I went to get a new MLife card at MGM Grand a week ago, since I noticed that my card expired. I was told that I dropped to Pearl. I showed the Players Club rep my HGP Diamond status on my phone app and he changed my status to MLife Plat. It took ~10 minutes for me to show up in their system as a Plat, good through 9/30/17.

+1 - Cool that worked.

Currently I am mlife gold, has anyone been able to get Mlife to match your gold status to Hyatt Explorist? I have emailed memberservices @ mlife twice and have not gotten a response. First request was over 2 weeks ago.

If you are seeking status from Hyatt, you need to contact Hyatt.

That is incorrect. I recently emailed [email protected] with my mLife and Hyatt info and they had my Hyatt status upgraded to Explorist. It took a couple weeks before I saw the status change on Hyatt's website.

That's who I emailed. I finally got a response from them last night. They said they would submit my request to Hyatt and it should be done in a few weeks.

I stand corrected.

I've emailed them twice already and haven't received a response yet (it's been 8 days). I'm hoping to get matched to Explorist from my M Life platinum membership. I was dropped down to Discoverist once the Hyatt tiers reset.

maybe try calling, one of the options when you call the number on the back of your card is regarding hyatt relationship. They did finally get back to me via email but it took almost 2 weeks. Now I am waiting for the match to actually go through.

I emailed Mlife on 3/3, never got a response so called on 3/17, she said they get thousands of emails so it takes a long time to respond but looked me up and put in the request while I was on the phone - told me it would like 7-10 days to show up on the Hyatt site but I got an email on 3/21 saying I was matched (only Pearl to Discoverist so I am lowly in both).

It sounded like if I hadn't told her it had been two weeks since I emailed she would have told me to just keep waiting for them to get to it.

Emailing a letter to Hyatt @ [email protected] with mLife Platinum account number, screenshot of mLife card/account status and Hyatt account number works just fine for most waiting 2-3 weeks or so for the Hyatt account upgrade to be done.

For those taking this route, the Hyatt account upgrade to Explorist comes with the 4 club upgrades.

Suppose--purely hypothetically--that someone
  • matched Hyatt Plat to mLife Gold before the WoH cutover on 3/1, and then
  • matched MLife Gold to WoH Explorist

Given the offset between the mLife status year (ends 9/30) and the WoH status year, how long can our hypothetical FTer keep this ball in the air?

I don't know, but I'm guessing that the life of it isn't that many years given Hyatt and MGM seem to have downgraded their tier-matching relationship.

[I'm more familiar with Hyatt Diamond to mLife Platinum leading to Hyatt Explorist than the other routes.]

I finally received a response back and said that they would forward to Hyatt. Hope to see my account updated in a couple weeks.

Globalists who have their MGM Plat might find this of interest... while we still have MGM Plat at least. Caesars/Total Rewards is status matching MGM Plat to TR Diamond. with an expiration date of 1/31/18. They have Diamond Lounges and waive resort fees for diamonds. https://www.caesars.com/total-reward...d-tier-upgrade
