The Offer
- Choice Privileges is offering 5,000-8,000 bonus points when you complete two stays between February 26th and April 26th, 2019. The number of points you earn will depend on the base points earned from your two qualifying stays (e.g you’ll end up with a minimum of 8,000 bonus points total).
The Fine Print
- The number of bonus points awarded depends on the number of base points earned from the two separate qualifying stays, with points varying by hotel. The total of base points plus bonus points awarded, however, will be at least 8,000 points, which is the number of points required for a future free night at over 1,000 Choice® hotels worldwide (see Free Nights, below).
- Registration required at ChoiceHotels.com/freenight before check-out.
- The promotion is only available to members of the Choice Privileges® Rewards Program who make two separate qualifying stays with arrival between 02/26/2019 and 04/26/2019.
- A “stay” is any number of consecutive nights at one hotel regardless of check-ins or check-outs.
- A “qualifying stay” is a stay that is during this promotion at a participating hotel through a qualifying channel (see Qualifying Channel, below) that is eligible to earn Choice Privileges points.
- Most stays are eligible to earn Choice Privileges points EXCEPT: rooms booked at rates below $40 USD per night, certain hotel initiated promotions, reward night stays, complimentary rooms, rooms paid for as part of a convention or meeting, rooms booked through a travel agent or third party online retailer including online travel agencies, wholesale packages, group tours, and stays booked using the employee discount or the friends and family discount.
- Registered members will be awarded a minimum of 5,000 to a maximum of 8,000 bonus points after the second qualifying stay.
- Stays at vacation rental property locations and Choice Hotels® properties in the following countries are excluded from this promotion: Japan, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Guyana, and Ecuador. You must maintain an address in the U.S. (includes U.S. territories) or Canada to be eligible.
Our Verdict
Not the most exciting promotion, but might as well register if there is any chance you’ll be staying at a Choice property or two in the near future.
Hat tip to FM
Pretty decent especially if you have the Choice Privileges card from Barclays that gives gold status. With gold status, you get 400+200 or 400+250 extra pts for each stay (less for weekend only stays) plus 5 points per dollar of spend plus 10% of the base points (and all of these bonus pts are in addition to the 8k for 2 stays promo). If you can find a decent (lol) $40-50/nt hotel and stay there 1 night x2 then you’re out of pocket $90-110 after tax and you get 8000+650+650+450+100 points = 9,850 pts. At 0.5 cpp that’s roughly a 50% return. Lots of $50-60 properties in 8-10k range.
I need to book 2 rooms for 1 night in middle of nowhere I-95 Florida land so this deal might come in very handy. Some okay choices in the $60/nt+tax range with 10k point earnings.
Plus 5% cash back through a portal.
But now I’m curious if 2 rooms on the same night, booked under separate reservations, will qualify.
The Best Western deal is better since 8,000 points on Choice will get you a suburban Quality or Rodeway Inn.
