It is a loyalty program designed to reward the gamers and the foodies that love to visit D&B. The concept is simple, the game chips you play help you earn rewards and status in the program. So, the more games you play the quicker you will move levels throughout our program that earn you rewards, like game chips or food and beverage offers, and tier status benefits. If you love to eat then we reward you for that too. Read below to continue learning about our program & join today!

Only the digital Power Card in the app has the capability to add it to your apple wallet. Click on the “cards” tab, locate your digital Power Card, select “manage”, and click “Add to Apple Wallet”, select add again as the card preview is now appearing in your wallet. You will receive a success message once complete.
If your app is not updated to the latest version, then it could cause your balances to become out of sync. You can avoid this by selecting the toggle button to on in your app, to make sure your information will sync correctly.

- If you run into either issue, it is best to contact our Guest Relations team at 888-300-1515 for assistance.
