While still technically correct that the current (and similar stay 2/get 8K points throughout the year) promo can get you a night at some Choice properties, those numbers have been drastically reduced over the past 5-10 years.
Yes, Choice has aggressively devalued the program in recent years. Why would Choice blocking award bookings at some of their most desirable properties be an argument against them devaluing the affected properties though?
