I’ll also be at Mohegan on Saturday. It’s going to be a crazy day, since it’s Selena Gomez concert night. (crazy = place overrun by 10 to 18 year olds).

Thanks to all who replied.
Unfortunately I’ll be at MS for about 4 hrs. on Sat. as part of a bus trip back from a Rhode Island Lobster buffet.
Mary and I go on this annually with her cousins.
I’ll probably just walk around and go for a drink.
MS doesn’t appeal to me at all, particularly after the responses to my inquiry.
I’ll stick with Revel and an occasional FW trip.

And the top two club levels are credited with a certain number of “Choice Credits” per month, 800 for the top level, SOAR and 200 for the next one down, ASCEND. BUT there is now a choice credit charge of 10pp off-peak/15pp peak for each lounge access, for ASCEND, 100/400 per night for a room, varying amounts for Arena shows, etc. SOAR apparently gets full lounge access & rooms, ASCEND MAY get rooms, based on play but must pay for lounges.
Obviously, these levels match up against the old Sagamore/Sachem levels, but now they’re restricting how much you can use the lounges. They vaguely mention that there are Momentum Accelerators, without specific definition that I noticed. Details about the choice credits are here:
https://mohegansun.com/content/dam/mohegansun/PDF/Momentum/mohegan_sun_choice_credits_20131001.pdf
One thing that strikes me about the ‘new & improved’ program is that they are clearly curtailing the locals who used to come in a couple of, or a few, times a week, made Sagamore level, and used the lounges as hangouts/ free restaurant/bars. Just out of curiosity, I looked to see if I was still being offered free rooms, and there were a few mid-week days that seemed to be free. But they did say $0.00 / 200 Choice Credits, so I don’t know if they’re actually free or not. And I guess I will never know ; )
BREAKING NEWS!!!
I just got an email for DOUBLE Momentum Points for 10/25 (not double status points, though).
Let me do the math:
2 X 0 = 0
Yep, that works for me.

Too much time on my hands…
Although I haven’t played there in two years , I was perusing the MS website. See the Momentum reward program.
As with most card programs; top tier seems to offer nothing to make it worthwhile.
How much coin in on VP for a status pt. ? Even more important are they giving pts. on the FP Jacks or PE ?I live equidistant from Conn./AC.
Mostly playing at Revel but have rediscovered FW after a more than decade vaca from it. Decent comp and good supply of games that DO give pts. ! Also may now have a very good contact. Will see what perks I can get.
For those of you who are still going to MS and playing HEAVY on PE/Jacks what have been your experiences with this new program ?
Ahh maybe I’ll go watch Saints/Patriots

Strange how MS gave 18 points and couple of days later another 83 points.
Does this mean the joint once again welcomes VP players looking for a fair bet?Maybe soon time to visit the old haunt but flying to Vegas for a week at end of month. Have committed October/November.bankroll to that faraway land.
