Yep.

I tend to travel (Europe) in "wholesale lots"; that is, I usually have at least two and up to ten of my immediate family with me. Choice Privileges has allowed my to score up to 28(!) room-nights in Dublin at a pretty nice hotel, twelve room-nights in Paris (good location, free breakfast), and I just sent my SIL and her SO to Rome and Venice where they stayed at Choice properties on my points. There's no way I could have done that with Hilton, Marriott, or Starwood.
