Now that you have accumulated all of these Choice Privileges Points, how can you use these points for free travel? The options are listed below.
1. Redeem Points For Free Nights
You can use your points to stay at any Choice Hotel. Note that the reward nights that you use, count towards Choice Privileges Elite Status.
2. Redeem your points for reward nights at a participating Preferred Hotel Group, a partner hotel group.
This is very intrigiung to me as there are some very nice resorts on the list. But know that bookings are not available online. You can only make reservations made via the CHOICE service center for these properties (1 877 803 7701). And all rewards reservations are for standard rooms, single/double occupancy.
3. Use Points + Cash For Nights
Get a reward night by combining fewer points with cash. Points Plus Cash reward nights are available with a minimum of 8,000 points in your account. The cash portion is the cost to purchase the remaining amount of points needed for the reward night. Each 1,000 points purchased cost $7.50
4. Redeem Points for Airline Miles
Choice Privileges members can choose to redeem their points for miles. Mileage redemption rates vary per airline. Upon a quick review, it seems that for most redemptions you get 1,000-2,000 airline miles for 5,000 Choice Privileges points. You are probably better off using your Choice Privileges points for hotel stays! See all of the redemption rates per airline here.
5. Redeem Points For Other Travel Rewards
For example, use points for car rentals and cruises.
