While not personally one of my favorite loyalty programs, Choice Privileges is a niche program that does have some sweet spots. They often have lucrative promotions for stays, and also often sell points at a discount. Travis has explained why he thinks…
In mid-February I first wrote about how Daily Getaways will be returning this year. For those of you not familiar, Daily Getaways is a promotion, sponsored by the US Travel Association, which has been offered annually since 2011 to encourage US tourism.…

A couple months ago Choice Hotels announced they would begin offering elite members a welcome amenity upon check-in. They weren't exactly clear on what that would be, though they did say there would be an option to receive bonus points instead of the…
