From Stays to Rewards: The Simplicity of Discovery Dollars!

🚀 When GHA Discovery was relaunched, one objective was to create an innovative loyalty currency. Just like their Local Experiences were groundbreaking in 2010, their new Discovery Dollars are also a game-changer! 💰

📱 Discovery Dollars are digital rewards members earn when they stay at GHA hotels. It’s very simple. Every stay earns up to 7% back in Discovery Dollars. And one Discovery Dollar equals one US dollar—no blackout dates, no restrictions! 🌟

🛏️ Members can use these dollars to reduce their next bill, share them with friends and family, or even donate them.
