The Discovery program of the Global Hotel Alliance makes perfect sense, especially because you can achieve top elite status by staying at just three different brands (out of nearly 50). In addition to other benefits, you also earn 7% of your spending as Discovery Dollars. Until the end of September, there is also a promotion for double points.
When redeeming, there is also full transparency, as one point/Discovery Dollar simply has a redemption value of 1 USD.
It is therefore all the more surprising that the program regularly offers discounts on the purchase of points – as is currently the case until September 01. So now you get points with a 15% discount, which is equivalent to a direct reduction on the costs of your hotel stay.
If you are certain that you can redeem these points within two years before they expire at any Global Hotel Alliance hotels, you should definitely take advantage of this. You can acquire up to 5,000 points under this promotion.
