Hard Rock Atlantic City just sent out an email that the long (and I mean LONG!) awaited day is finally here.

The Hard Rock Atlantic City will change over from it’s Wild Card loyalty to program to the chain-wide Unity program. All accounts you have in either program will be automatically merged (i.e. Mirage Las Vegas).

What this means:

1. If you have been waiting to match to Hard Rock and then to Ocean for your free cruise and two nights in Vegas as described in the master Status Match Merry Go Round article and can possibly get there in the next 3 days (by EOD Jan 8th – GO AND DO IT!)
2. We don’t know the answer to the biggest question – will you be able to “rematch” in the new Unity program (where Caesars Diamond matches to ICON)? Despite tons of misinformation online, I’ve always been very clear that with Unity, you 1,000,000% were able to rematch each and every March (your status ends at the end of February). You only got the match benefits one time, but you could rematch to Rock Royalty yearly.

But it’s rumored that Unity only does once in a lifetime matches. That would be the death knell for the Atlantic City match as no other Status you can get on the Status Match Merry Go Round works to match to Ocean Prime.

Bottom line:

• If you need to match, go by January 8th.
• If you go January 9th on and have already had either Wild Card Rock Royalty or Unity ICON (i.e. from Mirage Las Vegas), please attempt a rematch and let us know right here or in the MilesTalk Facebook group. We need answers ASAP!  

Remember, if you matched either in Atlantic City OR at Mirage, your status ends at the end of February. If you match right now, please let us know the expiration date.

Good luck to us all!
