Status Match paths to mLife status?
Is there any route to mLife status other than:
(a) earning it
(b) Hyatt
(c) some Cruise companies
(d) going to Atlantic City (and does this actually work?)
?
Through FoundersCard & Amex Platinum I have decent status on most hotel chains except Hyatt, but I can't figure out a way in to mLife or Hyatt.

MGM Resorts Status Match | StatusMatcher and MGM Resorts M life Report: Deny | StatusMatcher suggests that mLife Gold or higher cannot be obtained through a status match with Caesars, but YMMV -- I don't know about the lower levels.
You mentioned (b) Hyatt . . . do you mean getting status through stays or credit card spend? The new WoH credit card can get you Explorist for $62,500 in one calendar year -- then you can match to mLife Gold. I have the old Hyatt credit card (I don't think this is available anymore) which got Explorist through $50,000 spend in 12 months. https://thepointsguy.com/news/should...t-credit-card/, which you can then use to match to mLife Gold.
If you're looking to just "get in the door" with mLife, you can get the co-branded Mastercard, which gets you automatic Pearl status.

For (d), it had better work because Borgata has it published on their website: https://www.theborgata.com/casino/m-...-gold-trade-up
Note that it only applies to new mlife members, so if you're already a member it won't work (and it only works once--can't be repeated multiple years.)

Neither are true. You don't need to be a new member to status match to gold. I was previously gold through the old Hyatt platinum tier (via their credit card) and later status matched to gold again via TR diamond status. And in a recent trip to Borgata that they status matched me to gold again from diamond - I had to show a current diamond card but as I hadn't gotten my new cards (and didn't feel like going to Harrahs to get one) I asked if they'd accept the status indicator from the app which they did. That surprised me as I thought the way you did - one status match ever so I asked them and they told me I can always request a status match as long as I have status elsewhere.

Has anyone matched at MGM Springfield? They list a match on their website but don't provide any details.

What details are you looking for? Most of the MLIFE local casinos offer and have pretty much the same match criteria. What tier status do you have and trying to match to? AFAIK, MLIFE is only matching competitors highest tiers to MLIFE Gold only. No Platinum match. Hope that helps.
