Anybody have any information/experience about redeeming a "requiring stay" reward after checking out? As in: you check out of the hotel at 11 am then get your Bellagio dinner comp that night? Or is it strictly while you're checked into the hotel?
You need to be checked in when you go to the mlife desk to get the comp. So just go to the mlife desk before you check-out to load the comp, and then check-out. Once its loaded on your card it doesn't matter what time of day you go to use it.
Just have something on you, like a receipt, or copy of email confirmation from the hotel. I just did this at Mandalay Bay. Checked out of Luxor went over to MB for lunch buffet, showed the girl my receipt from Luxor, and that was fine.
