Rules and Regulations

Choice Privileges Loyalty Services, LLC is the owner and operator of the Choice Privileges^® Rewards Program (the "Program"). As used in these Rules, the term “Choice” means Choice Privileges Loyalty Services, LLC and its corporate affiliates.

Choice provides these Rules and Regulations (these “Rules”) for the Program. Choice may amend these Rules at any time. For Canadian residents, the Program is owned by Choice Hotels Canada, Inc. and administered by Choice.

General Program Information

The effective date of these updated Rules is July 25, 2023. The following sets the rules of the Choice Privileges Rewards Program (the “Program”) and supersedes any previous Rules. Your participation in the Program is governed by these Rules and you should read and understand them.

• Program is subject to change

  Choice may add, modify or delete any Program term or condition, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, and may terminate the Program at any time without notice.

When you receive your Member number, Choice will inform you when you are eligible to receive Hotel Benefits and earn Choice Privileges points. Choice will not apply Choice Privileges points to your Member Account, nor provide you with Hotel Benefits, before approving your Member Application and activating your Member Number.

If you change your address, it may limit our ability to mail certain items or communications outside the U.S.

• Earning Choice Privileges Points - U.S. and Canada Members:

  While most Choice hotel stays earn Choice Privileges points, Choice hotels are independently owned & operated and certain brands or locations as well as third-party non-franchised hotels may not participate. Unless specified otherwise (in a specific promotion, for example), reservations must be made through Choice channels in order to qualify for Choice Privileges points. Point-eligible reservations for Ascend Hotel Collection all-inclusive resorts or casino locations cannot be made directly with the hotel. Certain hotel rate plans also do not earn Choice Privileges points. Some of the rates that do not qualify for points include rooms booked at rates below $40 USD per night, certain hotel-initiated promotions, reward night stays, complimentary rooms, rooms paid for as part of a convention or meeting, rooms booked through a travel agent or third party online retailer including online travel agencies (unless otherwise expressly noted), wholesale packages, group tours, and stays booked using the employee discount or the friends and family discount.

Point Forfeiture Policy

• You must remain an active Member

  Members must remain active in the Program to retain the points they accumulate. If a Member is not active for 18 consecutive calendar months, that Member forfeits all accumulated Choice Privileges points. Any “Qualifying Activity” keeps your points active for 18 additional months, beginning with the first month in which the activity is completed through the 18th month of inactivity. A qualifying activity is completed when points post or are removed from your account.

• Qualifying Activities

  Qualifying Activities include completing a qualified point-eligible stay, redeeming Choice Privileges points, earning Choice Privileges points from a purchase from using your Choice Privileges^® Mastercard^® card, earning points with one of our partner programs, purchasing Choice Privileges points, or referring a friend.*

• Non-Qualifying Activities

  Not all activities count toward maintaining an active status in the Choice Privileges Rewards Program. The following are some examples of non-qualifying activities that do not count toward maintaining an active status in the Choice Privileges Rewards Program: completing a non-point-eligible stay (such as a complimentary stay or other stay that does not qualify to earn Choice Privileges points) or registering for a promotion.

  *The refer-a-friend option awards points to your Member account when a friend enrolls in the Choice Privileges Rewards Program and completes a point-eligible stay. Your points will remain active for an additional 18 consecutive calendar months based on the date the points post to your account (not from the date when you refer your friend). The refer-a-friend option is only available to residents of the U.S.

Elite Membership

Elite levels of the Choice Privileges Rewards Program provide additional benefits over standard Program Membership. Current Elite Membership levels are Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Elite Membership levels are subject to change at any time, with or without notice, as are the benefits associated with them.

• Earning Elite status

  Elite status is based upon the number of point-eligible or reward nights stayed per calendar year. Elite Gold Membership is earned after staying 10 point-eligible or reward nights per calendar year. Elite Platinum Membership is earned after staying 20 point-eligible or reward nights per calendar year. Elite Diamond Membership is earned after staying 40 point-eligible or reward nights per calendar year.

  You must qualify for Elite level status each calendar year. Qualifying (point-eligible) stays completed by Members with primary earning preferences set to airline miles  do count toward the number of nights required to reach Elite status Membership. Non-qualifying stays, however, such as stays booked under certain rate codes, do not count toward the number of nights needed to reach Elite Membership regardless of earning preference (Choice Privileges points or airline miles).

• Earning Elite Status at Extended Stay brands

  • WoodSpring Suites does not participate in the Choice Privileges programs, and no point-eligible or reward nights are earned for stays there.
  • Effective 2/1/2022 stays at Extended Stay brands MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay Hotel, and Everhome Suites earn point-eligible or reward nights at rates that are based on the length of stay.
  • For stays of 6 nights or fewer, stays at these Extended Stay brands earn one point-eligible or reward night toward earning elite status for every qualifying night stayed. [This rate also applies to all dual-brand extended stay hotels (i.e., a Sleep Inn or a MainStay Suites in the same building as another Choice hotel), no matter what the length of stay is).]
  • For extended stays of 7 nights or more, you earn one point-eligible or reward night toward earning elite status for every two qualifying nights stayed. Point-eligible or reward nights earning at Extended Stay brands is capped at 15 point-eligible or reward nights per stay, and no point-eligible or reward nights are earned for nights 31+ of a stay.
  • A “stay” is any number of consecutive nights at one hotel regardless of check-ins or check-outs.

• Elite point earning bonuses on point-eligible stays

  Elite Gold Members receive a 10% point earn bonus on base Choice Privileges points (i.e., on the amount of Choice Privileges points earned on a point-eligible stay). Elite Platinum Members receive a 25% point earn bonus on base points. Elite Diamond Members receive a 50% point earn bonus on base points.

  Bonus points are awarded beginning with the first stay after Elite Status is earned. The point bonus only applies to stays where Choice Privileges points are earned. The bonus does not apply to airline miles, points earned from the Choice Privileges® Mastercard® or to any other promotion, including other Choice bonus point promotions (unless the promotion clearly states otherwise).

• Qualifying nights

  Elite Members only earn Elite status (i.e., qualifying nights) on one room per stay.

• Participation may vary

  Elite benefits may vary depending on hotel and location and may not be available in all locations or for all brands. Most Choice hotels are independently owned and operated.

Room availability guarantee is not available for reservations for reward nights or Points Plus Cash nights and is not available when a nationally or internationally recognized event is occurring within fifty miles of a participating hotel (as determined by Choice Privileges in its sole discretion) or during periods of natural disasters or other emergencies impacting the region.

• Diamond Elite Free Breakfast

The arbitration will be administered by JAMS. For claims greater than $250,000, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced will apply. For claims less than or equal to $250,000, the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced will apply.

Nothing in this paragraph will preclude the parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the provision in this paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) will govern any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms. Either party may commence arbitration by providing to JAMS and the other party to the dispute a written demand for arbitration, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested (“Arbitration Demand”).

  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the parties agrees that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The appointed arbitrator may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the state law designated above. In making his or her determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term or provision of these Terms. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned written decision with respect to the dispute (the “Award”) to each party, who will promptly act in accordance the Award. Any Award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed or enforced in any court having jurisdiction, including any court having jurisdiction over either party or its assets. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and will not be subject to appeal or review. Each party will advance one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, the costs of the attendance of the court reporter at the arbitration hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration arising out of or related to these Terms, the arbitrators will award to the prevailing party, if any, costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with that aspect of its claims or defenses on which it prevails, and any opposing awards of costs and attorneys’ fees awards will be offset. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding, the hearing and the Award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, or confirmation of an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by any applicable law. Any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration hereunder will be treated as confidential by the parties, witnesses and arbitrators, and will not be disclosed to any third person (other than witnesses or experts), except as required by any applicable law or except if such evidence was obtained from the public domain or is otherwise obtained independently of the arbitration.
