Cosmopolitan Identity Players Club

Posted by: Marc , August 30, 2015

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is one of the most modern casinos and hotels in Las Vegas. Hotel rooms, restaurants, clubs and entertainment are all on the the cutting edge of what’s hot today and what will be hot tomorrow. The same can be said for their players club. Identity, The Cosmo’s players club, acts more like a traditional loyalty club that could be used for any business than just a casino slot club card. This suits their customer’s perfectly as the gaming makes up only a small piece of what people are spending money on.

Unlike some other players club cards, Identity points are rewarded for spending everywhere at the Cosmopolitan. In addition to receiving points when playing slots and video poker in the casino you also receive Identity points from spending on hotel, dining, shopping and the spa. The Cosmo also has a unique partnership with Marriott that you should keep in mind when booking.

Earning Points

The Cosmopolitan recently changed how they reward spending in the casino. They no longer offers points for table game play but you can still ask a pit boss or host for a discretionary comps based on your play. Here’s how you earn Identity points:

Gambling

1 point – $2.50 reel slots
1 point – $6 video poker
Identity points are not earned on table games, sports book and electronic craps machines.

Hotel, Spa, Dining, Shopping

5 points – $1
$5 resort credit – $100 spent

Tier Benefits

Identity has four tiers to its players club. Each tier offers members better rewards than the previous tier. Identity tier benefits increase slowly but appropriately for the Cosmo customer. Their high rollers appreciate the VIP benefits more than customers of other casinos.

When you sign up for Identity you begin at the Silver tier. You’re essentially signing up for their marketing mailing list so benefits are minimal. You see incremental benefits as you climb tiers. Here are the details:

Likewise members of Marriott Rewards can also exchange points into Identity Points. Transferred points do not count towards your Identity tier status.

(editor’s note : We plan on discussing Marriott Rewards at length in a future TravelZork post. In addition to having a conversation about some of the promotions and issues between Marriott and Cosmopolitan with regard to points earning and spending. Another valuable resource is this thread on FlyerTalk and the FlyerTalk Cosmopolitan WIKI, especially for those with Marriott Elite status.)
