Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) is a collection of independent hotels and smaller chains that use the GHA’s Discovery as their guest loyalty/recognition program.
Discovery is currently offering a Platinum status after a stay of two nights (read more here) until the end of August and has extended the offer of Double Elite Night Credits through the end of 2020.
You can access this offer on GHA’s website here.
You earn double elite night credits for all nights consumed until December 31, 2020. BLACK status usually requires 30 nights that you can now get with just 15.
Here is GHA Discovery’s status benefit matrix:

Conclusion
I did try GHA Discovery years ago when more rate plans were eligible (didn’t need to be booked directly) and stayed then at my first ever Alila (now part of Hyatt).
You don’t need any free nights with GHA, but instead collect local experience awards that may or may not be of interest to you (I had mine expire).
Platinum or Black status, can make sense if you stay at any of the better hotel chains of GHA, such as Kempinski or Omni.
