in

Stay at any participating Shangri-La hotel, resort, Kerry hotel, JEN hotel, or Traders hotel between 01 May 2021 and 31 July 2021 to enjoy double elite-qualifying nights. With the usual requirements for Diamond and Jade set at 50 and 20 nights respectively, Golden Circle members will be able to achieve the aforementioned status levels with just 25 and 10 nights during the promotional period.

If you are holding The Platinum Card from American Express, you will no longer get to enjoy the Golden Circle Jade membership as part of your Card Membership so if you are thinking about retaining your Jade status for the year ahead, this is a fantastic time to lock-in some stays (especially when the room rates are still low).

As always, elite-qualifying nights are fully paid hotel room nights that include bookings made through the Shangri-La website, Shangri-La mobile site, Shangri-La mobile application, Participating Hotels or Golden Circle Member Services directly. These rates also include Luxury Circle and Virtuoso bookings that you make on platforms like ClassicTravel.com (where you can enjoy USD 100 property credit with each stay) or HoteLux.
