To purchase points today, click the individual links above or follow this link to the calendar for the week of April 24, 2017 and select the Choice Privileges package you are interested in.
You can purchase 2 sets of points for each package, with a maximum of 8 sets of points across all Choice Hotels offers. Points will be posted to the account number given at time of purchase within 10 business days.
This a great opportunity to get Choice Privileges points below the regular purchase rate and use them for reward nights that would ordinarily cost a ton more. Especially good redemption options are at the upscale Ascend collection properties, or simply Choice hotels in countries other than the US.
Note that reward night reservations cannot be made more than 30 days prior to hotel arrival, but points don’t expire for 18 months so you can hold on to them for a while if needed.
If you get one of the Choice Privileges points packages today, when redeeming you can get a lot of bang for your buck of you simply find a Choice property to stay at that costs a lot more than your points did when purchasing.
Even if the majority of the Choice properties aren’t super high end, they sure can come in handy if you find yourself in a location where there aren’t a lot of hotels to choose from, have a get-together planned with a lot of family, or just want a family-friendly place that offers good value.
