Confirmed yesterday (March 25), the MGM Rewards initiative will offer members more ways to earn points and access benefits.
Changes include the introduction of “Milestone Rewards,” which members can earn between Tier Status achievements. This is in addition to Rollover Tier Credits, allowing members to accelerate their status climb by earning up to 25,000 Tier Credits that can be carried over into the 2026 Tier Credit earning year.
Players who earn 50,000 Tier Credits in 2025 can carry 7,500 Rollover Tier Credits into 2026. Meanwhile, those with 125,000 Tier Credits in 2025 can carry over an additional 17,500 into 2026.
Members will receive premium added perks when achieving each status. These will include a top-level “Noir,” featuring a $500 Tier Celebration Credit at MGM Resorts and up to $1,200 air travel credit to fly to Las Vegas, Beau Rivage or Borgata.
Other New Benefits in MGM Rewards
Aside from this, the initiative will offer other new benefits. These include enhancements to Marriott Bonvoy tier matching benefits for MGM Rewards Pearl, Gold, Platinum and Noir members.
These elevated tier match benefits will provide more members with additional access to perks at over 10,000 Marriott Bonvoy global destinations. These include priority late checkouts, room upgrades and welcome gifts.
Meanwhile, Platinum and Noir members will receive greater access to benefits for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. Among these are upgraded stateroom types and longer vacation options, redeemable through their Annual Cruise Benefit.
All MGM Rewards members will also receive a new Onboard FreePlay benefit, based on MGM Rewards Tier Status, on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises voyages. This will be available when sailing on an MGM Rewards loyalty offer, certificate offer, or group cruise.
Rewards Card
In addition, members will have access to a new MGM Rewards eGift Card. This offers online access to gift experiences at MGM Resorts destinations.
“We are elevating our rewards program and creating more ways than ever to earn and enjoy benefits across the world and at sea,” said Anil Mansukhani, vice president of loyalty marketing at MGM Resorts.
“MGM Rewards’ next evolution of enhancements unlocks new benefits for members at every tier. We listened to feedback from our members and wanted to recognize and reward guests’ advancements throughout every level which is our central focus in delivering a best-in-class loyalty experience.”
