Choice Reveals 26 College Football VIP Packages — Here’s What You Can Bid On

Offers for the Choice Privileges^® Mastercard^® and Choice Privileges^® Select Mastercard^® are not available through this site. Some offers may have expired. Please see our card marketplace for available offers

Choice Privileges members will have dozens of new ways to redeem points this fall. Choice Experiences has unveiled its 2026 college football lineup, featuring VIP packages for 26 games from October through November.

However, don’t rush to place a bid just yet. Most of these auctions are currently labeled “Opening Soon.” Choice has published the opening bids and bidding deadlines, giving members time to identify the experiences they want and build their points balances before bidding begins.

Opening bids range from 15,000 to 100,000+ Choice Privileges points. Packages generally include tickets, hospitality access, and sideline passes, while select premium experiences add hotel stays and travel gift cards.

Here’s what you need to know about the newly announced lineup — plus the handful of racing experiences currently open for bidding.

Current Choice Privileges Experiences

At the time of writing, Choice Privileges lists 32 experiences (5 racing, 26 football, 1 vacation) and a die-cast car.

However, bidding has opened for only about half of these experiences. Some college football listings currently display “Opening Soon,” and Choice has not published a specific opening date. Members can add an experience to their watchlist to monitor when bidding begins.

Here’s the complete schedule, along with the currently listed bidding deadlines. The table also includes Choice’s upcoming racing experiences.

VIP college football packages

Most packages cover two travelers and include some combination of:

• Game tickets
• Pre-game hospitality access
• Pre-game or in-game sideline passes
• A parking pass
• A restaurant or team-store gift card

Some higher-end packages offer substantially more. Select experiences with 150,000-point opening bids include $1,500 in travel gift cards, a two-night hotel stay, premium game tickets, hospitality and sideline access, a parking pass, and additional gift cards.

At the other end of the range, packages opening at 40,000 points still include game tickets and VIP extras such as hospitality or sideline access. Thanks to the 1:2 transfer ratio available from Wells Fargo Rewards, 40,000 Choice points could require just 20,000 transferable points.

Our Take

Choice has given members plenty of advance notice to review the schedule, compare packages, and prepare their points balances before the auctions open. However, several experiences are already open, so be sure to place a bid if you're interested.

Some packages could offer compelling value, particularly those that combine premium tickets with hotel stays, travel gift cards, and access that typically isn’t available for purchase. Still, auction prices can climb quickly once bidding begins, and experiences without a cash price are inherently difficult to value.

Identify what the experience is worth to you before placing a bid, then avoid getting caught up in trying to win at any cost. In the meantime, use the watch feature to monitor the packages that interest you.
