What happened
Leading Hotels of the World is offering a 100% bonus on Leaders Club purchases of 30,000 to 75,000 points from August 18 through September 25, 2026. Buys of 2,000 to 11,000 points get 50% extra and 12,000 to 29,000 get 75%. The window is 9:00 a.m. ET August 18 through 11:59 p.m. ET September 25. Members may buy for themselves or gift to another member, with the bonus credited to the recipient.
Each purchase is scored on its own and buys are not combined for a higher tier. Members may buy at most 75,000 points per calendar year in 1,000-point increments, with bonus points outside that cap. Purchases are non-refundable and can take up to 10 days to post. Bought and bonus points do not count toward tier qualification, and award stays earn neither points nor status.
At a 100% bonus, points cost 6 cents each and redeem at 8 cents toward paid rates, a 25% discount. Tax may be added and the offer cannot be combined with other offers. Only buy with existing Leaders Club status against a stay already worth that discount, and make one purchase of 30,000 to 75,000 points.
