Global Hotel Alliance DISCOVERY Loyalty Program Q+A Thread (ARCHIVE)
Just wanted to add my experience with GHA Discovery!
Had a stay coming up at the Anantara Al Jabal resort in Oman (which was AMAZING by the way) so I did a bit of digging.
Found out that I could get GHA Platinum level membership by signing up for a Business Traveller magazine subscription (£20 for a year). Did that in Feb 2018, and got GHA Platinum membership within 3 weeks, valid till Feb 2020.
My stay was great - got a free room upgrade (one level up), as well as a free soft drinks and snacks basket as a welcome amenity. I also got a late checkout at 2pm instead of 12pm, which came in very handy. Unfortunately, as I'd gotten Platinum not through the usual route, I didn't get any free Local Experiences to use during my stay.
I totally recommend getting GHA Platinum membership, as if you're going to be staying at some of the high end luxury resorts, as the free room upgrade pays for itself several times over by itself.
