Hi there! We see that another commenter answered this question. They were correct. You may redeem a free night for as little as 6,000 points. Reward nights worldwide are available from 6,000 to 35,000 points. For more details, visit our website: https://www.choicehotels.com/choice-...ations#rewards. If there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know. Thanks for being a Choice Privileges member. Safe travels! *Julio

I just searched for award nights in Stockholm and Oslo and all are now showing sold out. I did the same search a few days ago. Do you think this is in response to tomorrow's Daily Getaways?
If anyone can find award availability for Stockholm in June, please let me know.

Appreciate the reply. I searched if there is a limit on how far ahead can one look for award and I couldnt find that on Choice program web page or when I googled. So now I know. Just needed a nite in Tokyo for a layover. Will check within the 100 days. Thank you!
* I did a quick search for Aug and all I get is sold out on many days.

This is pretty disappointing. Just last week, there was availability almost everyday. It seems like these hotels have now put a block on booking with points for every single day of the summer for Sweden and Norway hotels.

Nothing in all of Japan?
Is is this a website problem?
Is is there an easier way to find a calendar of available rooms?

Anyone else nervous about a Choice devaluation immediately after the Choice point sale today?

In years past it has taken about 10 business days. Generally not a quick deposit.

Choice hotels has made a significant number of their more desirable overseas properties entirely unavailable for award bookings... right before today's big annual Daily Getaways sale (where they flood the market with cheap Choice points).

Actually, I think if there's a deliberate blocking of Choice overseas properties, that would probably argue against a devaluation. Choice figured out a better way to devalue several years ago with the institution of 30,000 point redemptions, initially available at only a few properties and now at many more, and variable points pricing per day combined with their already existing policy of quarterly changes in the range of points required for a redemption at each property. 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.

I've seen what Nordic Choice hotels get paid by Choice (US) for redemption bookings. And given how strong the USD is against the relevant Nordic currencies as of late, any point price hike for these properties would just be Choice (US) milking its loyalty program and customers even further.

Definitely a Choice issue or intentional action by Choice.
All Scandinavian properties can still be booked with Nordic Choice points / all Japan properties can still be booked with Choice Guest Club. These are both separate regional programs, but the inventory has historically been similar.

And I'm a Nordic Choice Club member with beaucoup points in that program too. Everything on that end seems fine when I am trying to use Nordic Choice Club points this week.
