As the FT mantra goes: YMMV

But for me, Choice has failed too many times to continue giving them money. I've had properties refuse an upgrade as a Diamond to a downstairs room, called CP and told I have to work that out with the property. I've had a property post a stay on the wrong date and they denied points for the actual stay on that night. I've had a property delay posting a stay and told they had seven days to post, once the seven days were up I was told they had 30 days to post.

I don't even want to go into the details of a hooker trying to follow me into a room...

Three strikes (and a really foul ball!) and they are out (and I'm not counting minor issues).

Enjoy your stays and I hope you don't have the problems I've encountered.
