Who Should Get the MGM Rewards Iconic World Elite Mastercard?

The MGM Rewards Iconic World Elite Mastercard fits people who spend most on hotels (6x) and dining (2x). Its $249 annual fee makes sense if the $230 a year in credits Creddy lists, plus what you earn, covers it with credits you would use anyway.

Is the MGM Rewards Iconic World Elite Mastercard Worth the $249 Annual Fee?

The MGM Rewards Iconic World Elite Mastercard costs $249 a year. Creddy lists 2 trackable credits worth up to $230 a year if you use every one, which leaves $19 of the fee for rewards and perks to cover. Count only the credits you would use anyway. Credits that need a spending threshold are not counted.

Check enrollment requirements, merchant restrictions, reset timing and the issuer's current terms before applying.
