MGM Resorts International launches new rewards program

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Today, MGM Resorts officially launches MGM Rewards, its new loyalty rewards program, offering enhanced benefits and new ways to earn for its millions of members worldwide. For the first time, non-gaming members will join their gaming counterparts and earn a currency - MGM Rewards Points - redeemable for complimentary dining, entertainment, hotel stays and much more.

As a welcome to MGM Rewards, for a limited time all members benefit from a 2x multiplier on Tier Credits earned at the Company's Las Vegas resorts 1 February – 30 April 2022 (at the new earning rates).
