GHA DISCOVERY: Earn a D$50 Bonus on 2-Night Stays at Minor Hotels Until January 31, 2027
Share

The GHA DISCOVERY program is paying a 50 DISCOVERY Dollar (D$) bonus on eligible stays of at least 2 consecutive nights at Minor Hotels properties, as long as you register for the promotion and then book direct between September 24 and November 30, 2026. The stay must be completed, checkout included, by January 31, 2027.

Since D$1 equals US$1, the bonus covers a good chunk of a night at an Avani, NH or Oaks hotel. It comes on top of the base D$ the program already awards on every completed stay. GHA calls the offer the "Minor Hotels Mega Reward."

What the GHA DISCOVERY Minor Hotels Promotion Pays

From September 24 to November 30, 2026, a registered GHA DISCOVERY member receives D$50 in promotional D$ after checking out of each eligible stay of 2 or more consecutive nights at a participating Minor Hotels property. That D$50, worth US$50, can then be applied to a future eligible stay in the network.

Promotional D$ follow different rules from base D$. They expire 6 months after they are issued, while base D$ follow the standard expiry rules tied to your tier. Plan the stay where you'll spend them before you book the one that earns them.

How to Earn the D$50 Bonus

There are four steps, in this order:

  1. Register for the promotion on the dedicated GHA DISCOVERY page using the "Register" button. A booking made before you register does not count.
  2. Between September 24 and November 30, 2026, book a stay of at least 2 consecutive nights through an eligible channel.
  3. Stay at a participating hotel.
  4. Check out by January 31, 2027. A stay with a checkout date after that earns no promotional D$.

These booking channels qualify:

  • The GHA DISCOVERY app or ghadiscovery.com
  • Minor brand websites: minorhotels.com, anantara.com, avanihotels.com, nh-hotels.com, tivolihotels.com and oakshotels.com
  • Directly with the hotel, by phone, email or its official channels

These rates do not earn promotional D$:

  • Online travel agencies: Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Priceline and similar sites
  • Tour operators: tour series and charter rates
  • Industry rates: travel-industry staff, and airline crew rooms booked and paid for by the airline
  • Corporate and wholesale rates
  • Free nights: complimentary, traded or bartered nights, and stays paid with gift certificates, awards or vouchers
  • Other discounted rates

Pitfalls to Avoid

The terms close several loopholes. Back-to-back stays at the same hotel, where the check-in date matches the previous checkout date, count as a single stay. A booking with multiple rooms also counts as a single stay. If two stays overlap, the bonus applies to only one of them.

The promotion can't be combined with other offers unless explicitly stated. It can be changed or withdrawn without notice, and blackout dates may apply. D$ can never be redeemed for cash.

Is It Worth It for Canadian Travellers?

Yes, especially at a mid-priced hotel. On a US$100 room, a 2-night stay costs about US$200 before taxes, so the D$50 works out to a deferred discount of roughly 25%. At a large Anantara resort the same bonus matters much less, though it still adds up on a multi-stop trip.

D$ are pegged to the US dollar and hotels often bill in local currency, so pay with a card that charges no foreign transaction fees. Our ranking of the best credit cards in Canada can help you pick one.

Bottom Line

Register now if a Minor Hotels stay of 2 nights or more is on your calendar before January 31, 2027. Book direct by November 30, 2026, never through an online travel agency, and plan to use your D$50 within 6 months of receiving it.

How much does the GHA DISCOVERY Minor Hotels promotion pay?

It pays D$50 in promotional D$ on an eligible stay of at least 2 consecutive nights. Since D$1 equals US$1, the bonus is worth US$50 toward a future stay in the network. It comes on top of the stay's base D$.

What are the promotion dates?

Registration and booking run from September 24 to November 30, 2026. The stay must take place between September 24, 2026 and January 31, 2027, checkout included.

Do I need to register?

Yes. Click the Register button on the promotion page before you book. A booking made before registering, or before September 24, 2026, does not count.

Which hotels are eligible?

Anantara, Avani, NH Hotels, NH Collection, nhow, iStay, Colbert Collection, Oaks and Tivoli properties participate. The stay must be at least 2 consecutive nights at the same hotel.

Can I book through Expedia or Booking.com?

No. Online travel agency rates such as Expedia, Booking.com or Hotels.com are excluded. Book through the GHA DISCOVERY app or website, a Minor brand website or directly with the hotel.

When does the D$50 expire?

Promotional D$ expire 6 months after they are issued. Base D$ earned on the same stay follow the standard expiry rules tied to your tier instead.

Do two back-to-back stays at the same hotel earn two bonuses?

No. Two stays at the same hotel where the check-in date matches the previous checkout date count as one stay. A booking with multiple rooms also counts as one stay, and overlapping stays earn only one bonus.
