MGM Resorts International has announced a new partnership with Marriott International, unveiling exclusive benefits, points transfers, and status matches for members of both loyalty programs. The partnership, set to take effect early this year, will see MGM properties becoming bookable as part of Marriott Bonvoy.
One of the key benefits of this collaboration is the ability for MGM Rewards elite members to status match to Marriott, while Marriott Bonvoy elite members will receive defined benefits when booking MGM Collection hotels through Marriott booking channels. Notably, these benefits will not apply if booking directly through MGM.
Marriott Bonvoy members will also be able to transfer points between the two programs, and will receive 1 elite night credit towards status for each qualifying night stayed. The benefits for Marriott Bonvoy elites staying at MGM hotels are as follows:
- Silver: 10% Marriott Bonvoy bonus points on Qualifying Charges
- Gold: 25% Marriott Bonvoy bonus points on Qualifying Charges; Welcome gift of 500 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay
- Platinum: 50% Marriott Bonvoy bonus points on Qualifying Charges; Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability; Priority Check-In Line; Complimentary 2:00 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability); Welcome gift of 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 F&B credit per night of stay
- Titanium: 75% Marriott Bonvoy bonus points on Qualifying Charges; Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability; Priority Check-In Line; Complimentary 2:00 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability); Welcome gift of 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 F&B credit per night of stay
- Ambassador: 75% Marriott Bonvoy bonus points on Qualifying Charges; Waived resort fee; One suite upgrade at a Las Vegas Hotel per year, up to 3-night stay; Enhanced room upgrades, based upon availability; Complimentary 1:00 p.m. early check-in and 4 p.m. late checkout (subject to availability); Welcome gift of 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per stay or $15 F&B credit per night of stay; Complimentary self-parking; Priority access on dining and check-in; 15% retail discounts
Additionally, late check-out, early check-in, suite upgrades, waived resort fees, complimentary self-parking, and priority access on dining and check-in will be available during a promotional period ending December 31, 2024. It’s important to note that unlike the previous partnership with Hyatt, Marriott members will not receive tier matches to MGM’s status levels.
The benefits will be applicable to 16 properties exclusively in the “MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy,” including renowned locations such as Vdara Hotel & Spa, MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
