Last year, Choice ran a promotion to help guests cope with soaring gas costs by giving away gas cards for hotel stays and this summer, the program is offering prepaid cash cards. Choice Privileges members who stay three separate times at Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites or Ascend Collection properties with arrival dates between May 21 and Aug. 13, 2009 will receive enough points to redeem for a $50 prepaid cash card.

Choice Privileges members who stay at MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay, Econo Lodge or Rodeway Inn hotels in the U.S. and Canada between May 21 and Aug. 13, 2009 will earn double points for each stay. Bookings must be made at choicehotels.com or (800) 424-6423.
