All of MGM Rewards Explained in 11 Minutes
🎰 Is MGM Rewards status actually worth chasing? We break down what you get in food, travel, and preferred access, and where we think the value is (and isn't). Tier status gets a lot of attention from casino travelers. We stay and play at MGM properties quite a bit, so we went through what each level really gives you: the dining credits, the resort fee and parking savings, the cruise and air benefits, and how to earn status without overspending. Our short answer is to play where it makes sense for you and don't chase status at MGM. ⏱️ CHAPTERS [00:00] Intro: what MGM status is worth to us [01:07] Food: dining credits and lounges [02:03] Travel: resort fees, air credits, and cruises [04:14] Preferred access: check-in, restaurant lines, cashiers, parking [06:06] How to earn status: MGM credit cards [07:18] Tier credit accelerators [08:10] Status matches [09:02] Where to play: Cosmopolitan vs. Aria and electronic table game tracking [10:51] Which tier levels are worth it [11:20] Final thoughts 🧾 WHAT WE COVER • Gold and Platinum dining credits, and the catch that you have to earn points that year to use them • Why free parking and resort fee savings matter more to us than the flashy perks • The MGM cruise benefit update, including what Gold and Platinum get on select sailings • Free Pearl status with either MGM credit card, including the no annual fee one • Why status matches are temporary and what they require • Why electronic table games and bubble craps at the Cosmopolitan can earn tier points and Aria doesn't 💬 YOUR TURN Want us to cover Caesars, Wynn, Hard Rock, or another program the same way?
