Preferred Hotels is running a promotion for its I Prefer members that offers double points for stays this spring.

While the Preferred Hotels I Prefer program is often overlooked in favor of other, more prominent programs, if you have hotel reservations to make, it could be worth looking into this offer to see if it’s a fit for your travel plans — and whether it could be rewarding for you.

Here’s what you need to know.

Preferred Hotels I Prefer Double Points Promo

Preferred Hotels I Prefer members can earn double points on stays between March 1 and April 30, 2026. Members must register for the promotion, and there’s a minimum stay requirement of 2 nights.

With this offer, base points earned are boosted by 100%. Members typically earn 10 base points per $1 spent, so this becomes 20x earnings through the promotional window.

Before you book, there are a few terms and conditions to be aware of:

  • Must book by April 30 and stay between March 1 and April 30, 2026.
  • Double points will not be added to bonus points earned as a Gold (20% bonus) or Titanium (50% bonus) member.
  • Any bonus points earned do not count toward elite status qualification.

About Preferred Hotels

Preferred Hotels & Resorts is an upscale hotel collection that launched more than 50 years ago. Under the Preferred Hotels umbrella, you’ll find 5 independent hotel brands: Connect, Legend, L.V.X., Lifestyle, and Preferred Residences.

Today, the chain has more than 650 locations in more than 80 countries. The group’s loyalty program, I Prefer, has 3 levels of elite status: Silver, achieved upon enrollment in the program; Gold, achieved after earning 25,000 elite-qualifying points; and Titanium, achieved after earning 50,000 elite-qualifying points. While I Prefer elite status doesn’t confer as many high-value benefits as some competing loyalty programs, it can be valuable if you stay at Preferred properties frequently.

The program offers redemptions starting at just 15,000 points per night and boasts some pretty incredible properties worldwide.

Hot Tip:

You can transfer Capital One miles and Citi ThankYou Points to I Prefer. Interestingly, it’s possible to book the same hotel in multiple ways, so you can also redeem Choice Privileges points for some Preferred Hotels, giving you more options for your hotel reservations.

Final Thoughts

While this isn’t a promotion we’d go out of our way to take advantage of, Preferred Hotels has some pretty incredible properties across the U.S. and the globe.

If you have hotel reservations to make, and a Preferred Hotels property fits your preferences, there’s no reason not to sign up and score the double points! Just remember, you need to book and travel by April 30, 2026.
