Get 25 Free D$ for joining GHA DISCOVERY via Cheval Collection

If you are not a member Global Hotel Alliance’s DISCOVERY program yet you may want to join during the month of July. To celebrate the addition of Cheval Collection to GHA DISCOVERY, they are offering 25 free DISCOVERY Dollars when you join Cheval DISCOVERY (Which is GHA DISCOVERY). This offer is available from July 1 to 31.

Click here to learn more and to join DISCOVERY via Cheval. 

One DISCOVERY Dollar (D$) is worth US$1 so this is a pretty decent sign up bonus!  But you do have to be aware the 25 D$ bonus will expire 12 months from the date they are posted to your account. So if you have no stays planned with GHA over the next year it may not make sense to join right now just in case another offer comes up in the future that you can utilize.

Virgin Atlantic reward flights out of Canada not affected by the recent devaluation

Virgin Atlantic A330-900

 

If you follow or read any U.S. points and miles blogs or influencers you most likely saw the news that Virgin Atlantic significantly increased the fees paid on Flying Club reward tickets out of the U.S.. I did a quick check out of Toronto and did not see any increases to the fees on Flying Club reward tickets on the YYZ-LHR route so it seems last week’s change was strictly limited to U.S. departures.
