One of the best aspects of redeeming points and miles is creating unforgettable experiences. And one of those options has returned for another season. Choice Privileges announced the return of redeeming Choice points for college sports experiences, this time for basketball and hockey.
Starting this week, you can redeem Choice points for unique college sports VIP experiences. If you're a fan of one of the 14 teams featured in this promotion — or just a fan of the hoops or hockey — you might find substantial value by cashing in some Choice Privileges points.
Here's all you need to know about Spring 2024's batch of Choice College Sports Experiences.
