GHA DISCOVERY: D$30 at Check-In and D$50 on 2-Night Stays at Minor Hotels Until January 31, 2027
GHA DISCOVERY pays D$30 at check-in on a first Minor Hotels stay booked by December 7, 2026, on top of D$50 per eligible stay of 2 nights or more.
The GHA DISCOVERY program is paying a 50 DISCOVERY Dollar (D$) 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." Since October 8, 2026, a second offer also pays D$30 at check-in on your first eligible stay, even a single night.
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$50 Bonus
There are four steps, in this order:
- Register for the promotion on the dedicated GHA DISCOVERY page using the "Register" button. A booking made before you register does not count.
- Between September 24 and November 30, 2026, book a stay of at least 2 consecutive nights through an eligible channel.
- Stay at a participating hotel.
- Check out by January 31, 2027. A stay with a checkout date after that earns no promotional D$.
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
New: D$30 at Check-In on Your First Minor Hotels Stay
Since October 8, 2026, GHA DISCOVERY has been running a second promotion at Minor Hotels. Register, then book direct between October 8 and December 7, 2026, and you'll receive D$30 (US$30) as soon as you check in, for a stay completed by January 31, 2027. You can spend the D$30 right away on your bill for that same stay when you check out.
- Eligible brands: Anantara, Avani, Tivoli, iStay, Colbert Collection, nhow, NH Collection and NH Hotels & Resorts. Oaks is not part of this offer, even though it counts for the D$50 bonus.
- No minimum stay: a single night qualifies.
- One stay per member: only your first eligible stay after registering earns the D$30.
- Short shelf life: any D$30 you don't use at checkout expires 1 month after it is issued.
- Separate registration: this offer needs its own registration, on top of the one for the D$50 bonus.
To target both offers on the same stay, register for each one and book between October 8 and November 30, 2026, the only stretch when both booking windows are open. A 2-night stay can then earn up to D$80 in bonuses, on top of your base D$. GHA DISCOVERY's terms rule out combining offers unless explicitly stated, so don't count on the second bonus until it shows up in your account.
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.
Beyond room nights, the GHA DISCOVERY program also offers on-site activities: our look at GHA DISCOVERY experiences breaks down what they're worth. To compare with other chains, browse our directory of loyalty programs.
You can also buy D$ without booking a night: until November 19, 2026, GHA DISCOVERY sells them at US$0.85 each, and our article on buying GHA DISCOVERY D$ breaks down that 15% discount.
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. To catch hotel promotions like this one, sign up for our newsletter or follow our hotel news.
Register for the D$30 check-in offer too: it applies to your first eligible Minor Hotels stay, even a single night, booked direct by December 7, 2026. Spend the D$30 on your bill for that same stay, since it expires 1 month after it is issued.
