Shangri-La's Golden Circle (Club) is a loyalty program and does not earn you miles towards free stays. What you get are 'additional' services,late checkout, upgrades etc. There are 3 tiers. Each tier does give you better benefits and the higher the tier, the more you can earn on your airline programme. Classic members, earn basic points (say United - 500points), the next tier earns you additional 125% and the top tier can be as high as double.

Shangri-La hotels are currently mostly in Asia and one in Vancouver, Canada.
