Earn Up to 32,000 Bonus Points on Stays This Summer
Registration for Choice's newest promotion is open! The Choice Privileges 2025 summer promotion offers members bonus points after their second stay. After registering, members will earn at least 8,000 points on their second stay between May 19 and September 2, 2025. Repeat up to four times to earn at least 32,000 total points.
Choice Hotels is advertising this promotion as “Stay 2x, Get a $50 Gift Card.” Indeed, during this promotion, you can redeem 8,000 Choice points earned for a $50 gift card through October 31, 2025. That provides a redemption rate of 0.625 cents per point — slightly better than the average Choice point redemption rate of 0.6¢ each. Still, savvy AwardWallet readers may be able to stretch their Choice points even further by redeeming them for hotel stays instead.
Key terms
- This promotion is valid for stays between May 19 and September 2, 2025.
- Members must register before the first stay and will earn 8,000 bonus points after completing their second stay — repeatable up to four times.
- Only bookings made directly with Choice (through the app, website, or by phone) qualify.

Military Members and Spouses Gold and 2,500 Bonus Points Promotion
Active, reserve, and retired military members and their spouses can claim “limited time” Gold Status. Then, they can collect 2,500 bonus points after their next qualifying stay. All they need to do is fill out this form.
Receiving 2,500 bonus points for one stay is rewarding, but the Gold status doesn't offer much value. The main benefits include early check-in, late check-out, and elite reserved parking, all based on availability. Gold members also get an elite welcome gift, which varies by property. Active military personnel and veterans can also receive a special military discount on leisure bookings.
Terms and conditions
- This promotion applies to active, reserve, and retired members of any US Armed Forces, including the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or National Guard, and their spouses.
- Applicants must be at least 18 years old.
- Stays to earn 2,500 bonus points do not include rooms booked below $40 per night, stays made in connection with certain hotel-initiated promotions, reward night stays, complimentary rooms, rooms paid for as part of a convention or meeting, rooms booked through a travel agent or third-party online retailer including online travel agencies, wholesale packages, group tours, and stays booked using the employee discount or the friends and family discount.
- As with all Choice Privilege promotions, rewards are earned after the stay is completed, not at the time of booking.
- To maintain Gold Status, members must keep their account active with valid activity at least every 18 months, or the status will be forfeited.
Bonus Points With Choice Eat & Earn Promotions
In 2021, Choice Hotels launched a new dining program. If you haven't joined yet, new members can currently take advantage of a promotion to earn bonus points.
New members of the Choice Eat & Earn dining program can earn 500 bonus points after signing up and completing their first dine-in before June 30, 2025.
Tips for Booking Choice Hotel Stays
When booking a stay at a Choice Hotel, start searching for nights here. Make sure to pay for the stay with one of the best rewards cards for travel purchases. Right now, several credit cards offer 3X points on hotel purchases:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve®: 3X Ultimate Rewards points on travel purchases (after exhausting the annual $300 travel credit).
- Ink Business Preferred® Credit Card: 3X Ultimate Rewards points on travel purchases (on the first $150,000 spent, then 1X).
