I just had a 4-night stay at Park MGM. Booked directly with MGM. I did mobile checkin, and added my WOH number to the reservation after the second day. My points and nights posted about 4 days after checking out.

Updating, my 10/17-10/20 stay is now posted to my Hyatt as of today, 1 month exact after my stay.

If I book direct with MGM, do I still earn Hyatt points/elite nights?
MGM is changing their reward program, so I am thinking about doing mattress run at low-cost MGM property to accumulate hyatt elite nights because booking direct with MGM will waive resort fee if I am hyatt globalist (meaning MGM Gold member).
So I just wanna check if Hyatt will count MGM stay for elite nights if I book direct with MGM?

Yes, direct booked stays at MGM properties count towards elite nights; just make sure they have your Hyatt number in the reservation at check-in.
There are some who speculate that stays credited to Hyatt will NOT qualify for the resort fee waiver. I am not in that camp, however.

This has been discussed to death. While you may in certain situations get away with it, as some anecdotal reports indicate, generally speaking it is very hard to not show up and produce ID at the desk in order to fully check in. Especially after the mass shooting on October 1 in Las Vegas, hotels have gotten much more strict about things like checking ID, room checks for housekeeping, etc. Some people have reported they have gotten away with checking in online and not showing ID, but I would not count on it frankly. My last MGM stay I checked in online and it explicitly told me to go by the desk and show my ID to complete check in.

I recommend checking in and checking out of the MGM Rewards property in person and confirm that your World of Hyatt membership number is attached to the reservation. I've received credit for the stay 100% of the time when I do the double check (and a much lower % when I didn't do the double check).

I just stayed this last month at the Delano with a discounted mlife rate. And even got double nights credit to help get me to globalist with the promo hyatt was running last fall. I think there is some back room linking of your mlife to hyatt so you don't have to have both on the reservation to get credit to both. Now i did get my current mlife status by matching from hyatt.

It doesn't, however, work the other way -- If you stay at a Hyatt property, my understanding is that you must choose either M life credit OR World of Hyatt.
