Choice Privileges has expanded their catalog of online booking options for free night rewards with the addition 300+ Preferred Hotel Group locations Worldwide. With this option Privileges members can now redeem points for stays at roughly half of Preferred Hotel’s global portfolio.
The points required vary based on location and range from 20,000 to 55,000 points per night. Preferred Hotel Group has 7 hotels in Canada and all of these are available with this new redemption option. Additionally, you can book these free night awards as far as 12 months out instead of Choice’s typical 100 day window for their hotel brands.
These are the nightly redemption rates for the Canadian locations:
- The Park Hotel London: 25,000 points
- Hotel Monville Montreal: 35,000 points
- Hotel 71 Quebec City: 45,000 points
- Hotel Gault Montreal: 55,000 points
- Hotel Grand Pacific Victoria: 35,000 points
- SoHo Hotel Toronto: 45,000 points
- ARC The.Hotel Ottawa: 25,000 points
Earning Choice Privileges points in Canada to be able to redeem for stays at these or other hotels isn’t the easiest of tasks. Way back when they used to have a co-brand credit card with MBNA here in Canada but that is no longer an option. Nowadays points earning is limited to staying at their hotels, buying points (they have a 50% bonus on right now until April 9), earning with their partners like Avis/Budget and that’s about it!
That being said Some of you may still be sitting on a lot of Choice Privileges points especially if you had Radisson Rewards Americas points that were transferred over after Choice’s takeover of that brand. And now you have some higher end options to use those points at domestically seeing as the majority of Choice Hotels options in Canada are low to mid level hotels in the likes of Comfort Inn, Econolodge, Radisson and so forth.
