Oh well as long as we still have the caesars match from wyndham…..hopefully
CRAP. I only matched Wyndham to Caesars. I hadn't done MGM yet. Is it too late for me now? Sounds like it is
I was going to get the no AF hilton 2 cards from now. . Already a authorized user and wife also has aspire. I can find a good place for those points. It will get me at 4/24 with the 5th a authorized hilton card with wife. Any thoughts if chase will let me finish the trifecta with the flex with the hilton authorized card included in my 5/24? Will they ignore the authorized card for the 5/24?
Thank you for the reminder! I almost forgot to status match my Hyatt to MGM
“Because then you’re screwed” 😂🤣
This is why I did my trip to Las Vegas in November last year. I knew they were going to cut off the Merry-Go-Round to newcomers eventually. By the way, I renewed my Wyndham -> Caesars and Hyatt -> MGM statuses. I think that user who didn't get the right status just screwed up and put in platinum instead of diamond. I was able to get diamond just fine. It takes a few days for the status match to process on Caesars. MGM was practically instant.
I matched everything in November 2022. I'm so happy I did it then, and got in before this change!
I applied for the Wyndham card in early November 2022, because I was going to be in Vegas in mid Dec and hoped that would be enough time to get the match going.
It took Barclays almost 2 full months to approve me. And now I'm locked out. I'm so annoyed. It's probably still worth it just for the Caesars status but… ehhh
I got my Wyndham Diamond matched to Caesars Diamond just last week. Took about 3-4 days
I went to amex Hilton site, saw the promotion for the surpass that said 150k points and free night. But when I clicked the apply button it only mentioned the points and not the free night for $3000 in 3 months. Is this a scam?
Welp, looks like I WONT be keeping my Wyndham Business Earner after this year.. sucks cause it took me about a month to get it smhhh
That's a shame, since I'm from the Atlantic City area and was considering the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business card for this purpose! (And going from Caesars Diamond -> MGM Gold -> World of Hyatt Explorist). But great channel, and I've definitely learned a lot!
If you're going down to AC, the Tropicana has done some remodeling and added some new restaurants! (Also, Boogie Nights is a blast for the 70s/80s music on Friday and Saturday nights!)
Tried to match my MGM to Hyatt today and it didn't work!
Hey mate, I have a question. So I got approved Amex Platinum and I the offer I had on screen was 125k. I accepted the card and yada yada yada, after I met the spend limit they told me that I wasn’t eligible for the welcome offer. But the thing is that I called Amex multiple times before for other inquiries (adding additional cards, travel booking, concierge etc.) and they updated me on how far I am from the threshold. But then when I met it, they said I won’t receive it. I filled a complaint and it came back negative. I filled it again and no reply yet. I called back a few days ago for another matter and asked about the welcome bonus and they said it will be credited in 4ish weeks.
I would take the last agents word, but other agents have been giving me other information. So I don’t know what to do. Are there any data points?
You might be interested to know that MGM isn't really killing the match. The matches between MGM and Caesars are promotional programs that have been on and off for many years. Over the last 3 years they have been in place continuously which is rare in the larger context. But I get that you haven't been in this game that long so can't look back at the history.
I'm guessing they left the match in place the last few years because things were so slow due to COVID. I have no doubt that reciprocity will come back in the future.
I have Wyndham Business earner card and got Caesar’s Diamond again this year .
I did the match from Wyndham Diamond to Caesars and it also gave me platinum instead of Diamond. I know I clicked Diamond.
I did the match to Caesars and also got Platinum status.
Now these properties are flush with suckers or customers Corporate feels comfortable turning the screws a wee bit.
How long did it take to MGM match back to Hyatt… I submitted mine several days ago and so far nothing!
I have the Wyndham Business card and was able to match Caesars Diamond a few days ago online. I also just did the online match from Hyatt to MGM and was able to get Gold. Still seems to be working.
So if you were to get either Hyatt explorist or MGM gold organically could you then bounce them back and forth from there?
Dont forget to status matrch to Enterprise, Radison, Best Western, Hertz and lots more
Last year I got Caesars diamond status after status matching my Wyndham business earners credit card. It did not take a few days it did not take a few weeks, it took a lot of back-and-forth communication because the online status match system allows you no insight into whether they received your status match request and where it is in the process. I would say mine took over a month and a lot of back-and-forth communication. I just submitted for a status match again for 2023 a few days ago, and hopefully that is as smooth as you mentioned Ben.
Something worth mentioning as well I did do an in person status match at Borgata using my Caesars diamond status, but my Caesars diamond status was expiring within a few days since I did it at the end of January. I did not get a full year of MGM gold status they only gave me six months, not sure if that is normal but that’s what happened to me a few weeks ago.
Ben,
Thanks for the update. Saw this on MilesTalk page and wanted to share as a possibility for first timers:
Wyndham Business Earner Card >> Caesars Diamond >> Hard Rock Rock Royalty >> Ocean Prime >> MGM Gold (in person, lasts til June 30, 2023) >> Hyatt Explorist (online)
must be done in Atlantic City and can report back when I attempt soon
