Additionally, Marriott and MGM have announced a new points transfer system. Under the new scheme, 10 MGM points can be converted into 8 Marriott points and vice versa. However, this results in a loss in each direction. A minimum of 1,000 points must be converted per transaction, with an annual cap of 30,000 points.

Meanwhile, questions have been raised about the continued existence of an old terminal at Newark Airport and a defunct tunnel toll plaza in New York City. Public sentiment remains unclear.
