Shangri-La’s guest loyalty program has gone through a refresh over the past six months, starting with the name change from Golden Circle to just Circle (read more here) to moving entirely dynamic awards (read more here).
Shangri-La also announced a monthly event called Members Day that begins today, June 6, and lasts for 48 hours only. You can book hotel-specific packages at 6X points.
You can access Shangri-La’s page for Members Day here.
Each Members Days is valid for 48 hours, and Circle members earn 6X points for packages that they book during the period:

Rate Check Shangri-La Colombo:
I decided to check one Shangri-La hotel where I had stayed previously. Unfortunately, there is no indication of what the 6 TImes The Fun rate includes beyond 6X points at a 53% higher rate than the non-prepayment member rate.
Conclusion
I am not sure what to think of this offer based on my cursory look. At least in the case of Shangri-La Colombo, you are dearly paying for some extra points. I hope that this is not the case with most hotels.
