Status Match from Hyatt Diamond to Mlife Platinum & MGM Mlife Reward Changes on 12/15/2015

Posted on by . 4 Replies

(Hat Tip to Nigel)

Good morning everyone.  If you recently status matched to Hyatt Diamond, you may be interested in status matching to Mlife Platinum.  However, if you are Hyatt Platinum (Chase Hyatt credit card holder), you will only be matched to Mlife Gold.  Lastly, if you have no status with Hyatt, you will only be matched to Mlife Sapphire (base level).  This graphic probably explains it better than I can:

Let me be honest, I am not much of a gambler (see exhibit A below, where I turned $40 into 15 cents at the slot machines).  But If you are a gambler (hopefully you have better luck than I do), you might already have an MLife Rewards card with points.  Apparently there is a minor devaluation coming to Mlife on December 15, 2015, according to this announcement.

Good morning everyone!  With the impending demise of the “old” US Bank Club Carlson Credit Card, I thought it would be a good idea to compare the “new” Club Carlson free night certificate with other free night certificates from other co-brand hotel credit cards.  Here is the table comparing Intercontinental, Hyatt, Marriott, Club Carlson, Hilton, Fairmont, and Starwood:
