[Expired] Get a 10% Bonus on Small Luxury Hotels of the World [SLH] Gift Cards

For a limited time, you can get a 10% bonus when purchasing $500 or more in gift cards from Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH).

This offer, which coincides with Mother’s Day, has no end date listed — it only says it’s available for a limited time. Should you purchase SLH gift cards with the bonus? Let’s check the details.

SLH Bonus Gift Card Promotion

Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) is a collection of independent, luxury properties. It’s not a hotel chain itself, but its collection covers more than 600 hotels in more than 90 countries.

Right now, purchases of at least $500 (or €500 or £500, depending on your chosen currency) will qualify for a 10% bonus gift card. Both the original gift card and the bonus will be received electronically via email.

Since the bonus is 10% of your original purchase price, a $500 purchase would get a $50 bonus gift card, while a $2,000 purchase would earn a $200 bonus gift card. There’s no end date listed for this offer.

Gift cards can be redeemed at check-in when arriving at an SLH property by showing the gift card on your phone or a printed version of it. They can be redeemed in whole or in part to cover room rates. Unfortunately, gift cards can’t be redeemed online with prepaid rates.

This promotion is available here.

Is It Worth It?

Those who book directly with Small Luxury Hotels of the World will enjoy a 10% bonus, essentially providing a discount on your next hotel stay by purchasing gift cards with this sale. For these travelers, or those who participate in the SLH Club rewards program, this deal is fantastic.

Unfortunately, the restrictions associated with these gift cards will make others uninterested. First, prepaid rates aren’t eligible for gift card redemptions, and those are usually the cheapest prices for a hotel reservation.

Additionally, the gift cards can only be used when booking directly with SLH, not through its partnership with Hilton. That means those with Hilton Honors elite status won’t enjoy their associated perks on SLH stays booked directly, and they can’t redeem Hilton Honors points to make these reservations either.

You’ll have to decide whether trading the perks and ability to redeem Hilton points is worth booking directly through SLH to maximize this gift card offer.

Final Thoughts

There’s an unknown end date on this “limited-time offer” from Small Luxury Hotels, offering a 10% bonus on gift card purchases of at least $500. Since the promotional materials for this offer show Mother’s Day themes, it may end around May 11, 2025.
