Yes, the booking window would be based on your current elite status with Choice Privileges. If you have not achieved elite status yet, you may make your reservation personally through the program line up to 30 days prior to your planned arrival for stays in your country of residence and up to sixty days prior to your planned arrival at all other participating locations worldwide.
This reservation booking window will be extended when you reach elite status in Choice Privileges. It would be extended to a 50-day window for Elite Gold (60 days for international locations), 75 days for Elite Platinum (worldwide), and 100 days for Elite Diamond (worldwide).
For an overview of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts that can be redeemed using your points, please follow this link. You can find more specific information on this great benefit using this link.

The Preferred Hotel reservations are reserved by the specialist support team in Member Services. When you call, simply let the team know that you want to reserve one of the Preferred Hotels. They will collect the details of your stay and get you to a specialist able to confirm your reservation. We want to make sure you can take advantage of this excellent redemption option.

Thank you for your reply. It is greatly appreciated. If you contacted us after the Member Services department closed, you may have reached the central reservations team. I regret to say that the central reservations team would not be able to assist with a Preferred Hotel reservation. The specialist you spoke with should certainly have advised you to contact Member Services for assistance and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced.

@ Choice Hotels representative:
For the last few months, some of the Preferred Hotels I used to book in the past with my Choice points, are showing no more availability anymore, for example Sls South Beach, Siam Bangkok, ..
Are these Hotels no longer bookable? I understand, that hotels block dates during high or peak season, but these hotels don‘t have any availability at all...

@tom-schmitt Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Preferred Hotels is currently investigating this issue and we hope to have it resolved in the near future. My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused!

Thanks for contacting us about availability at our Preferred Hotels. I appreciate your consideration for these properties as a valued member of our Choice Privileges program. When you are browsing for a room, availability will be reflected as you've stated. This aspect of the program is an added benefit our members tend to utilize quickly and has not dissolved. If there are no options to choose from, we apologize in advance. I hope you will consider one of our other fantastic properties. If you have any other questions, let us know. Take care! *Julio

Just so you all know, I was able to book a stay at a Preferred Hotel yesterday. I just called and had no problems booking (beyond the call taking forever because I kept getting put on hold). I would encourage you if you want to book a stay just call and try to book it despite what it might say online about availability. I believe the availability not showing is part of the glitch being discussed in another thread (the one about Nordic Choice), and it doesn't mean that everything is sold out.

Thanks so much for your cooperation and understanding. *Julio

Calendar No Longer Available
When you click through on the choice hotels website to preferred hotels.. its now goes directly to the preferred hotels website. So there is no way to see the calendar or the redemption cost for the preferred hotels. Is this program still working?
