July 25, 2022September 10, 2015

This past weekend I spent three nights in Vegas in three different Mlife properties — Vdara, Bellagio, and Mandalay Bay.

Mlife VIP Lounge

July 25, 2022July 20, 2015

Mlife VIP Lounge One of the more mysterious benefits of Mlife Platinum or Noir status is access to the Mlife VIP Lounge in certain hotels. The reason I say mysterious is because there is barely a mention of the Mlife VIP Lounge on any of the property websites. I actually found … Read more

Bonus Hyatt Gold Passport Points in Las Vegas

July 25, 2022July 16, 2015

There has been a standing relationship between Hyatt and Mlife resorts in Las Vegas. You can do an elite status match between the two loyalty programs and earn Hyatt Gold Passport points in Las Vegas when staying at an Mlife resort.

Today Hyatt announced a new bonus offer for earning Hyatt Gold Passport points in Las Vegas known as Third Night’s a Charm. If you register at hyatt.com/vegassummer, you will earn bonus points after a three night stay through September 30.

Your room must be booked direct through Hyatt (I was told via a Hyatt rep on Twitter that bookings through Mlife don’t count). Expedia or another OTA won’t work. You also can’t book a room with points. Cash + Point reservations are only at Hyatt properties so those are also not eligible.

Daily Getaways Valuation

July 25, 2022March 17, 2015

The US Travel Association is once again running its Daily Getaways promotion. Beginning March 23 there will be a different offer for a limited time each day. An interesting change this: there is NO added discount for using an Amex card. You can find discounts on rental cars, hotels, and theme parks. Only the first three weeks’ offers have been posted as of this post.

Likely the most popular offers will be for the hotel stays that, for the most part, come in the form of loyalty points. Below I have created a grid that shows the cost per point for each of the hotel point offers.
