If you join the luxury hotel group Leading Hotels of the World now, you can get one year of complimentary Leader Club membership plus 500 points, with an official stated value of $215. One especially useful benefit of this membership is free breakfast. There are 7 participating hotels in China, and quite a few more in the U.S. and Europe. Overall, the properties look pretty upscale, somewhat similar to SLH.

This membership includes benefits such as room upgrades, bonus points, free breakfast, free Wifi, and extra discounts. Free breakfast alone makes this offer pretty attractive.

There are 7 properties in China.

There are also many properties around the world.

Also, according to the official website, award nights start at 4,000 points. That means these 500 points are roughly equivalent to 1/8 of a free night award. In short, it’s free, so go ahead and sign up!
