Thoughts
A key thing to note here is that because this offer is only applicable to bookings made ‘through MGM Resorts online at mgmresorts.com, by phone, or via mobile app‘, it’s unlikely that a Bonvoy member who triggers this offer by booking a ‘MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy’ property, will earn elite night credits or Bonvoy points from their booking.
This is the wording from the MGM/Bonvoy page:
‘A Qualifying Stay for Marriott Bonvoy® Members to earn Marriott Bonvoy® Points at included MGM Resorts destinations are stays booked through Marriott.com (including Award Redemption Stays), Marriott Bonvoy App, and the Marriott Customer Engagement Centers. Select prevailing rates booked through the MGM Resorts Call Center, and participating MGM Resorts Travel Agents may also be Qualifying Stays’.
‘Stays booked through the following methods at MGM Collection with Marriott Bonvoy® Destinations are not considered Qualifying Stays:
- The Guest Room was booked through an MGM Resorts website, MGM Rewards Website, or the MGM Rewards mobile app; or
- The Guest Room was booked through the MGM Resorts Call Center on a non-prevailing rate such as casino offers, MGM Rewards member discounts, etc.
A possible exception to this may occur if a phone reservation made through MGM is considered to be a ‘non-prevailing’ rate, as that appears to qualify for Bonvoy earnings.
I have no idea how you find out if a phone booking is using a prevailing or non-prevailing rate (ask if you call), but just keep in mind that any online bookings made through Bonvoy will not trigger either of these offers, and any online booking made through MGM will not earn Bonvoy points or elite night credits.
Overall, I doubt this offer will cause anyone to rush to book a previously unplanned stay, but if you were considering a visit to Vegas and don’t mind paying rip-off resort fees, this offer may tempt you into an MGM booking.
Which credit card?
In my account, this offer has been targeted to all my Membership Rewards cards but not to my Bonvoy co-branded card, so I have chosen to load it to the Blue Business® Plus Credit Card from American Express (review) as, in case I lose my mind and decide to visit Vegas, this card will earn me 2 points/dollar* on my stay and that’s double what any of my other targeted cards would earn me.
Others, however, may be able to do better. If you’ve been targeted for this offer on your American Express® Green Card, for example, you can use that card to earn 3 points/dollar on most travel spending and that includes stays at hotels around the world (terms apply).
*It earns cardholders up to $50,000 of eligible spending per year and 1 point/dollar thereafter – terms apply.
Note: All information about the American Express® Green Card has been collected independently by Traveling For Miles. The American Express® Green Card is not currently available through Traveling For Miles.
Bottom line
A new targeted offer for stays at three MGM properties in Las Vegas has gone live this morning, so anyone planning a break to Vegas should check their online accounts. Marriott Bonvoy members hoping to stack these offers with Bonvoy point and elite night credit earnings should read the terms and conditions of these offers very carefully.
