Get double DISCOVERY Dollars, up to 14%, with Global Hotel Alliance

GHA DISCOVERY, the loyalty scheme for Kempinksi, NH, Anantara, Corinthia and 45+ other hotel chains, is running a generous ‘double DISCOVERY Dollars’ promotion.

For stays booked and completed between 1st April and 31st May 2026, you will earn double the base level of DISCOVERY Dollars for stays in Europe and North America.

This means:

• a Silver (entry level) member gets 8% back
• a Gold member gets 10% back

• a Platinum member gets 12% back
• a Titanium member gets 14% back

This is all based on pre-tax spending.

You can earn the bonus on up to two rooms per stay.

It is laughably easy to earn elite status with Global Hotel Alliance and increase your earning rate. Top tier status requires you to stay at just three different brands during a year, so it can be earned in as little as three nights.

Here is the full list of benefits online but in summary:

• Silver is the entry level, given to you immediately when you sign-up. It gets you access to member-only rates, free internet and 4% back in DISCOVERY Dollars.

• Gold requires just two stays or $1,000 of spending but has no real additional benefits, except that your cashback increases to 5%

• Platinum is the mid-tier status given after 10 nights in a year or $5,000 of spending or, more easily, staying at two different brands.  Platinum gives you extra benefits on top – an upgrade to the next room category, a local amenity, 3pm late check-out and 6% back in DISCOVERY Dollars.

• Titanium status requires 30 nights, $15,000 of spending or, far more easily, staying at three different brands. You receive an 11am check-in if available, 4pm late check-out if available, a double upgrade, free breakfast at selected brands, a welcome amenity and 7% back in DISCOVERY Dollars.

1 DISCOVERY Dollar is worth $1 towards your hotel bill at check-out. Some hotels allow D$ to be used when booking a pre-paid rate.

You must register for the ‘double dollars’ promotion via this page of the GHA website.

The ‘bonus’ DISCOVERY Dollars have an expiry period of just six months. Use them or lose them. Your ‘base’ DISCOVERY Dollars have the usual expiry period of 12, 18 or 24 months, depending on your tier in the programme. London-based readers can redeem for meals at The Wolseley and its sister restaurants as we reviewed here.

PS. Remember that some GHA properties such as Sea Containers and 100 Shoreditch are taking part in the current Amex Stays ‘£75 cashback on a £300 spend’ promotion, and these two offers would double up
