Spending Your DISCOVERY Dollars
Your D$ are yours to spend however you like to enhance your travel experience. Please note that you need a minimum of D$10 to make a redemption.
- At Check-Out: Simply apply your D$ towards your hotel bill at check-out to cover room charges, dining, spa treatments, golf, and curated Experiences. Just let the front desk know you would like to use your D$ to settle your bill.
- Online Booking (Pay with D$): You can seamlessly apply your D$ at the booking stage to pay for your room directly through the GHA DISCOVERY website or app at participating hotels.
- Local Dining: You can earn and pay with D$ towards dining at participating restaurants in locations like London, Sri Lanka, Dubai, and across the Middle East.
More Ways to Use Your D$
If you are not using your rewards for a stay or hotel service, you have other flexible options:
- Transfer to Family and Friends: You can transfer between D$100 and D$500 to another GHA DISCOVERY member via our app. You can transfer up to twice a day, provided both the sending and receiving accounts have been active for at least 90 days.
- Donate to Charity: You can use your D$ to support charitable causes covering animal welfare, environmental protection, healthcare, and children's programmes, where D$1 donated equals USD 1.
(Due to local regulations, the Donate D$ feature is unavailable to residents and visitors in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.) - Buy D$: You can purchase additional D$ to lock in rewards for future getaways, which remain valid for two years.
You can track your live D$ balance, transactions, and expiry dates at any time by viewing your member dashboard on the GHA DISCOVERY app or website.
