I also think MOST frequent travellers don't really understand the Choice program. And who can blame them? It's not covered very well in the blogosphere.
I also think most travellers should NOT be buying Choice points. Yes, there are sweet spots, but you generally have to be a VERY frequent traveller to find them. MOST Choice hotels are not particularly well priced on points, and aren't particularly good hotels!
Most of the major readership miles/points bloggers in the US seemed to have covered it at least as well as two years ago when they sold out way faster. The supply was ramped up big time this year and that seems to have been the the big difference from prior years when these packages were way harder to get. It also helped that WN clamped down on what transfers meant.
