MGM Status Match (2026)
MGM Rewards
Verified October 13, 2026. Program terms change often, so confirm on the official page before you apply.
Short answer
MGM Rewards has no public, always-open status match form that we could verify. The documented routes are partner-based: Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor members can request a complimentary MGM tier, and MGM Rewards tiers map into Marriott Bonvoy status. Casino-to-casino requests are handled at MGM Rewards, with mixed reported results.
This is an editorial guide to MGM Rewards's match policy, not a tracked offer. We do not track a live end date for it.
MGM status match: what to know
MGM Rewards tiers are Sapphire, Pearl, Gold, Platinum and Noir. Two partner programs are documented: Royal Caribbean's Crown & Anchor Society (an MGM tier match, with the mapping below as reported by third-party sources) and Marriott Bonvoy (MGM tiers link to Marriott status through your MGM account). For a competing casino card, independent reports describe asking at an MGM Rewards desk or by contacting MGM Rewards, with outcomes that vary. One tracking site reported that a Caesars-to-MGM request was only offered as a 90-day challenge. These are anecdotal, so contact MGM Rewards before planning a trip around a match.

Which status can you match from?
- Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor Society members, through a complimentary MGM Rewards tier match. Benefits apply at MGM destinations, not onboard ships.
- Marriott Bonvoy: MGM Rewards tiers link to Marriott status. This is the MGM-to-Marriott direction; Marriott elites receive defined MGM perks rather than an MGM tier.
- Other casino cards. Handled at MGM Rewards or by its player services team, with mixed reported results. We could not find an official MGM page that publishes the terms.
How to apply
Step by step for a MGM status match
-
1
Create a free MGM Rewards account online if you do not have one.
-
2
For Royal Caribbean members, contact MGM Rewards by phone or email with your Crown & Anchor Society number, or ask at an MGM Rewards desk at an MGM destination. MGM confirms with Royal Caribbean and links the tier.
-
3
For a competing casino card, ask at the MGM Rewards desk or contact MGM Rewards before your trip, and bring your physical card and photo ID.
-
4
If the desk cannot help, ask whether a supervisor or host can review it. Treat any approval as discretionary.
Requirements and limits
- A current account in the program you are matching from, in your own name.
- Royal Caribbean tier matches are not eligible for MGM benefits onboard Royal Caribbean ships.
- Terms change, and a reported 2023 window is no guide to today. Verify with MGM Rewards.
Tips to get approved
- Ask whether the answer is a match or a challenge. One tracking site reported Caesars-to-MGM offered only as a 90-day challenge.
- Use the partner routes first. They are the best documented.
- Get the result in writing or screenshot your MGM Rewards account after the tier posts.
MGM status challenge: available
A reported 90-day challenge was offered for a Caesars Diamond card. This is anecdotal, so ask MGM Rewards whether a challenge is available.
See the status challenge hub for programs that let you earn status on a trial basis.

MGM status match: FAQ
Does MGM Rewards status match from Caesars?
There is no official published form that we could verify. One tracking site reported that Caesars-to-MGM requests were only offered as a 90-day challenge and that MGM denied most reported requests. These are small, anecdotal samples, so ask MGM Rewards.
How do I get MGM Rewards status from Royal Caribbean?
Create an MGM Rewards account, then contact MGM Rewards with your Crown & Anchor Society number or visit an MGM Rewards desk. Third-party sources report Gold maps to Sapphire, Platinum to Pearl and Emerald through Pinnacle Club to Gold.
Does MGM Rewards match with Marriott Bonvoy?
MGM Rewards tiers link to Marriott Bonvoy status through your accounts. The 2025 mapping reported is Pearl to Silver Elite, Gold and Platinum to Gold Elite and Noir to Ambassador Elite.
Is an MGM status match worth it?
It depends on how you travel. Tier perks apply at MGM Rewards destinations, so it is most useful if you stay or play there. Check the current perks on the MGM Rewards site.
