Exciting times are ahead for frequent flyers to the vibrant Cosmopolitan Las Vegas! Brace yourselves for a significant upgrade as the resort’s cherished Identity Membership and Rewards program is set to transition seamlessly into the MGM Rewards program on July 30. This news follows the blockbuster acquisition of Blackstone’s operating rights by MGM Resorts International for a whopping $1.6 billion deal back in September 2019. It’s a game-changer move that’s sure to shake things up on the Strip.
The Transition: Cosmopolitan Identity Program Merging with MGM Rewards After Cyberattack Delays
Originally, the big reveal of merging Identity Membership and Rewards with MGM Rewards was all set to hit the jackpot by February 2024. However, the plan hit a snag when a cyberattack threw a spanner in the works, forcing a delay to ensure a smooth integration. But here we are now, with the transition in full swing, and all the juicy details rolled out for the curious account holders.
MGM has laid their cards on the table. All Identity Tier Points earned between July 30, 2023, and July 29, 2024, will be doubled down and converted into MGM Rewards Tier Credits by close of business on July 29, 2024. This transition is sweetened further as points from table games play during this period will also convert as bonus Tier Credits, beefing up members’ MGM Rewards accounts.
For the high-rollers worried about their accumulated points, there’s no need to fret. Every last Tier Credit is being tallied and will merge with the existing tier status under MGM Rewards through January 31, 2026. Furthermore, MGM Rewards boasts five elite tier levels: Sapphire, Pearl, Gold, Platinum, and the exclusive, invite-only NOIR.
A Slick Makeover: Identity Transforms to MGM Rewards with New Terminology
As the stage is set for Identity to morph into MGM Rewards, expect a fresh lexicon sweeping through the casino floor. What you once knew as tier points at Cosmopolitan will now don the term “tier credits” in the revamped MGM system.
Here’s another fun twist: the Tier Status Earning Year for MGM Rewards runs a bit like a roulette wheel. It spins from January 1 to December 31 each year, giving members a full swing to earn their keep. And like the resetting slot machines, all unused tier credits zero out every New Year’s Day, refreshing the chase for the next round of big wins.
Slot aficionados, take note—what once rolled in as Identity Points from slot machines, video poker, and other gaming gizmos will now be known as Slot Dollars in the MGM Rewards universe. It’s a snazzy rebranding aimed to crank up your earning potential and amp up those tier credit opportunities.
Worried this switcheroo might turn your favorite game upside down? Don’t sweat it. This overhaul from Identity to MGM Rewards is designed to up the ante on your earning capacity and amplify your tier credit opportunities.
Members will hit the jackpot with the ability to rack up points not just at the dazzling Cosmopolitan but across over 20 other MGM properties nationwide, plus the uber-convenient BetMGM app. Imagine earning points while indulging in gourmet dining, reveling in entertainment, pampering yourself at the spa, or even when you’re splurging at retail stores.
Looking to climb the ladder of success? Here’s how the tiers stack up: 25,000 tier credits for Pearl status, 75,000 for Gold, and a staggering 200,000 for Platinum. This integration paves the path for an extensive array of benefits and ramped-up earning possibilities for the loyal patrons of the Cosmopolitan, promising an exciting, win-win journey for all involved in the MGM Rewards program.
