MGM Resorts International Announces MGM Rewards Onboard Earning Benefit at Sea

LAS VEGAS – MGM Rewards members can now earn their way to higher MGM Rewards Tier Status when vacationing at sea with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, two leading vacation brands in the Royal Caribbean Group portfolio. The newly introduced MGM Rewards Onboard Earning Benefit provides more ways to accumulate MGM Rewards Tier Credits, Points and SLOT DOLLARS for onboard gaming play on more than 40 ships, while exploring the world.

“Extending the opportunity to earn onboard is a true game changer for our members,” said Anil Mansukhani, MGM Resorts' Vice President of Loyalty Marketing. “We’re always looking to raise the stakes for our best-in-class program, and the ability for our members to earn MGM Rewards on gaming spend when vacationing at sea maximizes every dollar spent.”

The new MGM Rewards Onboard Earning Benefit is available when booking an MGM Rewards loyalty offer, certificate offer or group cruise. To be eligible for the perks, MGM Rewards members must provide their MGM Rewards number at the time of booking and use their SeaPass card while playing slots, video poker, or table games onboard. Rewards will be reflected in members’ MGM Rewards accounts within 30 days of the final day of the cruise.
