Thank you to Choice Hotels for sponsoring today’s post! The honest opinions are my own.
Have you noticed recently that many loyalty programs have been making it more and more difficult to earn perks, points, and rewards? It can be frustrating and in the travel world it is no different. Redeeming airline miles or hotel reward nights sometimes seems like an unreachable goal.
That’s why I was excited to learn that Choice Hotels is shaking things up!
The new Choice Hotels Choice Privileges program has been enhanced to bring greater and faster value to its over 25 million members.
These new benefits include:
- Your Extras. Weekday travelers can earn a special reward — a little something ‘extra’ — right when they check in. For each qualifying stay that includes at least 1 weekday night (any night Sun. through Thurs.), the member can earn a special reward of their choice. U.S members have 5 options, varying from Fuel Rewards® savings at participating Shell locations to Amazon.com credit. International members have 2 options: 500 bonus points or 100 airline miles from participating airline carriers.
- FlexRewards. Get to a free night faster— Members can redeem points for free nights at discounted point levels at participating hotels, varying by season. There will be up to 2,000 hotels reduced during either the weekdays or weekend at any time.
- Digital Gift Cards. The first hotel company to offer immediate in-app gift card downloads, Choice Privileges members can receive instant gratification with new digital gift cards.
- Keep Your Points. As long as members stay active by completing a qualifying activity at least once every 18 months, they get to keep their points.
- 10 Points per Dollar. All 5,500 Choice Hotels now earn 10 points per dollar spent – including economy and extended stay hotels, such as MainStay Suites, Suburban, EconoLodge and Rodeway Inn. And, during our award winning promotions, it is now easier than ever to qualify since members no longer need to stay two consecutive nights at economy brands.

If you could take a vacation right now where would you go? And which of the Choice Hotels would you like to stay in?
This is an amazing program! I didn’t know about it, thanks for the review
Oh I love the points! That is so neat that you can use them towards gas at Shell or even Amazon! What a great perk!!!
If I could take a vacation right now, I would go to the beach. Maybe thee East coaast or Florida. But alas, not in the budget . I can dream of a vacation though!
Awesome!!! I’ve been looking for something like this for my daughter. She travels frequently. I will let her know. Thank you!!!
What a great program! Thank you for the info :)
We plan on doing a lot of traveling, I went and signed up for Choice Hotels a few weeks ago, would love to earn more rewards to help save on costs.
Cool. Thank you.
This is a great deal, I’ve never tried Choice Hotels and might look into if for summer travel. Thanks for telling me about it.
