The GHA DISCOVERY Scavenger Hunt Promotion (the “Promotion”) is a global, gamified promotion sponsored by Global Hotel Alliance (“GHA”) designed to drive brand discovery, cross-brand exploration, and direct bookings across the GHA DISCOVERY portfolio. By participating in this Promotion, members agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Members must explicitly opt into the Promotion by registering via the official GHA DISCOVERY website (ghadiscovery.com) or the GHA DISCOVERY mobile application prior to their first qualifying stay or action.

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 the Privacy Policy.

To participate in the Promotion, members must register for the Promotion within the Promotional Registration Period (1 September 2026 - 31 October 2026) prior to their engagement actions or stay by clicking on the "Register" button on the designated website page.

The Promotion consists of an Instant Stay Reward and a Sweepstakes.

Instant Stay Reward: New Brand Bonus (D$50)

Members will earn a one-time fixed reward of D$50 in “Promotional D$” for completing an eligible stay at a GHA DISCOVERY brand portfolio property that they have not yet visited or stayed at during the calendar year 2026. Once they are registered as being opted in, members must then book on the GHA DISCOVERY website or app or through a GHA hotel brand’s website or app and must complete an eligible stay of two sequential nights or more during the Promotional Stay Period (1 September 2026 - 31 October 2026) at a GHA DISCOVERY brand property that they have not yet stayed at during the calendar year 2026.

This is a one-time bonus per member per brand. Additional subsequent stays at the same brand or alternative properties within that same brand will not trigger additional D$50 rewards.

The eligible stays must be completed, and the member must be checked out on or before 31 October 2026 for the stays to be considered towards the promotion. Ongoing stays with a checkout date after 31 October 2026 will not be considered towards the promotion and, consequently, will not receive Promotional D$ for that stay under the Promotion.

EXCLUSIONS

Eligible stays made prior to Registration will not be considered as qualified eligible stays towards the promotion, even if they are in the Promotional Stay period.

Bookings made prior to 1 September 2026 will not be considered towards the promotion.

Stays that are not booked on the GHA DISCOVERY website or app or on the hotel brand’s website or app will not receive Promotional D$.

A qualified eligible stay under the Promotion must be a stay that meets the conditions above and is not at an Ineligible Rate (defined below) and which has a minimum length of two nights and is booked on the GHA website and app or through the hotel brand’s website or app. Bookings made through other channels will not be rewarded. Bookings that include multiple rooms will be counted and considered as a single stay and rewarded only once.

Promotional D$ issued under the Promotion are awarded in addition to the Base D$ that are issued to the member as a result of completing the eligible promotional multi brand 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$ under this Promotion. "Ineligible Rates" shall include, without limitation: (1) third-party online retail rates, such as stays booked through Expedia.com, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz.com, Priceline, Travelocity.com, etc. (“OTAs”) (2) rates for hotel rooms sold to customers (whether as part of a travel and hotel package or separately) by a tour operator such as Kuoni, TUI, Emirates Holidays, British Airways Holidays etc (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. First stays on Ineligible Rates may receive DISCOVERY Dollars, but these stays will not count towards tier qualification nor will they be counted as stays for the purposes of the Promotion; subsequent stays on an Ineligible Rate will not receive D$ nor will they count towards tier qualification nor will they be counted as stays for the purposes of the Promotion.

Any member account flagged for artificial entry velocity or non-compliant behaviour will be disqualified and deleted instantly.
