Status Match Merry Go Round

Normally, in January I post that, if you are on the Status Match Merry Go Round, it’s time to match your Caesars Diamond status back to Wyndham Diamond. That’s because Wyndham resets January 1st, while Caesars resets February 1st.

This year, it’s unnecessary for most of us. Wyndham extended status for another year due to the pandemic, so there’s nothing to match back. You should still be Diamond.

But it’s still worth double checking. So login to your Wyndham account and make sure you are still Diamond. If for any reason you are not, you can rematch from Caesars.

As I wrote last month, I suspect you will need your Wyndham status to match back to Caesars come February 1st, as it seems that Caesars may not be extending matched statuses.

(Note on the above chart: That match to Wyndham is still on pause. As well, MLife now resets Jan 1st, though they extended status. It will be time for a new flow chart post-COVID!)

New to all of this? My “introduction to miles and points” book, MilesTalk: Live Your Wildest Travel Dreams Using Miles and Points is available on Amazon and at major booksellers.

I got "in the game" in 2003 and since then I've collected literally millions and millions of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. I've flown around the world in first class seats that would cost $29,000 using frequent flyer miles and a few bucks in tax. And I've stayed in some of the finest hotels - all for free! A few years ago I realized many of my friends actually thought I was paying for these!! So I started sharing my tips. It's long been a passion, but when I hosted a session on Miles and Points at the South by Southwest festival, my love of the game intensified and this blog was born.
