    I know there was a ton of action in the Diamond Match thread. So I figured I'd share my ongoing 5 year ruse on card matching.

    I have been trading up club cards for half the decade, took hundreds in freebies and was able to match:

    Plaza Ace
    Cosmo Gold
    Mlife Gold
    Borgata Black Label
    Tropicana Platinum
    Downtown Grand Black
    Marquee Producer
    Total Rewards Diamond

    I have had the cycle going since legitimately earning Diamond wayyyy back in 2012. I know some people wait for an opening, like the Diamond Match being posted on here. But you can actually ask or force your way into a match at a bunch of places with a little effort.

    Instead of copying and pasting my ramblings, my rundown of what I did is on my blog. I'd be happy to answer any questions!

    Also, I'm posting this link here exclusively for a week before going live and dropping it in my active folder or posting on other sites. So if anyone wants to get a head start on mass matching before the rest of the interwebs read it, have at it! Link below, as always no advertising and I gain nothing from hits to my site.

    Dude, great post. I've managed to match expired cards also. Dry chicken wings are a huge benefit in Vegas!

    Very interesting. I am not currently a Identity member at Cosmo, which is my mistake because I have been playing there for last 4 trips on CET's dime. This year my plan is to get a card, I am currently a Platinum member at CET, do you think they will match ,though I have been told they are not matching currently? Thanks

    Free is Free! I figured I'd blog about it since most people wait for a promo to happen. I've done fairly well just asking for a match.

    Thank you!

    They actually had a match chart at Cosmo when I did the match. I think it started at Diamond (Total Rewards) & Platinum (Mlife). So Platinum CET & Gold MGM weren't a cross. But it is free to ask, and being a new member (which I find the easiest when asking for an upgrade) might just help. Report back if you are successful!

    They do not currently match tier but if you have legit offers from CET you can get in touch with the poster Cosmo_Slot_vice_president and he might be able to do something for you.

    Yes, Kevin there is pretty awesome. There are some limitations for their offer matches. They usually don't match the standalone resort offers, like Treasure Island. But they usually will work with you.

    Does plaza still match? Don't see it on their website anymore. I stepped in there last trip and liked the new look more than I thought I would.

    What do you think Cosmo would match me with and comp me up front for Tier II Diamond? I'm a lock for 10000 Tier Points a trip without bonuses. And does already having a card their with fairly low play on it hurt this? I realize if they scored me a deal up front I would have to give them some decent play.

    I am a transient gambler which is good for TR but bad for Mlife but it might be worth kicking the tires on Cosmo one time?

    It has been awhile since I was there. But they ran a promotion a couple of years ago for a match. I actually used a host upfront to match levels and a competitors offer before ever setting foot in their casino. For Fremont standards, it is a nice place. As a slot player I got bored fast. Just not much there.

    I confirmed with the Cosmo host the other day and they are not matching at this time. BUT a host can match an offer, from another "real" casino in vegas. Think Wynn, CET, MGM or V/P. They wont give you full value for a Circus Circus, Casino Royale type offer.

    So no card match right now, but certainly an offer match if you are a decent player. I have a wraparound room, a decent chunk of free play and no resort fees there if I take them up on it. And I only have a history of a few walk through low play visits.
