Redeeming the promo free night at various Choice hotels
Any guess as to how many of the "1500" hotels at which two stays at a Choice Hotel would yield a free night (for 8,000 points) if it weren't for EconoLodges and Rodeway Inns?

So I've used 8000 points/night redemption at several hotels, and none of them have been in the ex-stamps tier of Choice (the 5pts/$ earning tier in current terms, I guess).

Sep 16 - Nov 30
Dec 1 - Jan 31
Feb 1 - Apr 15
Apr 16 - Jun 30
Jul 1 – Sep 15
and the points required for the current period and the next period appear on a hotel's page on the Choice site. For example, you can currently see the points required for:
Sep 16 - Nov 30
Dec 1 - Jan 31
on the Choice site.

I just reddemed 8,000 points for a weekend night at the Rodeway inn at fort Lauderdale airport. This is a better property than most of the well known chains. It is also a good deal considering the discounted LPGA rate was $127.99 for the same night. I also had 3200 points expiring from my account by 12/31. Win/Win for me.
