In that current thread with the "survey" of opinions about the value of hotel points, attention has focused on other chains (e.g., SPG, Marriott, HH, Hyatt, PC, etc.), not Choice. One person did suggest 0.5 - 1.5 cpp for Choice, a remarkably wide range (high 3x low?!). How do others with experience of Choice, both the earning (how easy to get Choice points?) and "spending" (redemption) of Choice points, value them, that is what value do informed FTers put on the Choice points they have or are going after, and what value do they expect for those points when they redeem them?

(Ingy, I'm not trying to move the discussion of hotel point value from the other thread to here. But I see only that one post there about Choice points, and this thread is exclusively about Choice, so I imagine it attracts those most knowledgeable about Choice point and properties.)

None of those Choice brands is other than a "utilitarian" choice or one of necessity (e.g., smaller town with these the only option, or quick stay and don't care to spend more for a few hours of sleep before moving on). Those upscale options for redemption at Preferred or Summit properties might appeal. Do they make Choice a worthwhile hotel program if one doesn't contemplate redeeming points at their own hotels in the US? What sort of per point value does one see when redeeming with them? (If one didn't redeem the 25-50K per night that the website says they take, what would one spend in $$$ for a night's stay at one of them?)

This thread with its attempt to assess the various Choice properties, which may vary greatly in quality, is a great idea. Thanks, OP, for your efforts.^^^
