Your Choice Privileges loyalty points
We know you have a lot on your mind during this period of uncertainty as it relates to COVID-19. That’s why our most loyal customers no longer have to worry about their Choice Privileges points expiring.
Specifically, we have paused points expiration until May 31, 2020 allowing Choice Privileges members more time to redeem points and achieve greater flexibility when planning future travel. We understand that earning and maintaining Elite status for 2021 is also important to many of you. As the current situation evolves, we will continue to evaluate opportunities around Elite status and will keep you updated on all loyalty program changes through our website.
Our commitment to health and safety
The health and safety of guests is a top priority for Choice Hotels and its thousands of independently owned and operated franchised hotels:
- We have shared best practices with our hotel owners regarding heightened cleaning, sanitation and disinfecting protocols. Our vendors provide our hotels with training to meet these standards and necessary cleaning supplies that may be used to combat the spread of COVID-19.
- We have adjusted most on-property food and beverage service to focus on pre-packaged offerings.
- We have activated our response teams to provide around-the-clock guidance and support to our hotels.
- We continue to provide our hotel owners with up-to-date information and training from vendors and health authorities (including the CDC website) through our online portal.
- Hotels may be changing services and amenities to comply with local jurisdictional requirements and support public health best practices to flatten the spread of the Coronavirus.
