It has been rebranded Mlife. You earn 1 point for free play for every $10 through in VP, and 1 point extra for every $7.50 at the highest tier, which represents 2 million through in a year. You also earn points for comps. You have to play within 12 months or the points expire. When I get conversion ratios, I'll post them. My guess is this won't improve freeplay.
New MGM Players Club Program
I was immediately given Platinum level based on past play history, I guess. My experience was that you earn points at the higher 1 point for each $7.50 coin in for Platinum. These are not an extra point grant. When you play, the points accrue at the standard $10 = 1 point rate. After you pull your card and reinsert it, they add the extra points to make the $7.50 = 1 point TOTAL figure.

My wife and I had joint accounts with MGM. We both are
Platinum based on previous play.
The cashback rate for VP has been reduced drastically from
.22% previously. Now at the lower tiers it is .1% and only
.133% for Platinum players. For slot players the cut is
less drastic. Previously the slot rate was .66%.
The new rate will be .5% for the lower tiers up to .66%
for Platinum.
The comp. rate is $.02 per point which comes to double the
cashback rate.
The above figures are from a brochure I received in today's mail.
G'luck all,

Was wondering did they start you right @ 200k Platinum?

With the booklet we both received today explaining the new program, they included a Platinum card for each of us (with the same number as our old card). So I am assuming that they are looking back at our play history - how far back I don't know. But we have played off and on at several MGM properties, sometimes fairly heavily, for many years.

I haven't seen the booklet yet, but according to the FAQ section on mlife.come "In Las Vegas M life Players Club casinos, receive 10 Tier Credits for every $2 of coin-in on reel and video slot machines or $10 of coin-in on video poker and specialty games."
This would mean just $200,000 coin-in on video poker is required to earn the Platinum status.
In my own case, I recently did about $423,000 coin-in on vp (never played at MGM before), have over 1,000,000 tier points and a high Platinum status. I don't know at what rate I got there, but won't complain.
But you get the Platinum tier at $200,000 not $2 million the tier credits for VP are 10 tier credits for every $10 VP, 200,000 tier points in platinum
