My humble advice for new members thinking of getting annual levy, chasing points and card status upgrades, or free hotel stays is...DON'T
When one have annual levy paid, will tend to go more often, max the trips as much as possible to make it worthwhile.
This is what the casinos love, we all know the more trips u make, the higher chance of them taking your money.
The casinos provide perks like "free" hotel room stays or points redemption for a reason, to make you feel less painful with losing your hard earned dollars and justify your sub conscience to go even more.
More often than not, the higher your card status, just shows the more money one have lose to the casinos.
Having said that,If one have lots of money to burn and don't mind contributing to the casinos, who is to say no.Your life, your money, whatever makes you happy
