LHW Leaders Club Points Earning Calculator

Cost Currency

Select the currency used by the hotel — for example, if you are staying at a hotel in Tokyo, select Japanese Yen (JPY). The currency will be converted to USD for the points calculation. The actual exchange rate used by LHW may differ slightly from the rate used here, resulting in a small difference in estimated points.

Total Cost (excl. Tax)

Enter the total stay cost excluding taxes and fees, as shown on the hotel booking confirmation or invoice. Leaders Club points are earned on eligible room rates only — taxes and fees are excluded. Note: you must book through LHW channels (lhw.com, the LHW app, or the LHW call centre) to earn points. Bookings made through third-party sites such as online travel agencies, Virtuoso, or Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts typically do not earn Leaders Club points.

Total Cost (incl. Tax)

Enter the total stay cost including taxes and fees. This field is used for the return-on-spend calculation and for estimating credit card points earned on the total charge.

Status

Select your Leaders Club tier. All members earn a base rate of 1 point per $1 spent on eligible room rates.
Club — Entry level upon joining (free to join); no bonus on base points.
Sterling — Earned after spending $5,000 or more on room rates in a calendar year. Adds a 5% bonus on top of base points.

Offers

Active Leaders Club promotions will be listed here when available. Select the Custom Offer option to enter a new or targeted offer. You can choose from a fixed amount of bonus points per stay, per night, or a multiplier of the total base points.

Nights

This field only appears when needed to calculate points from an offer that is based on nights stayed.

Credit Card

Leaders Club is a transfer partner of Citi ThankYou Rewards. If you pay for your stay with an eligible Citi card, you can transfer the ThankYou Points earned on the hotel charge to Leaders Club at a 5:1 ratio (1,000 ThankYou Points = 200 Leaders Club points). The effective Leaders Club earning rates are:
Citi Strata Premier — Earns 3× ThankYou Points on travel, equivalent to 0.6 Leaders Club points per $1 spent.
Citi Strata Elite — Earns 1.5× ThankYou Points on all purchases, equivalent to 0.3 Leaders Club points per $1 spent.
These are calculated on the total spend including taxes and fees. Select No Credit Card if you are not transferring ThankYou Points. Occasional transfer bonuses (e.g. 25% extra) are not factored in — add any bonus points to the Extra Points field.

Extra Points

Use this field for any additional points not covered by the other fields — for example, a Citi ThankYou transfer bonus or a targeted offer.

Point Value

The assumed value of one Leaders Club point in US cents, used to convert your earned points into an estimated cash equivalent. The default of 8¢ per point reflects a reasonable redemption value. LHW uses dynamic pricing for award stays, so the actual value per point varies depending on the property, dates, and demand.

Not Included in the Calculator

Booking channel: Leaders Club points are only earned when booking through LHW’s own channels (lhw.com, the LHW app, or the call centre). The calculator assumes an eligible booking — if you booked through a third party, you may not earn any points.

Sterling status benefits: Beyond the 5% points bonus, Sterling members receive benefits such as room upgrades, early check-in, and late check-out. These non-points benefits are not reflected in the calculator.
