New Partnership Lets You Earn and Redeem Choice Points at Casinos
Choice Hotels has entered into a strategic agreement with Penn National Gaming, the nation’s largest regional and most broadly diversified gaming company with 41 properties across 19 states.
The agreement signals an expansion in benefits for loyalty members of both Choice Privileges, and Penn’s mychoice loyalty program members who will have access to new and expanded benefits.
Once the partnership is fully implemented, Choice Privileges members will be able to book Penn properties directly with Choice, while earning and redeeming Choice Privileges points for their stays. Slated to roll out in phases this year, the alliance will offer reciprocal earning and redemption benefits.
“With these exciting Penn properties joining Choice and our Ascend Hotel Collection network, we will be able to provide guests even more upscale travel experiences and a wider variety of fun and entertainment on the road,” Robert McDowell, chief commercial officer of Choice Hotels, said in the press release.
