I dunno if that's really worth it - by not using a typical 2% cashback card (and assuming you use up all your mLife points), you're effectively paying 1 cent per TC earned with the mLife card. OTOH, you can simply pay 4 cents per TC just through mLife property spend, but you get whatever you bought, too. I'd skip the mLife card and consider it a 25% discount on whatever you spend at mLife properties in Vegas to get you over the Platinum cutoff.

Well, as OP said, there's keeping the comp balance active. I can't think of any other good reasons to have it - most people who stay at mLife properties are already going to have Pearl status. Maybe a local who really needs to self park after 12/29, or a visitor who doesn't stay at mLife properties who really wants that buffet line pass?
