Marriott Bonvoy’s partnership with MGM Resorts marks the end of a similar deal.

Beginning Sept. 30, Hyatt loyalty holders will no longer be able to book MGM property stays using the booking channels of their company.

All existing reservations are honored. However, guests will not be eligible to earn World of Hyatt or Tier Qualification Nights during any stay that extends beyond September 30.

The situation is similar for MGM Rewards: No MGM Rewards Tier credits for dollars spent on Hyatt hotels after September 30.

Customer in each loyalty program who has matched tiers between March 1, 2020 and July 14, 2030 will maintain their loyalty status until Jan. 31 2024 for MGM Rewards and February 29, 2024 for The World of Hyatt.

Marriott Bonvoy will launch a partnership with MGM Resorts later in the year. The most notable change is that Marriott Bonvoy will now allow members to access loyalty rewards and book accommodations at 12 Las Vegas casinos and resorts, as well as five other properties in the U.S.

MGM and Hyatt’s relationship is ending with the new partnership. You may wish to include an MGM Rewards or Marriott Bonvoy Number to your booking if you are a World of Hyatt Elite with a reservation that extends beyond September 30th.
