Choice Privileges has announced a new round of Sweet Spot Rewards offering heavily discounted award night stays — up to 40% off at selected locations. That drops award rates as low as 8,000 points per night, meaning you can score hotel rooms for as few as 4,000 Citi ThankYou Points. This offer is valid for stays through November 30, 2023.

Choice Hotels just relaunched its promotion to earn 8,000 bonus points after two stays. You need to register in advance and complete your two stays by November 6, 2023. Here are the details on this recurring Choice promotion -- plus other Choice promotions offering perks to active and veteran military personnel, discounts on rewards nights at select hotels, and bonus Choice points through the Choice Eat & Earn dining program.

Choice Privileges just launched a new promotion to buy points. Now through September 22, 2023, Choice Privileges members can get up to a 35% bonus when buying Choice Privilege points. When maximized, members can snag points for as little as 0.76¢ apiece. That's not quite as good as Choice typically offers, but it can be valuable under the right circumstances. Let's take a look at some examples.

Now through October 15, 2023, you'll get 100% bonus miles when transferring Choice Privileges points to United miles. That certainly improves the transfer ratio, but we still generally don't recommend transferring most types of hotel points to airline miles. In this post, we dig into the numbers to show you what might make sense.

Choice Privileges recently announced the return of a promotion where you can redeem points for VIP treatment at select college football games. If you're a college football fan, you might find a lot of value in this new promotion. Here's this year's 17 participating teams and package options

The merger of Radisson Rewards Americas into Choice Privileges is complete, but there were a few outstanding questions. Given that the programs had different points expiration policies and different thresholds for earning status tiers, how would the integration work for these elements? What would happen to your points and to your former elite status from Radisson Rewards Americas?

Your Choice Privileges points will expire if your account has no qualifying activity for a period of 18 months. Fortunately, a wide range of activities count towards resetting the validity of your points without the need to spend one night in a Choice Hotels property.

In 2022, Choice Privileges finally joined Hilton, Marriott, and IHG by launching a dining program. Just like the other programs, new members of the Choice Eat & Earn program can get a bonus when joining. This promotion is good until September 30, 2023, but it will probably get extended (as they usually do). Here's how you can earn 1,500 bonus points by joining Choice Privileges Eat & Earn.

Choice Hotels is massively expanding its portfolio with the acquisition of Radisson Hotels in the Americas. Now it's better than ever to status match to Gold or Platinum in the Choice Privileges rewards program. This is just one of many status matches between hotel rewards programs. While status matches between January and June are only valid until the end of the current calendar year, status matches completed between July and December grant elite status until the end of the following calendar year. Thus, it's best to status match to Choice Privileges after July 1. Here's a guide to how to submit a match and the perks of Choice Privileges elite status.

The 2023 U.S. Travel Association Daily Getaways returned on June 12, 2023. This year, the promotion runs from Monday to Friday from June 12 through July 5, 2023. Similar to most years, there are some excellent deals to be had, including hotel points purchases from 0.5¢ per point to incredible Vegas getaways and more. Weeks one and two have come and gone. From cheap Hyatt points to Universal tickets and Vegas suites, here's what you can expect from Daily Getaways in week three.
