With the announcement, though, came a couple of questions: How will the waived-resort-fees benefit work in practice, and how will World of Hyatt and MGM Rewards members earn Hyatt points, MGM points and MGM tier credits on stays and dining?Įager to learn more, I went to Las Vegas to enjoy a one-night stay at two properties: Excalibur Hotel & Casino (which was booked through MGM Resorts) and the MGM Grand Las Vegas Hotel & Casino (which was reserved via Hyatt). My ears immediately perked up when I found out about this benefit. World of Hyatt Explorists and Globalists can find great value in matching to MGM Rewards Gold, as this tier of the new program comes with the benefit of waived resort fees. But given the MGM Rewards program's ties to World of Hyatt, which give Hyatt elite members the opportunity to opt in to a matched MGM Rewards tier level, it's a program that's on our radar. Normally, casino loyalty programs don't get a ton of coverage from TPG. 1, MGM Resorts launched its new MGM Rewards program.
