Credits
No statement credits, this card wins on earn rates, not coupons.
Benefits
- ✦Automatic Pearl tier status with free self-parking at MGM properties
- ✦Every dollar earns tier credits toward higher MGM status
- ✦Priority hotel check-in line at MGM resorts
Why it earns its spot
- +Pearl status and parking are real money for regular Vegas visitors
- +No annual fee and no foreign transaction fee
Where it costs you
- −Points are a casino currency, worth about a penny and only at MGM
- −The 20,000-point two-step offer is modest and needs $2,500 of spend
The Compound Verdict
This is a status card disguised as a rewards card. The points are an afterthought; the Pearl tier, parking and tier-credit accelerator are why Vegas regulars keep it in the drawer. FNBO also sells a $249 Iconic World Elite version with a $200 resort credit and a bigger status push for people who treat the Strip as a second home.
