Who doesn’t love double points on their hotel stays? The latest Preferred Hotels promotion offers just that, providing double I Prefer points on stays through August 31, 2025.

This is a repeat of a promotion we saw earlier this year, so we’re hoping this will become a recurring offer.

Here’s what you need to know.

Earn Double Points With Preferred Hotels

Those booking with Preferred Hotels can earn double points on stays from May 8 through August 31, 2025. However, you need to register before making any reservations. Only stays completed after registration will qualify for bonus points.

Preferred Hotels operates the I Prefer loyalty program, and guests normally earn 10 points per $1 spent. With this offer, that’s doubled to 20x points.

Guests must book directly through Preferred Hotels to earn points. Also, you must be a valid I Prefer Member member, and the bonus points from this offer don’t count toward elite tier qualification. Moreover, the bonus points from elite tiers aren’t doubled — only your base points.

Keep in mind that this offer can’t be combined with other promotions. Also, the 10x earning rate doesn’t apply at andBeyond or The Brand properties, as these award 5x points.

How I Prefer Members Can Redeem Points

Preferred Hotels & Resorts is an upscale hotel brand that launched more than half a century ago. Underneath the Preferred Hotels umbrella are 5 individual brands of independent hotels: Connect, Legend, L.V.X., Lifestyle, and Preferred Residences.

Today, the chain has more than 650 locations in more than 80 countries.

While we don’t have valuations for Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ I Prefer program, its points can be valuable.

The lowest award redemption options cost just 15,000 points a night, including properties like these:

The Clement Palo Alto in California
100 Luxury Suites in Bogota, Colombia
Salalah Gardens Hotel in Salalah, Oman

With the current promotion, a $750 hotel stay would yield 15,000 points — giving you enough for a stay at one of these properties.

Hot Tip:

Citi added the ability to transfer points to I Prefer in 2024, and it’s also possible to redeem Choice Privileges points for Preferred Hotels, giving you more options for your hotel reservations. That’s because you can book the same hotel in multiple ways.

Final Thoughts

This is a straightforward promotion, offering double points on stays through the end of August. You need to register first, but that’s the only hurdle.

Whether you’re looking for a domestic trip or somewhere half a planet away, Preferred Hotels has numerous locations that could match your travel plans. And you’ll get twice the rewards you normally would.
