An easy way to get a nearly-useless amount of Delta miles, perhaps! You wasted a credit card pull for what you thought was 1600 Delta miles but is actually only 1000 Delta miles unless you do something more???

There are other ways to get that 2k, but they require you to move some activity from earning to Delta directly to earning to Choice. For example, you could actually make some non-trivial purchases with said Choice Visa card (but then you wouldn't earn your normal miles you presumably earn from some other card you usually use).

Perhaps the simplest is to rent a car from Enterprise:

That's exactly 2000 points if you can meet all the requirements.

For a list of possibilites (shopping, etc), see the Earn column on this page:
