Read our reviews of some of the GHA DISCOVERY hotels:

This offer may be of interest to travellers who intend to stay at GHA DISCOVERY hotels between now and the end of 2025. Despite the application fee, the benefits of this status are very attractive, especially considering that Titanium status can be obtained quite easily with a Visa Infinite credit card. The benefits of GHA DISCOVERY’s Platinum and Titanium statuses are similar to those of the Marriott Bonvoy statuses of the same name, and when used properly, their value easily equates to hundreds of dollars saved each year (perhaps even thousands for frequent travellers).

Reaching hotel or airline status can be difficult due to eligibility criteria. With this offer from GHA DISCOVERY, reaching the highest status becomes much easier in order to enjoy excellent benefits at hotel brands participating in the program. The important thing before completing the application and paying the status match fee is to ensure that your travel plans between now and the end of 2025 include stays at these hotels.
