Sunway Hotels & Resorts: A Hidden Gem for GHA DISCOVERY Members
Sunway Hotels & Resorts may not ring a bell for international travelers, but for many Singaporeans, it’s a familiar name, especially among those who frequently visit Malaysia. With a growing presence in the hotel industry, Sunway has now joined GHA DISCOVERY, a major loyalty program, which expands its appeal and offers enticing rewards for members.
An Exciting New Partnership
In September 2024, Sunway Hotels announced its plans to join GHA DISCOVERY, and this partnership has officially launched. To commemorate this milestone, GHA DISCOVERY members can now earn 2X D$ on all hotel bookings made through their platform. This promotion is valid until April 30, 2026, allowing plenty of time for members to take advantage of the extra rewards.
Sunway Hotels is now part of GHA DISCOVERY
While Sunway Hotels may not boast luxury or high-end amenities, they provide a practical and budget-friendly option for travelers. For GHA DISCOVERY members, this partnership represents a chance to maximize their potential rewards, especially for those looking to qualify for elite status within the GHA DISCOVERY tier system.
Earning D$ at Sunway Hotels & Resorts
Currently, GHA DISCOVERY members can earn 2X D$ on stays across 12 Sunway properties in Malaysia, as well as locations in Cambodia and Vietnam. To participate, members must register for the promotion through the GHA website by September 30, 2025. After registering, any stays completed by April 30, 2026 will qualify for this double D$ offering.
No Strings Attached
One of the most appealing aspects of this promotion is its simplicity:
- No minimum spend required: Whether staying for one night or ten, each stay counts.
- No cap on earnings: There’s no limit to how many times you can benefit from this offer—stay multiple times, and bucks stack up!
- Booking platforms: Be sure to book directly through the GHA DISCOVERY website or the official Sunway hotels website to earn your rewards.
The D$ earned include the base 1X D$, which means members will enjoy a rebate ranging from 8-14% of their stay, depending on their tier.
| GHA DISCOVERY Tier | Base D$ (validity) | Bonus D$ (validity) |
|---|---|---|
| Silver | 4% (12 mo.) | 4% (12 mo.) |

Extra Rewards for App Bookings
Beyond the 2X D$ promotion, GHA DISCOVERY is also running a bonus offer for members who book through the GHA DISCOVERY app. From January 1 to June 30, 2025, guests will receive an additional D$5 for their bookings. This means there’s no need for registration, and the process is straightforward.
Key points to remember:
- Stay dates must be between January 1 and June 30, 2025.

A Bonus Offer for Frequent Stays
Additionally, GHA DISCOVERY members can earn up to a D$150 bonus for completing stays between January 1 and June 30, 2025. This offer is structured to reward frequent travelers:
- 1st stay: No bonus
- 2nd stay: D$25 bonus
- 3rd stay: D$50 bonus
- 4th stay: D$75 bonus
Each of these stays must be a minimum of two nights to qualify, and bookings must be made via the GHA DISCOVERY app or website.
How Does D$ Work?
Understanding the GHA DISCOVERY D$ (dollars) is quite simple: D$1 is equivalent to US$1 at GHA properties. Members can earn or redeem these dollars on various expenses during their stays. Here’s a brief breakdown:
Eligible Spend to Earn/Redeem D$:
- Room and Add-Ons: Charges for rooms, early/late check-ins, packages, etc.
- Food and Beverage: Dining at restaurants, bars, and room service.
- Non-room Spend: Spa services, golf, and experiences.
Remember, D$ can only be earned on stays booked through official channels.
Conclusion
With Sunway Hotels now integrated into the GHA DISCOVERY network, members can unlock exceptional rewards and opportunities for savings. It may not be the epitome of luxury, but it provides a unique chance for smart travelers to capitalize on their stays while working towards elite status in a relatively straightforward manner. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or planning your next getaway, free D$ can make any trip even more rewarding.
