I thought matching from Hyatt after 1 Feb means you can match back again next year if you don’t requalify? Are am I reading it wrong?

It’s not a one and done, if your status with MGM does not reflect what your matched status should be (I.e. if you got downgraded) then rematch, there is no limit to the times you can do it. It took me 3 tries using the matching process to actually see the newly reflected status after being downgraded.

Yes. That would be my guess, anyway. Caesars grants the $100 anniversary dining thing matched Diamonds (the level just below Seven Stars, or whatever it's called), and I've done this about 3 times already.

No, only people who earn their tier status through spend get the dining or airline credits. Even members who earned their status by spend last year do not get the dining credit this year, only people who earn the status this year.

But isn’t the point the different Hyatt and MLife membership years that allow you to keep matching over and over?

Matt4200

That’s basically what I thought even though it shows up in the app.

Matt4200

Yes? If you re-read my post you can rematch over and over and over.

So for example let’s say you matched on 1/15 (a few weeks ago as you said) if your status is still showing the upgraded one it’s valid until 2/1/2023. If it shows or for some reason gets downgraded you simply go and do the match again and it will then definitely be good until 2/1/2023.

Does that makes sense?

m0hamed

Thanks. But shouldn’t I have done the match after 1 Feb? That would go until 2024 then if I dropped Hyatt status on 1 March I could match back?

Matt4200

Again you can go ahead and match it again right now if you’re concerned about losing status. Do it two or 3 times from both ends to be sure if you’d like.

Doppy

It shows up in the app, but if you click on it for more detail it says "qualifying members..."

Still not a great way of doing it

Thank you so much!

I have been trying for 2 weeks to get Hyatt to status match my Mlife account without any success.
I have done online status match multiple times,
Chatted online with Hyatt multiple times
I called a couple of days ago and they said give them a week to match. Got an email that says I do not have any status with Mlife. I am currently Gold with Mlife. I know Feb 1 Mlife did a change, prior to Feb 1 I was Platinum, now account shows Gold.
I have a trip next week and would like to take advantage of the status match.
What do I do? Wait till I get to the hotel and see if they can help. Stop into a nearby hotel and see if they can help?
Thoughts?
Thank you

There's nothing anyone at a hotel can do. Keep trying the online match or contact Hyatt online or by phone.

Globalist/Explorist only gets MGM Rewards Gold, not Platinum anymore...

I find this somewhat surprising, especially since CET grants the $100 dining for matched status. While I can certainly understand withholding the Noir's $500/$1,200, I finding peculiar that even for those who had earned Gold aren't granted the $100. Going from 25X points to 4, even with the double promo, essentially means many will find it considerably more challenging to reach Gold again, and likely will never sniff Platinum.

As it stands now, the best way to reach Gold is via the Hyatt match--this definitely has some value now.

PS - Vegas in practice - I rarely email, but because of this Noir not receiving the $500/$1,200 even if "earned," I reached out to my host via telephone, and, I suppose, whined about it. She assured me not to fret over it, and will load up $1,000 in freeplay when I'm there for Super Bowl weekend. For those who aren't gamblers, cashing out freeplay is easy, e.g., play 25 cents Jacks or Better Video poker and cycle thorough the entire freeplay, where the return of cash should range from 95% - 105% of par.
