Last June a huge partnership went live between Hyatt Gold Passport and MGM M life. Shortly thereafter Starwood and Caesars announced a similar partnership, though it's not nearly as lucrative. The Hyatt/MGM partnership was a brilliant idea, given Hyatt's lack of properties in Las Vegas. Through this partnership, MGM's properties in Las Vegas are a…

Also worth noting that Gold Passport points earned for MGM stays can take several weeks to credit to your Hyatt account. According to Hyatt, it's up to 15 days, but my last stay was 9 Sep and it still has not posted to my account.
My MLife platinum status also just lapsed. Unfortunately, I also dropped from Hyatt Diamond to Platinum this past year, but am trying to requalify for Diamond by year-end. Should I just wait to re-opt-in until I have my Diamond status back or should I do it know at the MLife Gold level and try to further upgrade once I hit Diamond? I have an MGM booking for April which I luckily made while I still had MLife Platinum so I got a great rate.
Thanks!
Any ideas what we can get from Royal Caribbean as status-matched MLife members? I guess we don't get a complimentary cruise/discount but what about everything else?
@ Lucky -- thanks for the reminder!
What about matching status the other direction? I have Gold status with MLife, can I get Platinum with Hyatt? Can't seem to find this info on their site.
I'm confused. You reference "Pearl" status. but for the color of the card all I see is platinum for both Hyatt and MLife. What is Pearl status?
@ Paul -- Pearl is their entry level elite status, which I've earned through spend in Las Vegas. See here:

Hey Lucky,
First, thanks for the reminder!! I signed up the same time you did originally and was wondering why I had trouble booking a room with the Mlife account. Now I know why. And thanks for the walk though on the pages. The Mlife pages can be slow to load and you don't want to be wandering aimlessly.
Also, the basement card for Mlife is Sapphire, not Pearl. A caution to everyone is that you must present BOTH your Hyatt and Mlife cards at the front desk in order to get the points. Between the MGM and Hyatt it took 2 months to credit a stay because I did not present both cards. Otherwise, this is a great program in a city where status is everything.
Hi,
I have a status match from Hyatt plat to Mlife Gold. How do I request for the Mlife gold card upon arrival at the hotel?
Thanks,
@ Joy
You have to go to the MLife desk in the casino. They used to mail them out but not any more. If you check in before you get your card, make sure they have the MLife number in the reservation and ALSO make sure they have your Hyatt Plat number so you can get the Hyatt points. Then, ask them about a comp room upgrade as they don't seem to just give it to you automatically.
@ Joy -- Just go to the M Life desk at any participating hotel and they can make it for you.
I'm Mlife Platinum and wanted to match it with Hyatt Diamond. I called and no one seems to know how to do it from mlife to hyatt. Do you know how?
@ JJ -- To clarify, Mlife Platinum only gets you Hyatt Platinum and not Hyatt Diamond.
Hi I achieved Diamond last month and just went through the status match process with mlife. Upon syncing, it shows that I am only an mlife gold member. I emailed mlife and they stated that this is correct, mlife matches Diamond with gold and "Diamond Plus" with Platinum... I was not aware of this and can't find it anywhere online. On top of that, I was not aware there was a "Diamond Plus" status.
