The promotion is open to all Leela DISCOVERY members, including new members; they can simply opt in as part of their free membership. After registering, members will earn twice the usual amount of D$ for all eligible spend on their stays through the end of June.

With this promotion, an entry level Silver member will earn 8% back in D$ rather than his usual 4%, and the top Titanium level members will earn 14% back in D$ rather than their usual 7%.
