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.
