Referrals for Small Luxury Hotels (SLH) Invited program get you free nights

Last year I wrote about how Small Luxury Hotels(SLH) of the world was offering a direct sign up for their second tier, Loved status to AMEX Platinum, MasterCard and Diners Club card holders.

SLH is a consortium of 500+ boutique properties across 80 countries and it runs a membership program under the name INVITED. This is a 3 tiered membership (Special, Loved and Honored) and it is completely free to join the program.

Last night I was taking a look at the participating hotels in the SLH and came across their Refer a Friend Programme. Turns out if you are an SLH member you can invite up to 3 friends and earn a free night the first time your friends complete a stay.

In order for an INVITED Member to receive a complimentary night via the Refer a Friend Programme, the member needs to simply log in to their Member profile at SLH.com and submit a friend’s email address. Keep in mind that a maximum of 3 email addresses can be submitted and any friend being recommended must be new to the INVITED program.

Then the recommended friend must join the INVITED program and book a stay with an INVITED qualifying rate code. Once your friend completes their stay a complimentary night unique voucher code will be sent your account. The complimentary night code is valid for a period of one year and can be used at participating hotels. The free night entitles the member to a standard double room accommodation for two people.

While most of the properties in the SLH portfolio are expensive, I did manage to find some beautiful hotels in the USD 100 range.

Bottom line

If you don’t have an affinity to a particular hotel chain and would like to earn a free night then this offer is worth considering. For instance if you are travelling as a group to Phuket you can easily get rooms in a beach retreat for USD 90/ INR 6,000. And if your friends book through referral you’ll get to score a couple of free nights.
