The promo is going on now through May 25. You still have time to get some stays in. Register first at https://www.choicehotels.com/deals/free-night. Then switch and take advantage of the Wyndham promo (https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hotel-...ee-hotel-night) and then you can take another look after that and figure out what's best for you.

Edit: to address your edit, yes--that's it, and yes, you earn 8000 points for every 2 stays. So if you start this Sunday, you can stay 20 nights and earn 80,000 points!

Correct, I check scores/reviews on Expedia or Hotels.com and then go back to Choice's site to do the actual booking.

I also always link to the Choice website from the TopCashBack cashback portal which gets me an extra 5% cashback. Easier to do from laptop (or maybe tablet) than phone but not impossible on a phone, but it's not as easy as using the Choice app on the phone.
