Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) Discovery program members collect Discovery Dollars (D$) that they should use to pay folio expenses while staying at one of the GHA participating hotels.
Many members have faced the issue of being unable to use them for prepaid rates; hence, they need to book a higher rate to redeem D$.
You can access GHA’s page to pay with points here.
Some GHA-participating brands now allow you to use D$ during the booking process. The minimum part payment is D$10.
Brands that allow you to book on GHA’s website and simultaneously pay with points:
Lore Group – all hotels
Paramount Hotels – all hotels
The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts – all hotels
The Set – Hotel Cafe Royal
Cinnamon Hotels – all hotels
Divani Collection – all hotels
The Sukhothai – all hotels
Viceroy Hotel & Resorts – all hotels
Shaza Hotels – all hotels
Mysk by Shaza – all hotels
MAQO – all hotels
Marco Polo Hotels – all hotels
Niccolo Hotels – all hotels
Capella Hotels & Resorts – all hotels
Sun International – all hotels
Lungarno Collection – all hotels
The Doyle Collection – The Dupont Circle
Conclusion
The goal must be to allow GHA Discovery members to use their earned D$ for stays at ALL participating hotels, not just the ones above.
We have had some comments from readers who have faced difficulties using them, as some properties have only had prepaid rates available for bookings through GHA channels.
This wouldn’t be a huge issue, but some of the promotional D$ expire quite soon after they are earned, making using them problematic.
