Quick reminder: the Choice Privileges triple points promotion ends March 31, 2026. If you have any Choice stays coming up, make sure you’re registered.
The Deal
Earn 3x Choice Privileges points on all qualifying stays through March 31.
Register here — must register before your first stay to earn the bonus.
What You Need to Know
- Registration required — Won’t get bonus points without it
- Book by March 30 — Stay must complete by March 31
- Bonus cap: 20,000 points max during the promo
- Base points still stack — You’ll earn base + elite bonuses on top of the triple bonus
Excluded Brands
These Choice brands don’t participate:
- WoodSpring Suites
- Mainstay Suites
- Everhome Suites
- Suburban Studios
Basically their extended-stay brands are out. Standard Choice properties (Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, Cambria, Radisson, etc.) all qualify.
Excluded Countries
Stays in these European countries don’t qualify:
- Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland
- Iceland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia
Everywhere else worldwide is fair game.
Is It Worth It?
At triple points, Choice stays become surprisingly valuable — especially for budget hotels.
Example math:
- Base earn: 10 points per dollar
- Triple bonus: 30 points per dollar
- $100/night stay = 3,000 points
Choice points are worth roughly 0.6–0.7 cents each, so that’s about $18-21 in value on a $100 stay. Not bad for a budget chain.
The 20,000 bonus cap means you max out around $667 in spending. After that you’re back to normal earning (still get base + elite bonuses).
How Choice Points Compare
With the Citi ThankYou devaluation hitting Choice transfers in April, earning points directly through stays becomes more valuable.
Current transfer rates to Choice:
- Citi ThankYou: 1:2 (dropping to 1:1.5 on April 19)
- Capital One: 1:1
After April, direct earning via promos like this will be the better play for Choice points.
Don’t Want Hotel Stays?
If you’re not a Choice loyalist, consider converting to Flying Blue miles instead. There’s a 100% transfer bonus through April 24 — your Choice points transfer at double the normal rate to Air France-KLM’s program.
Redemption Sweet Spots
Choice isn’t glamorous, but points redeem well for:
- Road trips — Comfort Inns everywhere, points stretch far
- Budget travel — 8,000-15,000 points/night at most properties
- Cambria Hotels — Their upscale brand, decent value at ~20-30k/night
- Radisson properties — Now part of Choice, some solid options
Free night awards start at 6,000 points at the cheapest properties.
Action Items
- Register now if you haven’t
- Book by March 30 for stays completing by March 31
- Make sure your CP number is on the reservation
- Points post 2-4 weeks after checkout
One week left — don’t leave points on the table if you’re staying at Choice anyway.
