#1 Your thinking about base/bonus/RC's/tier score is correct.
#2 Someone who is currently playing at Horseshoe Hammond can probably answer this. I think they have some sort of cashback program but I don't know the details.
#3 No, you don't get extra bonus points just for being at a certain tier unless they have a specific promo going on.
#4 Yes, you can use your Reward Credits for shows, meals, rooms and just about everything else they offer.

My understanding is that base credits and bonus credits spend exactly the same, but only base counts towards tiers of the program. So I get to spend 100 credits, but I don't consume base credits they are just a running tally on my tier score. Is that accurate?

Let's say I wagered $4500 on VP there. I should earn 450 base credits which equal $4.50 comp dollars AND $1 in cash back?

Can I use these on a 1-1 ratio to pay for rooms and meals and caesars properties? What types of other things could I spend them on? Do they work for shows?
