Choice Privileges Announces an All-New Rewards Experience
Choice Privileges is launching an all‑new rewards experience in early 2026, promising more rewards more frequently, and faster Elite status.
Some on the new features include:
- Rewards every five nights: Members will gain milestone rewards like bonus points and gift cards every five qualifying nights between status tiers.
- Faster paths to status: Members can reach Gold Elite status at just five nights, Platinum Elite status at 15 nights and Diamond Elite status at 35 nights, and enjoy rewards like room upgrades, preferred parking, and Elite welcome gifts. With each tier requiring five fewer nights than before, Elite status will become more attainable than ever. Members can also qualify for status faster through Elite Qualifying Credits earned through hotel stays and through spending with the Choice Privileges Mastercard® on travel and everyday purchases, like home improvement stores, grocery stores, and gas stations.
- Titanium status: A new top-tier status, achievable at 55 nights or at 110,000 Elite Qualifying Credits. This tier introduces the program’s most exclusive benefit—the Titanium travel award. With this perk, members can book one room for up to seven nights at 400+ premium properties around the world for just half the points. This includes Choice Hotels brands, such as Cambria Hotels and Radisson Blu, as well as global partners like Bluegreen Vacations.
- Return and Earn: This feature will reward members with 1,000 bonus points after their 2nd and 3rd qualifying stays each year.
- Lasting recognition: Points will never expire for Elite status holders, and a status soft landing benefit will ensure that Elite status is never lost all at once. Starting in 2027, Elite members who don’t travel as frequently will only drop a single tier per year.
- Points sharing: Members will be able to transfer points to friends and family. Coming later in 2026.
