Choice Hotels summer systemwide bonus promotion is out and they brought back the offer of 8,000 bonus Privileges points after you complete 2 separate stays by September 2 in Canada and worldwide. This time it appears to be a full-on global promotion as there are no terms stating residency restrictions.
The actual promotion is marketed as Stay Twice get a $50 gift card as the redemption rate of select $50 gift cards are cut in half from 16,000 points to 8,000 points. With award nights starting as low as 8,000 points you would get more value out of the points for an actual hotel stay over the $50 gift card. However there is no harm in redeeming for a gift card especially if Choice isn’t your primary choice of hotel programs.
The up to 8,000 bonus points offer:
Earn up to 8,000 Bonus Privileges Points when you complete 2 separate stays at participating Choice® hotels Worldwide. Register and book now for stays until Sep 2, 25 Click here for more details and to register for/book this offer (Registration is required)
WoodSpring Suites® hotels, Mainstay Suites®, Everhome Suites®, Suburban Studios® and Ascend Hotel Collection® all-inclusive resorts, among others, are not participating brands.
Earn 10% cash back in addition to the bonus points
When you book and stay with Choice Hotels in Canada you can earn 10% cash back on those stays via the cash back app, Paymi. This is over and above the points you will earn on these stays for being a Choice Privileges member and the points/miles/cash back from your credit card as this is a card linked offer.

The best cards to use for travel purchases like Choice Hotel stays
If you can, you will want to use a card with travel accelerator (it’s been ages since we had a Choice Privileges credit card in Canada) for your Choice Hotels purchase and just make sure you have that card linked in your Paymi account.
Some of the best options for cards with travel accelerators are:
- The Platinum Card from American Express (2 points per dollar valued at 2% to 4% or more)
- Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Privilege Card (3 points per dollar valued at 3%)
- Desjardins Odyssey World Elite Mastercard (3% back in BONUS DOLLARS)
- BMO Ascend World Elite Mastercard (5 points per dollar valued at 3.34%)
- ATB World Elite Mastercard (Residents of Alberta only – 8 points per dollar at some but not all Choice brands valued at 4% – see the list of eligible brands here)
