From what I've read, if you book through MGM and have Gold or higher the resort fees are very likely to be waived; but you could have trouble getting the nights to post from Mlife -> Hyatt
If you book through Hyatt, you will get the nights no problem but won't get the resort fees waived (?)
So if you are below MGM Gold then you should book through Hyatt because you have to pay resort fees anyway, whereas if you are MGM Gold or higher then you should book through MGM for resort fees.
Is this correct?
Ghost run or Mattress Run? As those are VERY different things.
Ghost Run is where you attempt (not successful in many cases) to check in fully online and get credit for the stay.
Mattress Run is where you physically check in but only stay for a small part of the booked nights.
In any case ALWAYS book with MGM as the rates will be cheaper and you get Hyatt credit both ways, status doesn’t matter for booking.
