GHA DISCOVERY has launched a Cyber Monday sale, which runs from 28-30 November 2022 for stays till 31 March 2023.
Stays booked during this period will be eligible for double Discovery Dollars (D$), as well as discounts of up to 40% off. This could potentially be useful to anyone looking for a last-minute status run to qualify/requalify for GHA status.

| GHA DISCOVERY Cyber Monday |
For the Cyber Monday sale, bookings made from 28 November 2022, 1 p.m SGT till 30 November 2022, 7 p.m SGT will be eligible for 2x D$.
A few points to note:
- No registration is necessary
- Bookings must be made via the GHA DISCOVERY website or GHA DISCOVERY app
- Stays must have a checkout date no later than 31 March 2023
- The promotional D$ awarded under this offer will be valid for six months, as opposed to the usual validity period
- All properties worldwide are participating, except Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam, Hotel Cafรฉ Royal London, Hotel Lutetia Paris, and Mamilla Hotel Jerusalem
Here’s how many D$ you can expect to earn on your stay, depending on your DISCOVERY tier.

| Platinum | 6% (24 mo.) |

| Titanium | 7% (24 mo.) |

As a reminder, D$ = US$1 at GHA properties worldwide. It’s currently only possible to use D$ during a stay, at the front desk of a hotel. You cannot redeem D$ online, nor can you spend them on F&B or spa treatments when not an in-house guest.
If you want to use D$ to pay for a prepaid rate, I suggest emailing the hotel beforehand to clarify how it’ll work. Anecdotally, I’ve booked “prepaid” rates at the Sindhorn Kempinski and other GHA hotels that weren’t charged until check-in, allowing me to use my D$ nonetheless.
For avoidance of doubt, this offer can be stacked with other ongoing GHA offers, including:
Up to 40% off stays
In addition to double D$, GHA is offering up to 40% off hotel stays at selected properties around the world.
This could be an opportunity to requalify for GHA status on the cheap. For example, I can see offers of 20% off at Anantara and Avani properties in Bangkok, which would give you two of the three brands you needed for Titanium. Other potential deals include 35% off Capella Ubud, and 30% off Kempinski Vienna- probably not status run territory, but nice hotels indeed!

| Platinum | 10 nights | 2 brands | US$5K |

Do note that rates booked under the Cyber Monday sale are strictly non-refundable.
Conclusion
From now till 30 November 2022, GHA DISCOVERY members can enjoy double D$ and up to 40% off stays.
If you need a last push to requalify for status, you’ll definitely want to explore the options available and book soon.
So far at checkout, they allow D$ to be used to pay for meals or room upgrades billed to room even though original booking fully prepaid by card.
Yup can. But cannot use outside of a stay…yet
