Effective September 30, 2023, the partnership between World of Hyatt and MGM Rewards will come to a close, resulting in changes to the benefits available to World of Hyatt and MGM Rewards members for stays occurring on or after that date.

This is HUGE news since people usually match their Hyatt status to MGM Rewards. 
‍

Status Match Deadline

Act fast: you have until July 14, 2023, to status match Hyatt to MGM. It's closed off after that.

If you're a World of Hyatt member who matched your tier into MGM Rewards between February 1, 2023, and July 14, 2023, you'll keep your MGM Rewards tier status until January 31, 2024. However, starting from February 1, 2024, you'll need to meet the MGM Rewards program requirements to maintain your tier and enjoy the associated benefits.

MGM Resorts will honor all existing reservations at MGM Resorts destinations in Las Vegas made through Hyatt channels.

Why Does MGM Status Matter?

The savings can add up if you visit Las Vegas often.

By having MGM Pearl, you get free self-parking. MGM Gold will waive resort fees, which can add up quickly.

We have MGM Gold status, which has resulted in some nice upgrades to renovated rooms, better views, and occasionally suites.
