M Life Benefits

[BrianF]

I'm not sure if your room expense actually counts....but....I always book through mLife using my account.
Then my room reservation is "tied" to my account. I then charge EVERYTHING to the room (room service, restaurants, drinks at the pool, etc.) All that money spent accumulates points. I'm guessing the room itself doesn't count....but maybe.

So you can charge meals and drinks to your room? Is that only for the stuff in the hotel you're staying at or is that good for all MGM properties?

[Chuck]

Usually if you're staying at Mirage, and eat over at Bellagio, for example, the check will have all of the MGM hotels listed. So you indicate which hotel you're staying at and charge away. This may vary a little, but I've seen it at places I've been.

I know it works among the MGM properties and among the Caesar's properties. When the server brings your check, just tell them you're staying at XXXX and you'd like to charge it to your room. You'll be told if it the place can't do that.

I am curious if the partnership between SBE and M life will result in getting points for buying bottles at Hyde. Chuck, didn't you post something awhile back with details on that?

I enrolled last time when you posted that, but never received anything. Let me know if you do this time please.

Will do...I emailed them to ask if they got my registration.

The ONLY problem I have with M-Life is their website works like one day a week!

[Chuck]

I called mLife the other day to ask about my spending for the meeting I'm planning earning points. I'm booking all of the rooms except mine through convention services. All of the catering will just be charged to my room. mLife said as long as I tell convention services to link the room block expenses to my mLife account then it will earn points. Should rack up over 175,000 tier credits for this little shindig....and the attendees are paying their own way. That would rocket me to Platinum in one trip while spending very little of my own money. Gotta like that.

How does getting points for purchases work? Do you just present your m-life card and they give you points for it? Say you spend $1000 on a room for a trip, how many points will you get?

It is 25 tier credits per dollar spent including hotel costs IF it is booked through M-LIfe services. I double checked this today to make sure.

That is awesome Chuck!

[BrianF]

Yeah that's incredible man

[Ballin]

nice! now you just gotta plan one of those every year to help maintain platinum status!

[Jhaulotte]

Actually Chuck booking that annually will keep you at platinum, but your personal trips could get you to next level. Lets get greedy here!

Will be interesting to see how the room offers differ. Platinum status does carry some nice perks outside of room offers.
Does seem a little crazy that you've got to be Noir before they'll hook you up with a limo from the airport. I guess some of the
perks probably vary by property.

Yeah it will be awesome you. The airport pickups will be a nice little addition to your trips. I was happy with the separate check in/out line that gold got me.
