The cynic in me thinks this new "program" may just be an easy way for Choice to jack up their point redemption levels for weekend nights without people noticing.

But I will say, for a little while I've been looking at reserving a property in St. Petersburg, FL (Comfort Inn North) for a weeknight in late March. I do believe the point price was 20k previously but I see that it's now down to 16k.

Also, it appears that the FlexRewards link for Florida is working now.
