The latest Choice Privileges promotion earns you 8,000 points, enough for a free night at select Choice hotels, after completing 2 stays.
Here is a look at the details of the promotion.
Stay Twice and Earn 8,000 Points
Image Credit: ChoiceWhen you register for this promotion and complete 2 separate qualifying stays between March 14, 2022, and May 8, 2022, you’ll receive 8,000 Choice Privileges points. At Upgraded Points, we value Choice Privileges points at 0.6 cents per point, meaning we view the 8,000 points from this promotion as getting $48 towards a future Choice stay.
What is interesting about the promotion, though, is that the 8,000 points are not in addition to the standard Choice points you’d earn.
Usually, Choice awards members 10x points per $1 spent. Given that, if you booked 2 1-night stays at $150 each, you’d ordinarily earn 3,000 points, but during this promotion, you’d earn a total of 8,000 points — so 3,000 plus a 5,000 point bonus.
As the marketing states, 8,000 points is enough for a free night, but only at many of the cheapest Choice hotels as most of the chains’ premium properties cost up to 35,000 points per night.
Here are the other important terms of the promotion:
- Registration is required.
- Members will be awarded a minimum of 5,000 bonus points and a maximum of 8,000 bonus points, depending on the number of base points earned from the 2 stays.
- Only direct bookings made through the Choice app, website, or by phone qualify.
- A qualifying stay is one that is eligible to earn Choice Privileges points, except stays booked at rates below $40 per night.
- Reward nights do not qualify for the promotion.
- Points should post within 72 hours of your second eligible checkout.
- Choice properties in the following countries are excluded from this promotion: Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Guyana, Iceland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Sweden.

Stack This Promotion With Rakuten
You can enhance this deal even further by activating Rakuten before booking your 2 Choice stays needed to earn the 8,000 points. This will allow you to also earn 3% cash-back on your stays, or 3x Amex Membership Rewards per $1 for those with that setting enabled on their Amex accounts.
Final Thoughts
This deal likely won’t drop your jaw from the number of points you’ll receive, but for those who often stay in Choice hotels anyway, and were planning to do so before May 8, 2022, this is an excellent way to squeeze some more value out of those stays.
