As an MHI member you are rewarded Loyalty Points for participation and support of various MHI programs throughout the year. These points can be redeemed for a predetermined Rewards Package as well as determine position at our exhibit Space Draws for ProMat and MODEX.
At the beginning of each calendar year, companies will receive a Rewards Package based on the amount of points they have accumulated during the previous year. For example, points accumulated between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 will determine the Rewards Package for 2024. These packages offer discounted event registration as outlined below:
MHI Member companies can accumulate loyalty points through a variety of different avenues:
MHI Membership
All MHI Member companies will receive fifty (50) points for joining MHI if they have not been a member for the seven (7) previous years. Additionally, each MHI member company is credited with two hundred (200) points for being a current paid member in good standing with MHI for the current and previous year.
Early Membership Renewal
Any MHI member company who renews their membership for 2025 prior to December 31, 2024 will receive five (5) points in 2025 that will go towards the ProMat 2027 Space Draw.
Example:

What if I believe my company’s Loyalty Point total is incorrect?
Loyalty Points are calculated with great care and we believe they accurately reflect the status of each MHI Member company. However, if you believe your company’s point total is incorrect or there is an error please contact the MHI Membership Department at membership@mhi.org.
What happens at the end of the year to my Loyalty Points?
Point totals remain where they currently stand and the annual points earned start over at zero (0) each calendar year.
How can I check my point total?
Members can visit mhi.org/loyaltypoints to check their current total. If you do not know your user credentials, please contact the MHI Membership Department at membership@mhi.org.
What if I change companies during the year – which company gets the loyalty points I personally earned?
For in-person and virtual events, the company you are employed by at the time of the event will receive the loyalty points. For volunteer leadership positions, the company you were employed by for the majority of the year will receive the points. For specific questions, please contact the MHI Membership department at membership@mhi.org
Rewards Package
When will I know what my rewards are?
At the beginning of the year, Membership Packets will be mailed with point totals and corresponding Rewards Packages from the previous year. This is also available under the “For Members” portion of the mhi.org website.
How do I receive my rewards?
Every January, MHI Member companies will receive a Rewards Package outlining the amount of Loyalty Points they have accumulated over the past year and what they can be redeemed for.
How long do I have to use my rewards?
Each member company will receive their Rewards Package during the next calendar year and can use their points during that year.
Example: Points earned in 2023 will apply to their 2024 Rewards Package that can be redeemed January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024.
What happens if my company buys an additional booth, increases/reduces booth size, or buys new or additional advertising/sponsorship products?
Each company will receive full credit for any changes/additions that positively or negatively impact the point total. MHI updates each company’s Loyalty Point total quarterly as well as before each exhibit space draw.
What happens at the Space Draw if two companies tie in Loyalty Points?
If two or more companies tie in Loyalty Points, the date and time the completed lease is received by MHI will be the tie-breaker.
How are Parent Company and Divisional Company’s points handled in regards to position at the Space Draw?
The Company/Organization (parent or divisional) that has the highest total of Loyalty Points will have their total points combined with the total Exhibit Space points of any company/organization in their group to determine their position in the Space Draw. See example for clarification.
