I booked rack rates on Aria's website for like $119/night midweek in April. Then I remembered the myvegas thing...once I'm within the 90 days can I buy the 25% off reward and get 25% off these rates? Or will it be 25% off whatever the going rate is at the time? Or 25% off something else? Seems kind of crazy that I could save over $100 on a reward that only costs 8000 LPs.
It's 25% off their normal rack rates which you can basically find a 25% discount for Aria anywhere. Also, you can purchase the reward at anytime, but will need to book the room within 90 days, not stay within the 90 days.
I booked it. Only two of my nights were eligible for the discount though but it still saved me $60 somehow. I Googled around and didn't see any better discounts so figured why not use the measly 8000 LPs. Now, am I to understand that I should use this booking date as the date of this reward? And that way I can use three separate rewards on my actual trip since it's over 90 days away? Probably will use the $50 free if available, free buffet(s) and maybe the $25 discount.
Bummer. So you have 90 days from reward purchase to booking the room but for redeeming the reward its the actual stay date that counts towards your 3 rewards in 30 days thing? Shit, I'm confused. Is it 3 in 30 or 3 in 90? I have a trip in January...if i use a buffet or something will it negate my ability to use my two remaining ones in March? I have over 1M LPs I'll never use.
It's 3 in 30. Rewards expire if not used within 90 days. However, you can book a show or a hotel that's more than 90 days out. For example, you purchase a ticket for KA today, you could reserve tickets for a show in June. I think the simplest way to understand it is that you get 3 MLife rewards per trip. So you can use 3 rewards for your trip in January and 3 more for your trip in March.
