments (it seems like a couple a month at least), plan two may be best.
Thanks,

Has anyone that is already a Diamond card holder used the "fast track" 1800 points at Harrah to renew their membership for the following year? Or is 1800 points only good for first time Diamond members?
