Now the question is - is it a one per member bonus, or the member is eligible for any number of bonus every 2 stays? There's nothing in T&C.

In all of the previous promotions built around this concept, Choice has given a free night for every two stays during the promotion period without limit.

That is not in question. There would need to be a specific limit if that were the case. There is not a limit. You will get 8,000 for every 2 stays within the time frame

Can the night stay paid with "points + cash" or points only still qualify?

Don't just read the T&Cs, read the FAQ:

https://www.choicehotels.com/promo/faqs

It's right there as a question and answer:

How many times can I receive the free night bonus?

You can earn an unlimited number of bonuses! After you register, you’ll earn points for a future free night after every two separate qualifying stays.

I read through the Ts & Cs, however, unknowingly ignored the FAQs.
Thank you very much - appreciated ^

Has anyone gotten points from the "secret site" I was told to wait until the end of March, here we are, and no points.

Hey, there! Glad you took the time to get in touch about this. I understand how this might have come as a surprise, and we regret to hear you couldn't get those points as planned. If you still haven't received the bonus, we'd like a chance to take another look into this. Please send us a private message so we can get started. Include your membership number, full name, email, telephone, and complete mailing address. Hope we get a chance to connect soon! *Julio

Would anyone be able to elaborate on the "secret site"? I have recently started using Choice Hotels again and just booked my second stay during this promotion period. I am looking forward to my free night. I would also like the opportunity to earn points if possible. Thank you!

A promotion that has now ended.

The secret site promotion was a lousy promotion compared to the "free night" (really just 8000+ points) promotion. It was only of value because there were either no other promotions going on back then, or else (during part of the "secret site" period) just a timid double points promotion.

You do realize that the "free night" promotion doesn't actually get you a full free night unless you find a hotel that only charges 8000 points per night? It's still one of the best recurring promotions in the hotel program world, but it shouldn't be overstated.

Now a dead period while we wait for and speculate what the next promotion will be and when it will begin. This used to be the time I would shift my low-level stays to Wyndham Rewards, but with the devaluation there, that's not particularly lucrative anymore. So now I don't know what to do. I guess I will just look for the best price I can find regardless of the brand or kick the tires on Priceline.
