Will they be joining MLife?

I am assuming yes.

[Erin Micunt]

what does joining mlife mean? Does that mean totally new players cards? If so will existing comps be honored?

[Shizzmoney]

Looks as if Borgata is migrating into the MLife program (the MGM comp system).

I'll assume comps from the previous regime will be honored....but as for future years the comp system is always subject to change via casino policy.
