Terms and conditions

Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:

The “Keep it app” GHA DISCOVERY App Booking Promotion (the “Promotion”) applies to eligible stays at all GHA DISCOVERY hotels by members who have booked their stay via the GHA DISCOVERY app. The Promotion allows members to earn a bonus of Five Promotional DISCOVERY Dollars (D$5) on completed eligible stays, in addition to the Base DISCOVERY Dollars earned on that completed stay.

To take advantage of the promotion, participants must be a member of the GHA DISCOVERY programme and must have accepted the GHA DISCOVERY programme Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy

Not a member yet? Join GHA DISCOVERY.

Don’t have the GHA DISCOVERY App? Download Here. 

Participation conditions

To avail of the offer, members must complete a qualified eligible booking via the GHA DISCOVERY app within the promotional period  (1 January 2025 – 31 December 2025) and complete the eligible stay related to that booking within the required stay period (1 January 2025 00:00 Central European Time (CET) – 31 December 2025 23:59 Central European Time (CET)). The eligible stay must be completed and the member must be checked out on or before 31 December 2025 for Promotional D$ to be awarded. Ongoing stays with a checkout date after 31 December 2025 will not receive Promotional D$.

Bookings that include multiple rooms will be counted and considered as a single stay and rewarded only once. Only bookings completed via the GHA DISCOVERY app will be eligible. 

Consecutive stays with the same check-in date as the last check-out date at the same property will not receive Promotional D$. 

 “Ineligible rates” (defined below) do not qualify for earning Promotional D$. Stays that are booked prior to the promotional dates will not be awarded Promotional D$.

Promotional D$ are awarded in addition to the Base D$ that are issued as a result of completing the eligible stay. Promotional D$ are subject to a limited expiry term of six (6) months from the date of issuance and are therefore excluded from the Base D$ expiration rules. Any Base D$ earned on a member’s stay will be subject to expiration based on standard tier-based expiration rules.

“Ineligible rates” do not qualify for earning Promotional D$. “Ineligible Rates” shall include, without limitation: (1) third-party online retailer rates, such as Expedia.com, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz.com, Priceline, Travelocity.com, etc. (“OTAs”) (2) tours series rates and charter rates (3) room rates for airline staff and crew where rooms are pre-booked and paid for by the airline or directly; (4) travel-industry staff rates; (5) other discounted rates; (6) any complimentary, free, traded or bartered night stays, or any stays in connection with gift certificates or other awards or vouchers. (7) wholesale or corporate rates. First stays on ineligible rates may receive DISCOVERY Dollars on a promotional basis, but these stays will not count towards tier qualification; subsequent stays on an ineligible rate will not receive D$ nor will they count towards tier qualification. 

This offer is subject to change or withdrawal without notice, cannot be transferred or exchanged for other forms of compensation, cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion unless explicitly stated and is subject to availability. D$ are not redeemable for cash.

GHA DISCOVERY membership, earnings, and redemption are subject to the programme Terms & Conditions
