Whereas these idiots at Choice Privileges seem to have the topsy-turvy view that they can encourage loyalty by offering free rooms for short-notice business trips while blacking out pre-planned vacation rooms.

My points are on their way to United
I find the vast majority of Choice hotels I want to redeem at still have rooms available for points 75 days out.

But if you don't want to learn how to work the Choice system to your advantage, go ahead, bye.
