I Prefer Program Overview
I Prefer is the loyalty program of Preferred Travel Group, the world's largest independent hotel brand. Unlike most major hotel chains, Preferred Hotels & Resorts doesn’t own or manage properties; instead, it partners with over 650 independent upscale and luxury hotels across 80 countries.
The portfolio includes boutique city hotels, beachfront resorts, and countryside retreats, with a strong presence in the United States and Europe.
The I Prefer program allows members to earn points on eligible stays, which can be redeemed for free nights, room upgrades, and other perks. Members start with “Silver” status and earn 10 points per dollar spent at most properties. Travelers can earn Gold or Titanium status to unlock higher earning rates and additional benefits such as welcome amenities, enhanced upgrades, and food and beverage vouchers.
I Prefer points do not expire as long as members stay at a participating property at least once every 24 months.

Our Take
Preferred Hotels & Resorts isn’t as widely discussed as the major hotel chains, but its I Prefer program offers solid value — especially through promotions like these. Whether you're booking a romantic boutique hotel or a luxury resort, it’s worth registering for the double points offer to boost your earnings. And if you happen to be staying at one of the newly added properties, the extra 2,500 bonus points are a nice surprise.
Just be sure to book through eligible channels and register before your stay to ensure you earn what you're entitled to. Every bit of extra value helps — especially with a program that flies under the radar.
