GHA Discovery Points Earning Calculator
How to use the GHA Discovery Earn Calculator
GHA Discovery uses Discovery Dollars (D$) instead of traditional points. Each D$1 is worth exactly US$1, and your earning rate is a percentage of your room spend — effectively cashback on hotel stays.
Cost Currency
Select the currency used by the hotel — for example, if you are staying at a hotel in Dubai, select UAE Dirhams (AED). The currency will be converted to USD for the D$ calculation. The actual exchange rate used by GHA may differ slightly from the rate used here, resulting in a small difference in estimated D$.
Total Cost (excl. Tax)
Enter the total stay cost excluding taxes and fees, as shown on the hotel booking site or final invoice. D$ are earned on the pre-tax room rate only — taxes, service fees, and tips are excluded.
Total Cost (incl. Tax)
Enter the total stay cost including taxes and fees. This field is used for the return-on-spend calculation.
Status
Select your GHA Discovery membership tier. Your tier determines the percentage of qualifying spend earned back as D$:
Silver — 4% back. Entry level upon joining (free to join).
Gold — 5% back. Earned after 2 stays or $1,000 spend in a year.
Platinum — 6% back. Earned after 10 nights, $5,000 spend, or stays at 2 brands.
Titanium — 7% back. Earned after 30 nights, $15,000 spend, or stays at 3 brands.
Offers
Active GHA Discovery promotions are listed here. GHA runs frequent brand-specific and regional D$ promotions — check any offer you have registered for and that applies to your stay. Deadlines and stay windows are shown where applicable. Select the Custom Offer option to enter a new or targeted offer. You can choose from a flat D$ bonus per stay, per night, or a multiplier of your total D$ earned.
Nights
This field only appears when needed to calculate D$ from an offer that is based on nights stayed.
Extra D$
Use this field for any additional D$ not covered by the other fields — for example, a targeted email offer or app booking bonus.
D$ Value
Each D$1 is worth exactly US$1.00. This is a fixed value and cannot be changed. D$ can be redeemed at checkout to reduce your bill — they can be applied towards the base room rate, room upgrades, dining, spa, and other eligible charges. D$ cannot be used towards taxes, service fees, or tips.
Not Included in the Calculator
Non-room earning: D$ can also be earned on eligible dining and spa spend at participating hotels. These on-property earning categories are not included — the calculator only estimates D$ earned on room rates.
D$ expiry: D$ expire after 12 months for Silver, 18 months for Gold, and 24 months for Platinum and Titanium members. Promotional D$ expire after 6 months. Expiry is not factored into the calculator.
