But What About Waiving Resort Fees?
The absolute best way to avoid resort fees is to stay at properties that don't charge them at all. This may seem obvious, but some of these fees can remain hidden until you've already booked your stay, and it's seemingly too late. If you do your research, you can avoid staying at properties that charge a resort fee in the first place.
Look for properties that are:
- Clear and upfront about their pricing
- Give you a simple price that you can afford
- Have positive reviews from most who have stayed there
What About Properties That Do Have Resort Fees?
This is where you'll need to know what kind of points you've racked up based on the usage of your M Life Reward Mastercard, as well as who to talk to and when in the process to talk to them. Figure out if you even have the points you'll need to get certain rewards, such as your resort fees waived, and then decide how you're going to go about asking for this particular perk.
