Choice Hotels early summer systemwide bonus promotion is the return of up to 8,000 Privileges points after you complete 2 separate stays by July 7, 2026.
The actual promotion is marketed as Stay Twice get a $50 gas gift card as the redemption rate of select $50 gift cards are cut in half from 16,000 points to 8,000 points.
With award nights starting as low as 8,000 points you would get more value out of the points for an actual hotel stay over the $50 gift card. However there is no harm in redeeming for a gift card especially if Choice isn’t your primary choice of hotel programs!
