I’ve been quite a fan of Shangri-La Golden Circle since I first stayed with them in Sydney. The actual stay wasn’t too bad although it wasn’t anything special, but what I really liked about them was their potentially lucrative stackable promotions along with not too bad room rates and Virtuoso/AMEX FHR where I essentially received at least a 60% rebate on my stay. I wrote a bit about that here. I also wrote about AMEX Fine Hotels and Resorts and Virtuoso here, if you want more information about that.
Anyways, what surprised me this morning was the email they sent out for a game which might be the most rewarding I’ve ever seen. Since they’ve turned 3 years old, they’re giving away a Executive Suite stay. But what interests me is the 1200 points they’re giving away, because I think Shangri-La points are most valuable in absolute value (i.e. compared to equal amounts of SPG/Chase UR/etc.)
What 1200 points will get you is one free night!!!
Redemption Chart
Sure, they might not be locations you might go to, but I’m not turning down a free night!! They can also be used for F&B/Spa vouchers which are quite nice too although I’m not sure about their redemptions. I have a balance of Shangri-La points already, so this will be a nice way to top up my balance.
So how do you earn these points? You play a game once for six weeks. You earn 100 points for playing. Then they give you a code which is an entry into a draw and will also give you another 100 points. This will require you to download an app on iOS or Android.
How to Play
This honestly doesn’t really make sense to me as they’re practically giving away free points and this is just screaming for the program to be devalued. oh well!
This is an AWESOME way to get points from playing a game!!! Link to the website is here.
Enjoy!!!

Nice! Good find.
So I played the game as a non-member, expecting to receive a membership number along the way… I provided my personal info but didn’t get any credentials…
I saw this at Loyalty Lobby when it was first posted.
I saw it in my email from Shangri-La this morning.
1000 points can be converted into 100usd for food or spa
Yes
Great find, thank you!!
have the points been instantaneous to post? mine have not
Don’t think they post instantaneously.
Where in the world on the mobile site (android) do you deposit the code for the additional 100 points? Am I missing something? Thanks!
You download the mobile app. There’s a barcode when you get the code to prompt you to download it.
Anybody received membership number by e-mail when playing as a non-member? Mine is yet to appear…
In the same boat…just did this for my wife and decided to sign-up prior to playing the game. Received a membership number for her instantly through the sign-up.
Are the points transferrable to family members like club carlson’s?
Unfortunately not.
My account is still not credited, is anyone else’s?
Mine hasn’t.
I’m really excited about this, apart from the fact that it doesn’t seem as though anyone has received their points.
We’ll see. I haven’t gotten any points yet sadly.
I’ve only been credited with the points for the first week.
Anyone else?
Yep me too. First week only.
I now got 600 points (100 for each week) now all that is missing is the mobile app bonus of the additional 600 points!
I think I’ve gotten 400 or so points too – but that was because I missed a week!
