Whether you're looking to take a national park vacation or travel to see loved ones, there's likely a Choice Hotels property where you're going.
You can maximize your stays with Choice during the next few months with a new Choice Privileges promotion. Specifically, you'll earn at least 8,000 Choice points for every two stays — up to eight stays in total — between June 3 and Aug. 5. You can also redeem Choice points earned through this promotion for select gift cards at a rate of 8,000 points per $50 gift card through Oct. 5.
Let's take a closer look at this promotion.

To earn Choice Privileges points, you must book a qualifying rate through a qualifying method for a participating property. Qualifying booking methods include the Choice website, mobile app or phone booking center. Stays directly booked through Book by Google are also eligible if you add your Choice Privileges number to your reservation before check-in.
Most rates that typically earn Choice Privileges points are qualifying rates. However, the following types of stays aren't eligible:
After each pair of qualifying stays (up to four pairs of stays), Choice will award you between 5,000 and 8,000 bonus points. The number of bonus points depends on the base points earned from the two qualifying stays. However, the total base points plus bonus points awarded across the two stays will be at least 8,000 points.
If you want to participate in this promotion, ensure your earning preference is Choice Privileges points (not airline miles).
