Any reward programs that can be converted to Choice Privileges?
 

Hi all, I know Choice Privileges allows you to transfer their points to several programs, but are there any programs that you can convert to Choice Privileges? Or are there any other ways to earn Choice Privileges? (I am already an e-rewards member.) Thanks!

Edit: I think I found at least one answer here: https://www.choiceprivilegesmall.com/

You can transfer Amex points to Choice. Most of the time it isn't worth it, in my opinion, as Choice redemptions only get you about 0.5 cents/point or so. The exceptions are Scandinavian Choice Properties, Japanese Choice Properties, and some cash + points redemptions.

At least 3, but:

1. Amex MR transfers, but at a poor transfer ratio (as OhDoctor already pointed out).

2. Diners Club Club Rewards transfers at a much better ratio, but you can't apply for a Diners Club US card if you don't already have one.

3. Amtrak Guest Rewards transfer to Choice, but only for those with elite status at Amtrak.

As to earning, you can earn on Avis/Budget car rentals, though I seem to recall that you have to sign up for their rental program and log in before you select to earn with a partner (whether that's an airline or a hotel program such as Choice). Double check in the Avis forum about that if you're interested.

The more complete list of earning options is here:

Thanks to both of you!
