Stay three consecutive nights with Choice Hotels with an arrival between Aug. 31 and Nov. 19, 2009 and you’ll receive enough points to redeem for a free night at the 8,000-point level. To qualify, stays must be booked at choicehotels.com or (800) 424-6423.

Only one award will be given per stay so if you stay longer than three nights, you won’t receive any additional points. Only U.S. and Canadian residents are eligible to earn the free night. Plus, you’ll earn an additional 500 points for each stay booked at choicehotels.com or (800) 424-6423 during the promotional period.

Bottom line: With this promotion, Choice Privileges will give you 8,000 points when you complete a stay of three consecutive nights or more. You can redeem these points for a free night or redeem them for other awards, such as 1,000 airline miles for 5,000 points. It isn’t as generous as the 14,000 points members received during the summer cash card promotion for three stays, but the previous promotion required three separate stays whereas you only need to complete one stay of three consecutive nights to earn a free night with this promotion.
