Shangri-La Circle Points Earning Calculator

Cost Currency

Select the currency used by the hotel — for example, if you are staying at a hotel in Hong Kong, select Hong Kong Dollars (HKD). The currency will be converted to USD for the points calculation. The actual exchange rate used by Shangri-La may differ 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 site or final invoice. Shangri-La Circle points are not earned on taxes and fees.

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 Shangri-La Circle membership tier. All members earn a base rate of 1 point per $1 spent. Your status adds a percentage bonus on top of the base points:
Gold — Entry level upon joining; no bonus on base points.
Jade — Adds a 25% bonus. Earned after 20 qualifying nights or 6,000 tier points in a year.
Diamond — Adds a 50% bonus. Earned after 50 qualifying nights or 15,000 tier points in a year.
Polaris — Adds a 50% bonus (same as Diamond). This is an invitation-only tier with additional non-points benefits.
The bonus applies to base hotel points only — promo points are not multiplied.

Offers

Active Shangri-La Circle promotions are listed here. Check any offer 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 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.

Extra Points

Use this field for any additional points not covered by the other fields.

Earn As

Shangri-La Circle lets you choose to earn airline miles instead of Circle points on each stay. If you select an airline partner, you will receive a flat amount of miles per stay (not per dollar or per night). The amount varies by partner. To earn airline miles, present your airline membership card at check-in. Select Shangri-La Circle Points to earn Circle points based on your spend instead.

Point Value

The default of 6.67¢ per point is based on the program’s fixed redemption rate of 15 points = $1 USD. When earning as airline miles, a separate point value field appears for the selected airline currency.

Not Included in the Calculator

Dining and spa earning: Shangri-La Circle points 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 points earned on room rates.

Point conversions to miles: In addition to the per-stay airline mile option above, Circle points can also be converted to airline miles after earning (generally at a 1:1 ratio, minimum 1,000 points). This post-earning conversion is not modelled in the calculator.
