Say today I want to make a hotel reservation and earn 600 southwest points. Tomorrow, I want to make a Cruise reservation and I want to earn Choice Hotel points...

In regards to 2.

I have my southwest card as my default payment method on Choice Hotels.

Currently, there is a promotion for 5 Choice points per dollar when booking a Carnival Cruise.

If I book a cruise, say it is $1000, I will get 5,000 Choice points, regardless if I have my loyalty program set to Southwest, or do I have to go into my profile and change my loyalty program to Choice?
I think the manner in which points/miles are earned is determined at the time of your stay and not the time of reservation (for hotel stays), assuming you are paying at checkout. I don't know the answer regarding your second question - if I had to guess, I'd think you would earn Choice points regardless for an external promo.
