What Is La Quinta Returns Redeem Away?

Redeem Away lets you redeem your La Quinta Returns points for every day purchases made on the linked Visa card. You can redeem points for the following purchases:

  • Quick Service and Casual Dining Restaurants – like Starbucks, McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, Applebee’s, Olive Garden, Chili’s
  •  Bookstores – like Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble
  • Grocery and Drugstores – like Kroger, Walgreens, CVS
  • Club and Discount Stores – like Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart

Your purchase must be at least $1 and can be up to a maximum of $100 to be eligible, you’re also limited to $3,600 over a 365 period and $300 over a 30 day period.

Our Verdict

Last time this was offered the points did seem to extend the expiry on your La Quinta points. Points also seem to be worth 0.33¢ per point when redeeming this. I’d recommend using a Visa card you don’t use otherwise the SMS notifications will be annoying. You can view more ways to get free loyalty points by clicking here. That includes another 500 La Quinta points for completing social media actions.

this has been a total failure.
it took several attempts to get the visa card to register. I question if it ever worked. No message to the phone. Went ahead and did the $1 purchase for my wife and I and no message. Called in and no answer.

What a waste of time.

Any suggestions?

For those of us who did this before, I’m just wondering if you could unsubscribe and register again for the 1500 pts.

How does this work? They give you a merchant credit on a card that you potentially never used at them? They send you a check every now an then?

Awesome, posted instantly. Just got a notice that my 4600 LQ points were going to expire and I could use them for magazine subscriptions. Thought about doing it (because why not?) but this gave me enough to transfer to WN. Thanks DoC!
