You still have time to take advantage of this special offer. Choice Privileges members who complete two separate stays at participating Choice Hotels through April 30, 2010 will receive enough bonus points for a free night. To earn the free night, stay twice at eligible rates at any Choice Hotel in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe. Participating Choice Hotels brands include Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites, MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay, Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inn as well as the Ascend Collection. After you complete your second qualifying stay, enough bonus points will be added to your account within 72 hours to reach the 8,000-point award level, which is enough points for an award night at over 1,500 hotels. In addition to a free night, guests at Choice Hotels receive everyday benefits, including free continental breakfast, complimentary in-room Internet access and free parking at most locations. The free night offer is only open to Choice Privileges members residing in the U.S. (including U.S. territories), Canada, Mexico or eligible countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
