MGM Rewards Platinum $600 credit

Question

Has anyone tried to use $600 air travel credit to Vegas or $200 Celebration dining?

Please share your experience.

Answer

The MGM Rewards Platinum program offers members a variety of perks, including the $600 air travel credit and the $200 Celebration dining credit. Experiences with these credits can vary depending on how and when they are used, so it’s helpful to know what to expect.

1. $600 Air Travel Credit

This credit can generally be used to book flights to Las Vegas through MGM’s designated travel partners or booking portal. Based on member reports:

Some members successfully booked airfare directly to Las Vegas and applied the full credit toward their tickets.
Others noted that the credit may take several days to process or require pre-approval for certain airlines.
Be aware of blackout dates or restrictions; not all airlines or flights may qualify, so check the terms carefully before booking.

2. $200 Celebration Dining Credit

This credit is typically applied to dining experiences at participating MGM resorts in Las Vegas. Member experiences include:

Using the credit at fine dining restaurants like Joël Robuchon, Craftsteak, or other MGM properties.
Some members reported that reservations are recommended, as the credit is applied at checkout, not guaranteed without a booking.
The credit usually applies only to food and beverage and cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts unless explicitly stated.

Tips for Using These Credits

Always verify participating airlines or restaurants on the MGM Rewards site or by calling the program directly.
Book travel and dining early to ensure availability, especially for popular dates or weekends in Las Vegas.
Keep copies of confirmation emails and receipts; applying the credit can sometimes require proof at check-in or payment.
Understand expiration dates; credits are often valid only for a set period after activation.

Overall, members who plan carefully and follow the program rules generally have a smooth experience using both the air travel and dining credits. While some report minor issues with processing or restrictions, the credits are considered valuable perks of the MGM Rewards Platinum membership.
