Choice Privileges makes a triumphant return to the promotional ring with its “Stay 2 Times, Earn a Free Night” promotion — a close runner up for Best Bonus in last year’s Freddie Award voting.

From Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, Choice Privilege members who make two separate qualifying stays at any Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion or MainStay Suites hotel throughout the U.S. will earn 6,500 bonus points, which along with the regular points earned through those two stays, is enough for a free night.

And therein lies the real strength of this promotion: Members receive points, not a time-limited voucher. There is no limit to the number of times the bonus can be earned.

If Rodeway Inns or Econo Lodge are more your style, note that through the same period, members of the EA$Y CHOICE program will receive double stamps for each night of a qualifying stay, to a maximum of 10 per stay. Members who redeem an EA$Y CHOICE card during this promotion will receive one entry into the EA$Y CHOICE sweepstakes for a chance to win $10,000.
