You’ll get up to a 40% bonus on purchased Choice hotel points through April 20, 2017.
To buy points and earn the bonus, you must be a member of Choice’s loyalty program and sign-in to your account. If you aren’t already a member, it’s free and easy to register!
The Bonus You’ll Earn Depends on the Number of Points You Buy
The more points you buy the bigger the bonus you’ll earn:
- Buy 5,000 points to 14,000 points, get a 10% Bonus
- Buy 15,000 points to 29,000 points, get a 20% Bonus
- Buy 30,000 points to 39,000 points, get a 30% Bonus
- Buy 40,000 points to 50,000 points, get a 40% Bonus
And you can buy up to 50,000 Choice hotel points per calendar year.
Is It Worth It?
I always recommend doing the math to see what makes sense for your particular situation.
1. Free Nights at Certain Choice Hotels
For example, say you wanted to stay at the Quality Hotel Delfino Venezia Mestre on a trip to Venice, Italy.
Rooms here cost ~$130+ or 10,000 Choice hotel points per night.

You could buy 17,000 Choice hotel points for $187 with this deal, and get a 3,400 point bonus (17,000 X 20% bonus). For a total of 20,400 Choice hotel points. That’s enough for a 2-night stay!
The cash price of 2 nights at this particular hotel would be ~$260. Meaning you’d save ~$73 ($260 – $187) on your stay! Enough for LOTS of extra Italian pizza and pasta. 
2. Earning the Southwest Companion Pass
And don’t forget, you can transfer Choice hotel points to Southwest. You’ll get 1,800 Southwest points for every 6,000 Choice hotel points you transfer. This can help folks who are close to earning a Southwest Companion Pass!
That said, hotel points transfers will only count towards the Companion Pass through March 31, 2017. Plus, you have to call Choice hotels to make the transfer, and they say it can take 2 to 6 weeks.
In my experience it usually doesn’t take that long (~10 days). But if you plan on buying and transferring Choice hotel points to Southwest, I’d do it sooner rather than later!
Bottom Line
Through April 20, 2017, you can get up to a 40% bonus when you buy Choice hotel points.
The bonus you’ll get depends on the number of points you purchase. And the more Choice hotel points you buy, the bigger bonus you’ll earn!
This deal could make sense for folks who need to a few more points for a specific award stay. Or if you’re trying to earn the Southwest Companion Pass! Because you can transfer hotel points to earn the Companion Pass through March 31, 2017.
As always, I suggest doing the math to see what makes sense for you.
