Choice Privileges is giving members a fast-track way to rack up points on paid stays, thanks to new Bonus Points Packages that offer 1,000, 2,000, or 5,000 extra points per night — available at a predictable, fixed cost added to the nightly rate.

Many other hotel brands have offered a system to add extra points to your hotel reservation, and now Choice is joining them. Here’s how it works.

Choice Privileges Packages Now Offering up to 5K Bonus Points Nightly

If you’re a frequent guest of Choice Hotels and participate in the Choice Privileges loyalty program, there’s a new way to pad your account with bonus points — no need to wait for a points sale.

Through a series of bonus point packages, you can earn up to 5,000 extra points per night just by booking specific rate codes directly with Choice.

When booking cash fares, the bonus points are tied to 3 rate codes at the following cost:

  • PKPR1: 1,000 bonus points per night for an extra $6.50
  • PKPR2: 2,000 bonus points per night for an extra $13
  • PKPR3: 5,000 bonus points per night for an extra $32.50

All 3 packages price points at 0.65 cents using a flat rate. For comparison, we currently value Choice Privileges points at 0.6 cents each, based on average redemption opportunities across the program. That means you’re adding these extra points to your account at a price slightly above what they’re worth.

Bonus points are typically posted within 72 hours after checkout, and they count toward future free nights, gift cards, or other rewards in the Choice Privileges program.

Is It Worth It?

At 0.65 cents, these packages are slightly above our valuation but still reasonable — especially if you’re topping off for a high-value redemption.

For example, if you’re targeting an all-inclusive resort or a points sweet spot property in Europe or Japan, where redemptions can easily exceed 1 cent per point in value, this can be a strategic move. This offer becomes most appealing for business travelers who aren’t paying out of pocket or for anyone trying to hit an award night threshold without buying points outright.

Keep in mind, the current Choice points purchase promotion offers points at 0.62 cents each, so buying them directly might be slightly cheaper, but only if you’re under the annual limit and buy while one of these regularly ocrurring offers is available.

Hot Tip:

You might want to consider taking advantage of this promotion when you’re close to a valuable redemption or want to hit an elite status threshold. Just make sure the math works out compared to buying points directly.

Final Thoughts

The Choice Privileges Bonus Points Packages aren’t groundbreaking, but they offer predictable value for members who want to boost their earnings on paid stays. If you’re traveling on an expense account or aiming for a specific redemption, these packages are worth a look.
