As for coin in since 2018 I’ve put about 100k in with MGM in Vegas never offered or considered for Noir. Not even a complimentary bump to Platinum had to earn it myself.
I would further argue that many more people got Noir from the Hyatt/MGM relationship than people who get automatic Globalist status from the AA/Hyatt membership even though a direct status match is offered per the program terms and is publicly available (AA ConciergeKey level members can status match to Hyatt Globalist status).
I would definitely argue that Noir is true Elite as there are many hard benefits such as guaranteed free limo service, front of the line at any MGM restaurant, dedicated VIP host, suite upgrades and much more.
Agree with these points. Earned Hyatt Globalist in 2021 and 2022, MGMRewards (and previous names) member going back to 2000. Never was higher than Platinum with MGM until this year, when I was one of the lucky "500" to be given Noir. So not a long time Hyatt Globalist but a long time mediocre-level gambler. Point is, any speculation on here as to who and why and how people got Noir is pure speculation. For all we know, the Hyatt Concierge perhaps had more influence. Who knows. Oh and its not like my Hyatt spend tagged me as a high-roller. Most of our Hyatt stays are at HH or HP with a few HR mixed in. And the Hyatt CC goes a long way to getting to Globalist for us, so its not like we live in Hyatt hotels by any stretch.
The Noir perks are nice though. Everyone has their own preferences but the airport transport is huge for us. Going to miss that.
Which reminds me, I need to reach out to my Venetian host and explain why we havent been in this year and see what kind of unofficial match he might work out LOL.
