You can earn booster packs, experience, and cosmetics through a number of active Magic: The Gathering Arena codes.

Wizards of the Coast will offer players three free booster packs via MTG Arena with each Standard-legal set release. The free booster packs used to have a code but are now offered in a player’s mailbox within MTG Arena. Players can also cash in on active cosmetic and experience codes, along with a special promo code pack from playing Friday Night Magic.

Codes are also available upon playing prerelease events when a new set comes out, located on an ad card within a prerelease kit. A code from a prerelease kit provides a player with free booster packs for MTG Arena. Players are only allowed to enter one prerelease code per set, though. Similar codes can also be acquired through alternative promotions at WPN stores or through promo packs. And players can earn cosmetic codes through the purchase of some Secret Lair products. The most recent Standard-legal set released by WotC at time of writing is Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
