Out with the old, in with the new

When Penn Play acquired Pinnacle Gaming in 2018, it decided to replace the existing mychoice Loyalty Rewards program with its own program.

Introducing the new program, Penn Cash, where players can now redeem their rewards throughout all of Penn’s brands and properties, just like earning them. Additionally, a brand-new website and app have been launched, allowing players to conveniently register and instantly earn $50 in Penn Cash.

• You can receive $10 by downloading the Penn Play rewards app.
• You will receive $15 when you connect your Penn Play account to a slot or table game using the app.
• When you create a Penn Wallet account, you will receive $25 in Penn Cash.

In addition, Penn is holding extra drawings until June 6, offering the chance to win hundreds of thousands of dollars.

• Throughout the month of May, we will be conducting daily drawings where we will select 100 lucky winners. Each winner will have the opportunity to win up to $2,000 in Penn Cash.
• Every week, 100 additional winners have the chance to win up to $25,000 in Penn Cash. On top of that, the winners from fifth to first place will also be rewarded with 25,000 Choice Hotels points. To make it even more exciting, the first-place winner will receive a luxurious 7-day Norwegian Cruise Line cruise.
• We are excited to announce the grand prize drawing which will take place on June 6th. In this drawing, an additional 100 lucky individuals will have the chance to win up to $100,000 in Penn Cash. Furthermore, the top five winners will be rewarded with 100K Choice Hotels points, while the ultimate grand prize winner will be treated to a luxurious Haven Cruise aboard the prestigious Norwegian Cruise Line.

More upgrades

Penn developed a marketplace within the latest application, enabling users to exchange gifts and receive rewards for in-app purchases. Additionally, the app will incorporate advanced 3 C’s technology, allowing for transactions without the need for physical cards, cash, or contact.

In addition, players will be able to enjoy sign-up incentives for the Penn Entertainment Mastercard, as well as exclusive benefits from Live Nation and Choice Hotels.

The updated program introduces five loyalty tiers: Play, Advantage, Preferred, Elite, and Owners Club.

Penn Heroes, formerly known as the myhero program, was ultimately rebranded. This program aims to pay tribute to the military, veterans, and first responders while offering them additional perks and discounts. As a part of the revamp, all program members are now entitled to an automatic tier upgrade.
