Joining a hotel's free loyalty programme and booking direct is often the easiest hotel discount you can get. Dusit Gold takes 15% off year-round, Club H10 takes 5% off your first booking, and Anantara, Oberoi and COMO add member rates, rewards or a best-rate guarantee.

Which hotel loyalty programme gives the biggest discount?
Dusit Gold gives the clearest fixed discount: 15% off year-round when you book direct. Dusit's Advance Saver and Stay Longer rates can go further, up to 25% and 30% off.
Is it cheaper to book a hotel direct?
Often, yes. Member rates are usually only available direct, and best-rate guarantees protect you if you find the room cheaper elsewhere. Anantara's guarantee goes furthest: it matches a lower rate found within 24 hours and adds an extra 10% off, subject to terms.
Can I combine a loyalty rate with a promo code?
Sometimes. It depends on the hotel and the rate. Non-refundable and package rates often can't be combined, so compare the member rate with any promo code and pick the lower total.
Which programme suits which trip?
- Asia and the Middle East: Dusit Gold, with 15% off year-round, or Anantara DISCOVERY.
- India, Egypt and Nile cruises: Oberoi One.
- Spain, especially Barcelona and the Canary Islands: Club H10.
