First, a quick mention: <a href=\"https:\/\/ghadiscovery.statusmatch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">their status match campaign<\/a> is open again, but since it requires payment we won\u2019t spend too much time on it. Honestly, if you\u2019re eligible, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2024\/01\/09\/instant-gha-titanium-status-with-mastercard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">the free Mastercard route<\/a> (in Asia-Pacific) is still probably the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/gha-titanium.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/gha-titanium.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/gha-titanium.png 500w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/01\/gha-titanium-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Points Sale<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/points-gha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">GHA\u2019s points sales<\/a> have basically become a regular occurrence at this point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Buy D$ by June 2 and receive a 15% discount<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase amounts range from D$10 to D$5,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Accor, GHA points are pegged directly to the US dollar at a fixed value, so aside from currency fluctuations there\u2019s really no concept of devaluation or appreciation. If you already have stays planned, buying points can make sense (I don\u2019t remember seeing a discount better than 15% off before), though keep in mind that D$ comes with a strict two-year expiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minor Anniversary Promotion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor Hotels is also running a pretty interesting anniversary promotion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Book by August 31<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay by September 30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Earn triple points plus D$25 on each of your first two stays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If they are from two different brands, receive an extra D$50<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor\u2019s brands include Anantara, Avani, Tivoli, NH, Minor, Oaks, iStay, The Wolseley, and Elewana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With just two stays, you\u2019re already looking at triple points (effectively a 15% rebate) plus another D$100 in bonuses. If you can find some cheap stays to trigger the offer, the return could actually be very attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ghadiscovery.com\/promotions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">There are also plenty of other stackable promotions<\/a> running at the same time: D$5 for app bookings, D$30 bonuses at NH properties in Paris, double points for stays in Europe and the Americas, and so on. You might as well just register for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blacklane Partnership<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/2025\/05\/24\/hilton-launches-partnership-with-didi-in-china-status-match-lounge-access-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Following Hilton\u2019s partnership with DiDi<\/a>, GHA has now teamed up with German premium chauffeur service company Blacklane as well. The most relevant part for us is that during 2026, GHA Gold members and above can enjoy various Blacklane benefits. Titanium members, for example, receive a 5% discount along with five US$25 vouchers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27413\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane.png 800w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane-520x292.png 520w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/05\/gha-blacklane-720x404.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The partnership officially launched on May 8, and members are supposedly receiving emails explaining how to activate the benefits, but I haven\u2019t received anything at all. Maybe it\u2019s my email settings issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, Blacklane rides can also earn GHA status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 ride: Gold<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 rides: Platinum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11 rides: Titanium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, 11 rides doesn\u2019t even sound that difficult\u2026 though I can only say that because I have absolutely no idea how expensive Blacklane actually is. Even with those US$25 vouchers, I suspect I still wouldn\u2019t be able to afford it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With hotel promotions popping up everywhere lately, today feels like a good time for a dedicated post about GHA.
