Summary
Choice Privileges, the rewards program for Choice Hotels, has made some positive changes, including lower requirements for existing elite status tiers and the introduction of milestone rewards. However, the program has also significantly devalued its award options in major Japanese cities. The program offers various ways to earn points, including hotel stays, credit card spending, and transfers from other programs. Points can be redeemed for free nights, special experiences, gift cards, and more. The program’s value lies in its ability to provide outsize value for certain redemptions, such as booking centrally located hotels in Europe for as little as 8,000 points per night.

The program also offers milestone rewards, such as 1,500 points for 10 qualifying nights or 20,000 qualifying credits. Additionally, points can be redeemed for free nights, special experiences, gift cards, and more.
And yet, the program’s value lies in its ability to provide outsize value for certain redemptions, such as booking centrally located hotels in Europe for as little as 8,000 points per night.
