Looking to stay at a Choice hotel soon? Check your account to see if you are targeted for a 30% bonuus when you purchase points!

Here’s a look at everything you should know.

Buy Choice Points Details

Choice Privileges frequently offers a discount or bonus on purchased points, though the amount often varies. The present offer isn’t as good as the last sale we saw on Choice points, unfortunately.

This time, we are seeing a bonus of 30% on purchased points. If maximized, this promotion will drop the cost of buying points to 0.79 cents each.

  • Buy 1,000 to 5,000 points and get no bonus (1.14 cents each)
  • Buy 6,000 to 11,000 points and get a 20% bonus (0.86 cents each)
  • Buy 12,000+ points and get a 30% bonus (0.79 cents each)

Your specific offer may vary, as this is technically a targeted offer. This promotion is valid through September 24, 2024, and you can buy up to 180,000 points.

Hot Tip:

Choice Privileges points are sold through Points.com, so they won’t code as a travel or hotel purchase. To get the best return when purchasing Choice Privileges points, use an everyday spending card like the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit CardInformation collected independently. Not reviewed by Capital One. or the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit CardInformation collected independently. Not reviewed by Capital One. to earn 2x miles or the Chase Freedom Unlimited® to earn 1.5% cash-back

Is It Worth It?

Though there isn’t a ton of buzz around Choice Privileges points, there are abundant examples of when buying these can make sense. Choice Hotels has thousands of properties across the world. While many of these aren’t ultra-high-end, you can score some good value.

There are a few things to know about Choice points in general:

  • You can only book reward rooms within 100 days of travel
  • Choice doesn’t charge more for additional guests (up to the capacity limit)
  • Suites cost the same as standard rooms in points

At Upgraded Points, we value Choice Privileges points at 0.6 cents per point, meaning this 30% bonus promotion still costs more than that number. That said, it’s certainly possible to get more than 0.6 cents per point in value, depending on how you redeem Choice Privileges points.

Other Ways To Earn Choice Privileges Points

Besides purchasing points, there are a few other ways to earn Choice Privileges points.

Citi ThankYou Rewards Points and Wells Fargo Rewards points transfer to Choice Privileges at a 1:2 ratio. You also can transfer your Amex Membership Rewards points and Capital One miles at a 1:1 ratio, though this is an inferior use of points compared to the better rate from Citi and Wells Fargo.

You also can earn Choice points from everyday spending and welcome offers on 2 credit cards issued by Wells Fargo in the U.S.: the Choice Privileges® Mastercard® and Choice Privileges® Select Mastercard®.

Final Thoughts

Choice Privileges has launched another targeted points sale offering a 30% bonus on purchased points.

If you’d like to take advantage of the latest offer, make sure you do so before the sale ends on September 24.
