But now there are “Personal Achievement” awards to boost your self-esteem. 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

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.

[vpFREE_NewEngland] RE: Momentum
I went to Mohegan sun yesterday mainly to see what the new reward program is all about.I played mainly video poker and received o status points and o momentum dollars so the new program is the same as the old they just changed the name.

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
