The Offer
- Choice hotels is offering 8,000 points for every two stays. Must complete stays between March 27 and June 30, 2023
Our Verdict
Fairly standard offer for Choice.
This is not their usual offer for 2 separate stays, but rather 1 stay of 2 or more consecutive nights (up to 3 times). From the T&Cs: “This Offer is for an award of 8,000 bonus points after you stay two or more consecutive nights at participating Choice® hotels.”

Good catch! Updated.
I assume this has to be paid stay, right?
Yes. From the T&C:
“The Offer is only valid for qualifying stays, which exclude rooms booked below certain rates, reward night stays, complimentary rooms, rooms paid for as part of a convention or meeting, rooms booked through a travel agent, wholesale packages, group tours, and stays booked using the employee discount or the friends, family and associate discount.”
Thanks!
“which exclude rooms booked below certain rates”
which rates??? any idea? that’s very vague
Did 3 nights. First night did not qualify because I clicked “register” after booking and not before.
However, they added 7000 points today, just 24h after the “second” qualified night, she told me on the phone that 16000 points worth $50 visa gift card and now it’s only 8000 points during the promotion.
But when I click gift cards, all are 25$ for 8000pts.
Maybe I have to wait the end of the period (September) to order the gift card if they do 50% off on them.
The hotels were not the best ones… and the Patel family is a little lazy to clean properly the rooms… :p
DP — I did not receive the promotion points, for the following reason: “In order to qualify for the promotion, your stay at the property must have a 24-hour interval between each night.”
Per same property or two different ones?
Same property (“the property”).
So if P1 books 1st and 3rd nights and P2 books second night, then P1 should be eligible for the offer.
No. You replied to a reply from August 2024. This new promo in October 2024 is one stay of 2 consecutive nights.
Extended until 9/4
Per the FAQ (link in my post below), both in answer 10 and in the fine print below, one big change:
It’s not EVERY two stays. It’s only the FIRST FOUR pairs of stays.
And the promo doesn’t start until Monday June 3, so that could be why registration isn’t working yet.
Plus, it’s the “gift card” version, which simply means you’ve got an alternate redemption offer, it has nothing to do with points earning on stays.
Ya looks like this one is $50 towards GC for various stores. I did the previous and had to email them and they provided 5K pts vs 8K cause said it is based on what is “spent” (?) I stayed at a Clarion for work so decided to amass some pts…but Choice seems continually on the struggle bus.
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
if you are staying in tokyo, you can find rooms at 8k/night
