Everything You Wanted To Know About Total Rewards Free Atlantis Stay (Updated For 2019)

We’ve updated this post for 2019 as they have made some significant updates. For example the fine print does now state casino play is required ‘If you accept this offer and do not show any rated casino play, the Atlantis may charge you for some or all of your upfront complimentaries including rooms, food & drink, limos, etc.’. According to recent comments this hasn’t actually been enforced but it’s worth considering. Some other changes have been made as well (e.g off peak for Platinum now comes with $25 in slot play instead of a Casino pass)

For example Platinum members now get three free nights instead of just two and you no longer have to pay room taxes. There are also different tiers (e.g diamond 40k/80k and seven stars 150k and 500k) In addition they now have different offers depending if you stay during peak or off peak season.

One of the benefits of having Total Rewards Diamond and Seven Star status is that you can enjoy one complimentary stay at the Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas resort.

How To Become Eligible

There are a few ways to easily get Platinum status without spending huge amounts with Total Rewards.

  1. Total Rewards Visa Card comes with Platinum status after first purchase in the first year and you maintain it when you spend $5,000+ in subsequent years
  2. Barclaycard Wyndham $75 annual fee card gives you Wyndham Platinum status. You can match this to Total Rewards Platinum status.
  3. Veterans and active duty military members receive Platinum status.

F.A.Q

Can you use the benefit yearly or only once?

Update: You can basically do the benefit once yearly. They might not offer it again in 2020 but if they do you should still be eligible.

My understanding is that this benefit can only be used once. The wording reads: ‘Since Total Rewards members can book ONE Atlantis package through January 31, 2018, wait to reserve if you think you might qualify for a higher package level later in the year!’ I guess if/when they extend the promotion for 2018 you might be able to do it again?

Is there any casino spend necessary?

The fine print now requires casino spend. Stating “If you accept this offer and do not show any rated casino play, the Atlantis may charge you for some or all of your upfront complimentaries including rooms, food & drink, limos, etc.”

How Much Are The Fees?

Update: As of 2018 it looks like the room charges are now waived as part of this offer. Looks like you’ll still need to pay the resort fee and gratuity though.

According to this post on DEM Flyers you need to pay the VAT on the room rate and resort fees and there is a mandatory gratuity. Break down of fees is as follows:

  • $6.99 (room charge) + $4.88 (VAT) [No longer charged?]
  • Gratuity ($5 per person)
  • $3.74 (resort fee VAT)

For a total of $15.61 per night plus an additional $5 per person per night. You also have to pay the resort fee of $49.95, this includes the following:

  • Wi-Fi in guest rooms and lobby areas for up four (4) devices
  • Access to Aquaventure, a one-of-a-kind 141 acre waterscape
  • Access to the Fitness Center:  Up to 2 persons per day per room
  • Fitness center access entitles guests to complimentary use of the cardio studio, universal and free weights only.  Tennis, fitness classes and personal training sessions are not included.
  • Two (2) 12 oz. bottles of water daily per room.
  • Unlimited local phone calls
  • Access to the Atlantis Movie Theater
  • Resort Shuttle Service
  • In-Room Coffee and Tea
  • Casino Lessons

What’s It Like?

I have no idea, I have never been. I’d recommend reading this post by DEM Flyers. Food seems expensive.

Can you combine two bookings into one?

According to this comment you can.

Can I get this deal if I status matched/have zero tier credits?

Seems to be YMMV. For example:

  • Successful: 1,
  • Not successful: 1,

Our Verdict

As mentioned the DEM Flyers post on this is really fantastic. Personally I don’t really think this benefit is that valuable and I doubt I’d ever actually use it. Complimentary is deceptive when you start adding up all the fees and the high price of food in general.
