Frequently asked questions
How much are Choice Privileges points worth?
Choice Privileges points are worth about 0.6 cents each. Typical redemptions land between 0.5 and 0.7 cents per point, and above 0.9 cpp is excellent. Cambria Hotel Nashville at 32,000 points against a $280 cash rate returns 0.88 cpp.
What is a good redemption value for Choice points?
Target 0.8 cents per point or better. An Econo Lodge Denver night at 8,000 points against $70 returns 0.88 cpp, and Radisson Blu Chicago at 28,000 points against $220 returns 0.79 cpp. Below 0.5 cpp you are better off paying cash.
How many Choice points do I need for a free night?
Award nights range from around 8,000 points at an Econo Lodge to 32,000 at a Cambria. Choice has no blackout dates, so any available room can be booked with points, and off-peak pricing can cut the cost significantly.
How do I get more than 0.6 cents per Choice point?
The economy brands are the sweet spot — properties at 6,000-8,000 points frequently return the best cents-per-point value in the programme. Cambria Hotels give an upscale stay at a moderate point cost. Points Your Way redemptions for gift cards and experiences exist but generally return less than a hotel night.
