A press release in July 2023 had announced that MGM would transition to the Marriott Bonvoy program.
At that time, the date of this initial transition was October 2023. However, due to a IT security problem, the date has been changed.
Marriott Bonvoy members can now earn and redeem points at 16 MGM hotels on the Marriott Bonvoy website.
In the Marriott Bonvoy group, seven MGM hotels are categorized under the“MGM Collection” banner:
Four other MGM hotels joining other Marriott Bonvoy collections, namely :
The MGM Collection from Marriott Bonvoy now includes 7 MGM hotels in Las Vegas and 5 others throughout the United States.
Points fluctuate widely depending on the hotel and the day of the week.
We’ve found that the best deals are between Sunday and Thursday. Fridays and Saturdays are the days when the hotel demands the most Marriott Bonvoy points.
For example, take advantage of the free night certificate on your Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Cardto go to the superb Bellagio and marvel at its spectacular Fountains!
The best hotel requiring the fewest points is the Excalibur Hotel & Casino, MGM Collection, where several nights cost 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. As the fifth night is free, this amounts to a total of 20,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Beware of resort fees, which are high in Las Vegas and don’t disappear when you book with points.
The best way to earn points toward free stays at MGM properties in 2025 is to purchase the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card or the Marriott Bonvoy® Business American Express®* Card.
The Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card is the best credit card for free hotel nights.
With this welcome offer, you can earn 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points by spending $1,500 in the first 3 months after joining.
It’s a card we recommend you keep, because each year at renewal, you’ll get an annual one-night free certificate worth 35,000 points, plus 15 Elite nights per year, counting towards your Marriott Bonvoy status.
With this Card, you earn 5 points per dollar on all purchases at Marriott Bonvoy properties and 2 points per dollar on all other purchases.
Last but not least, this Card comes with a wide range of insurances : baggage delay, baggage loss or theft, $500,000 travel accident, flight delay, hotel/motel burglary, rental car theft and damage, Purchase Security, Purchase Protection.
Like all American Express Canada Cards, there is no minimum income requirement.
To earn or redeem Marriott Bonvoy points and enjoy the benefits of your status on your stays at MGM hotels, it’s important to book directly on the Marriott Bonvoy website or app.
MGM Resorts International is renowned for its entertainment-focused hotels, which include casinos and other conference facilities, varied entertainment experiences and its dining and nightlife offerings.
If you’ve ever been to Las Vegas, you’ve undoubtedly seen their many hotels, and you may even have visited a few.
Marriott Bonvoy members enjoy these benefits at MGM hotels:
Each night an Elite member stays will count as a Marriott Bonvoy Elite night.
In addition, MGM also owns BetMGM, an online sports betting and gaming platform, so it will be possible to earn Marriott Bonvoy points on certain transactions, and members will also be able to receive exclusive offers.
MGM members will also be able to transfer their status to the Marriott Bonvoy program:
The change of partnership from Hyatt to Marriott Bonvoy for MGM Resorts is very good news, as it offers more opportunities to earn and redeem Marriott Bonvoy points. In fact, it is the only hotel group to offer a co-branded credit card in Canada.
The big winners in this partnership are Ambassador Elite members, who enjoy a number of beneficial benefits, such as free parking, VIP access and reduced resort fees.
