I agree with 777 there. I have the card and NEVER got any points. Come to hink of it, i filled an application, sent it in and NEVER got the card. I just checked my Frequent Leather Keeper (where I keep all my affinity program credentials). I quit staying at BW's mostly because there are very few in my destinations and frankly they're too cheap for my taste.

In the realm of worthless programs, my vote goes to CHOICE PRIVILEGES, from the folks at Choice Hotels International.

I signed up for their program on the Internet when I realized I was going to spend a LOT of time at a Quality resort in Brazil, during an installation of the equipment I sell. I spent over a month at the place. With subsequent 3 and 3 day stays over a 2 month period afterward. In fact, I am going there tomorrow (7/20).

I faxed all of the receipts to them when I was back in the U.S. in Aprl. To this day, NO POINTS. Then I read you only accrue points for stays in the U.S. but can use them for stays OUTSIDE the U.S. as well as in. How stupid is this? Then the card is made out of paper. Give me a break.

It's going in the fireplace.
