There's a
60K sign-up bonus for the new card, along with a 90K SUB for a new Choice Privileges Select card.
The Select card is a bit more interesting:
- 10x on spend at Choice hotels
- Platinum Elite status
- 5x instead of 3x on the bonus categories (gas stations, grocery stores, home improvement stores and phone plans from landline and cell phone providers)
- 30,000 points each account anniversary
- $95 annual fee (currently waived for the first year)
The 5x bonus categories are better, though they're still a bit weak for a $95 annual fee card, especially since other spend is still only at 1x. The 30,000 points each year is pretty lucrative, though.
