Promos going on now
Are there any promotions for choice going on now? I have a 3 night stay coming up this weekend and I could have sworn there was at least one promo out there but I'm searching through my emails and cannot seem to find anything.

There was a triple points promotion, but it ended Jan. 15.
Choice will not be getting any nights from me until they offer another promotion. To many other good promotions out there.

I wish that choice had a more detailed account of your point earnings like other programs so you can see the breakdown.

That's awesome, thanks. An extra 500 points is an extra 500 points. Now I wonder if they count a stay that starts on friday but also includes sunday night in this. All is says is book a stay that includes a sunday thru thursday night so I guess I will find out after this weekend if it counts.

Item 1 in the T&Cs says: "Your Extras benefit option may only be earned on qualifying point eligible stays that include at least one Sunday through Thursday night in each stay."
Isn't that clear enough that if there's one Sunday night in the stay, it counts, no matter what other nights are in the stay?
They have it horribly formatted and useless on the new site. Here are the numbers on the right from two example lines from my Q4 statement:
1987906,450
8006,360200
What the <bleep>?

No, once you register and you look below Your Extras section in your account, you see a link to Terms and Conditions:

They used to have that in reasonably formatted on the old site.

It's very timid if viewed as a promotion. Assuming even a cheap hotel of $60/night, a 3x promo would give you an extra 1200 points per night. The other typical kind of Choice promo of the past would give you 8000 points per 2 stays. Compared to that 500 points per stay is better than a poke in the eye, but not much. In fact, for more expensive properties and/or on stays longer than one night, for those at higher elite levels it may be even less than the elite bonus !

It's now on the website:
https://www.choicehotels.com/choice-privileges
(as part of the new "Introducing the new Choice Privileges®" page with a few other new bells & whistles)
FREE NIGHTS!
Take 2 separate trips between March 3 and May 5 to earn a free night at over 1,500 hotels!
Clicking on "LEARN MORE" beneath this will bring you to:
https://www.choicehotels.com/deals/free-night
The main body of this page shows "Stay between Sept. 3 and Nov. 11" but the fine print at the bottom has the correct dates. They really need more QA before going live with stuff!

Thank you, Dadofsix. Glad that they're back, and are giving advance notice, but sheesh, they sure buried the lead.
Now then: @:-) There's a reason to screenshot the t&c now - on the promo's page, not the page that confirms registration.
