What Does the Card Offer?
The card, which comes with a $250 annual fee, comes with various benefits for its holders who decide to spend money in any MGM Resorts properties, which number more than 20 across the US. Owners will get points and tier credits based on what and where they spend money. For example, holders will get 6X Points & Tier Credits for every $1 spent at MGM Rewards Destinations. In addition, they will also earn 2X Points & Tier Credits per $1 spent at hotels, dining, gas stations, and grocery stores. Finally, owners of the card will get 1X Point & Tier Credit per $1 spent everywhere else.
In addition, cardholders will receive a $200 resort credit upon opening a new account, as well as annually on their account anniversary. Those who use the new casino card for larger purchases can unlock additional perks, including 10,000 tier credits and a complimentary one-night stay, valued at up to $250, at participating MGM properties, provided they spend at least $25,000 on the card within a year.
To top everything off, holders will benefit from Mastercard’s global network. This includes rewards and benefits of Mastercard World Elite, which span travel, entertainment, and lifestyle. Holders will gain access to a complimentary 24/7 concierge service that acts as a personal assistant for travel, dining, and special requests worldwide. In addition, they will benefit from Mastercard’s security services, as well as various other travel perks.
