Six Flags is pleased to offer free admission to all 40+ Six Flags parks when you purchase a 2026 Gold or Prestige Pass during the MVP Sale. Guests must visit and process at their home park before visiting any other Six Flags park.

Home park refers to the specific Six Flags park where a season pass or membership was initially purchased. For example, if a pass was bought at Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags St. Louis is considered the home park. Purchasing a season pass or membership at your home park is important because all passes and memberships need to be processed (used first) at the home park before it can be used at other parks. Pass Perks and specialty offers are only valid at a passholder’s home park.

A Gold or Prestige Season Pass is valid from the date it’s purchased through the end of the calendar year it’s purchased for. Season Passes are either paid in full at the time of purchase or at select parks that don’t have memberships, offer a Season Pass payment plan with an initial payment and pre-determined number of subsequent monthly payments. In either case, a season pass expires at the end of that season it was purchased for.

A Gold or Prestige Membership requires an initiation fee and first month’s payment at the time of purchase, with payments due for the following 11 months. Memberships will be continuous and may be cancelled after the first 12 months of validity have elapsed. Regardless of when a membership is purchased, it may be used for 12 months from the date of purchase and can continue across operating seasons and years.

All Park Passports grant passholders the opportunity to visit all 40+ Six Flags parks. New during the MVP Sale, 2026 Gold and Prestige Passes, as well as Gold and Prestige Memberships, include a free All Park Passport and access to all 40+ Six Flags parks through 2026.

Standard validity is typically 30 days. However, depending on the perk and the time of year, the validity may be shorter or longer. Be sure to check the expiration date in the description.

Pass Perks will be added to Season Passes at midnight on the last day of each month. Loading can take between 24 to 72 hours, depending on the month and the number of active rewards.

You will receive Perks based on the number of visits you make by the end of the month. For example, if you visit four times, you will earn the Perk associated with four visits. If there are multiple Perks listed for a certain number of visits, you will receive each one of them.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the rewards offered in previous years. This year, we are simplifying our rewards by providing Passholders with additional discounts on food, beverages, retail, games, and tickets. This change will give you greater flexibility in how and where you can use your rewards. Additionally, you can look forward to occasional perks on individual items—be sure to check the Pass Perks homepage for updates.

*Guests who utilize a Bring-a-Friend ticket must be accompanied by a valid Season Passholder. Perks cannot be transferred amongst Passholders and cannot be re-issued or redeemed after the expiration date. Perks have specific restrictions and disclaimers, so be sure to read the offer description carefully.
