Yes, that is the case. My initial signup with the Harrah's group was at Harrah's in Joliet, IL back in Sept of 1994. As the years passed, I went to many other Harrahs and got cards using new accounts at each location. When the Harrahs group consolidated the accounts, I would, during a visit to a Harrahs, stop at the slot card desk and ask for a card. Then the person behind the desk would punch into the computer my name and say "Oh, you have several accounts. I will combine them for you!" This happened several times as they would find accounts that prior trips had not noticed and get them all together. So now I am just a "131" account no matter where I go.
