Woa serious hack, I stopped the video after you said Hilton gold status matching then was sad to find out Wyndham is on paused for that route. Then I played the video again and got the alternative hack! Nice Nice! Liking and subscribing for that serious play!
I didn't know early check in was a perk. I go to Vegas quite often and for the times I arrive early I check in and never had a problem. Earliest I have check in at the Delano was 12 pm. I normally stay at MGM properties.
Hi. Question on the hotel credits. If I am planning on doing a solo trip, if I can I use the breakfast credit twice in the same day (like one at 7am and 11am. Just as an example). Or do they see how many parties are dining in?
Great question! I don't see why it would change, as all documentation seems to indicate 2 no matter what! Although with Amex customer service being so good, I would give them a quick live chat to check!
How did you get the credit to apply for the Rubachon dinner since it was at MGM and not the hotel you were staying at? Do they still let you charge it to your room over at Bellagio since theyre both in the MGM chain?
Did you have to status match from Wyndham to Ceasars in person? I tried doing it thru the Ceasars app and it kept telling me it was approved and would take 5-7 business days but it never actually upgraded me it’s been over a month and I’m going to Vegas next week
@@KevinYang yea I was diamond plus last year but didn’t play enough so I wanted to use status match to get to diamond to save on resort fees but it looks like ima have to do it in person
Unfortunately it's not available right now (Wyndham has it paused). There's also recently some notice that Caesars is stopping "un-earned" statuses too.. :/
We are changing 3 different hotels in 5 days LOL but thank you for this video super helpful!
Haha nice! Definitely getting some insane value then!

Thanks so much for breaking this down -s haring the cheat codes!
Thank you for breaking this down, Kevin! Much appreciated!!!
Thank you for watching!
im about to the the exact same but for just 1 night. FHR
and i came across your video. subbed!
Have an amazing stay!
new to platinum but I believe caesars no longer matches for hilton match
Hey thanks for the video. How do you check if you have the celebration dinner? I have Ceasars 💎 but I don't see it on the app.
I had to check it at the physical Caesars location, unfortunately. They specify that it's not in the app.
@@KevinYang thank you very much
Quick question, didn't you use the same $200 for calculating your effective AF for the Platinum card?

Thank you for the info! So for both breakfast credit and experience credit - do you need to bill to room to redeem? Or just pay with Amex Plat card?
Both of those I billed to the room (I asked the front desk when I checked in to double check)!
How did you get the credit to apply for the Rubachon dinner since it was at MGM and not the hotel you were staying at? Do they still let you charge it to your room over at Bellagio since theyre both in the MGM chain?
The credit actually worked at most MGM property restaurants!
Can you use the Experience Credit / Food and Beverage Credit independently or only with a FHR Hotel booking ?
unfortunately only when booking with FHR
@@KevinYang and then charge the bill to the room .. I get it. I just kind of sounded like you went to a restaurant outside the property ...
@@tobyreal6647 Oh unless you meant the Caesars credit for $100 dinner. That one you *can* use even without staying at Caesars
Is this the American Amex platinum or the Canadian Amex platinum works too

Hmm interesting.. that match I was able to do online. The only match that I needed to do in person was the M Life one from Caesars Diamond -> M Life

@@JDBARRERA55 Oh that's interesting.. good data point! Let us know how that goes!
Does Status match go away ?

What is FHR?
Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts!
No hacks. 🙄. Very misleading. Garbage.
Do you have hacks you'd like to share? We're all constantly learning so would be awesome!
