Did think of that but the teir expires 12 months after it was reached so will expire in May.

Are we talking m-life? Regardless, for tier credits on !!!!!! or TR, you can't keep tier level active by running a small amount through...you could keep Total Rewards credits live that way, though may drive your ADT down and may affect future offers.

!!!!!!'s T&Cs say

The date on which an M life member earns the minimum amount of tier credits required to qualify for corresponding tier benefits is the tier anniversary date. The minimum tier credits must be maintained for each 12 month period after the tier anniversary date in order for the member to maintain eligibility for applicable tier benefits. Members must redeem tier benefits within 12 months following the tier anniversary date or will forfeit such benefits.

Thanks, never heard of them either though.

Just checked my dates for Aug and the only room type they dont show is the one I want, the terrace studio premium view..typical.

As a comparison though the terrace one bed premium view is £305 on quickrooms and £364 on cityandshow

if looking at Quickrooms, try the search using 1 person & 2 people, sometimes different room types become available on the different searches

Yes it is M life (mgm).
I was last out there in May last year and got to the second tier level. (pearl)
Im not out there till september so im hoping i will be offered comp rooms for that date before may, failing that i can book a casino rate.
Just wish id checked my players account before. been 6 times and could have had casino rate or even comped rooms.

if it makes you feel any better we had almost no offers from MGM on the Players Club version - I think the best we ever had was a discounted rate at Monte Carlo...with M Life we have much more than we had before...each had a comped night at Mandalay Bay plus a few discounted/casino rates...we are also both pearl.

Just a heads up incase this effects anyone... Logged into my Virgin account and our flight from Manchester in October has changed times it leaves Manchester (and Vegas on the return) an hour earlier now which tbh is better for me. I just had a major panic that they were gonna have reset the seat setting and that I would have lost the 2 on their own seats that I had for the way back but they have stayed the same phew!!!!

the times will be reflecting the hour difference when the clocks change next month

Arrrr makes sense I suppose, I just thought it was worth mentioning as its not happened with our Gatwick flights before.

What's the best way to fly fromscotland, preferably Aberdeen, to Vegas? Don't mind stopping overnight somewhere. Also how much would be reasonable for 2 of us to pay for 4 or 5 nights in a hotel on the strip where we can venture out at night. I think the quotes we've had so far is about £800 per person.

also don't forget you can undertake on the freeways ect . and don't break the speed limit less you want a hefty fine .

I undertake on the motorways here and dual-carriageways..
Why ?
Cos am guessing half of america lives over with the amount of idiots who sit in the 2nd or 3rd lane on the motorways when the 1st lane is perfectly clear! :mad: :mad: :mad:

As to braking the speed limit in Nevada, whats the deal with those long roads that just seem to head off into the mountains ? with nothing around but land, is that the kind of place cops hide out as such to catch wanna-be speedsters ? (say i take a drive to Lake Mead, thats got a longish straight road i believe ?)
