Choice Privileges has launched its latest promotion on purchased points, offering up to a 45% discount. This is an opportunity to buy points for just 0.57 cents each, and to my knowledge, that’s the lowest cost we’ve ever seen from the program for buying points.

@Ben, you might want to add a caveat to the expiration section. Yes, redeeming points extends the expiration, but booking and canceling a reward reservation won't extend the expiration.
This is on the heels of a major devaluation (hotels doubled in price in the Vancouver area for example) so they only gave back part of the devaluation with the added bonus.
Unlike other programs Choice lets you redeem points for almost all rooms at their properties. Which means there are suites and family rooms available for standard redemption.
It's a niche program and it is very easy to exceed 5cpm never mind 0.69
Thanks Lucky. They wanted $370 for a room; by buying points, I got a suite for $200.
Not sure if some of the links in the article are still functioning properly as of 2026. At a minimum, you might need to be logged into your Choice Privileges account in order to access the Preferred booking engine.
Also, especially for hotels in the Nordic region, some of the hotels appear on both the Choice site and the Preferred site with different pricing. Meaning you might get a better deal by doing a points comparison across both sites. Booking with Choice means you don't have extra fees to pay and sometimes you can book an upgraded room for the same number of points as the basic room. Whereas booking via Preferred means you can only get a basic room for points and you pay extra fees.
Dailygetaways had them for 0.5c
There was a sale last year for 0.51c
Choice are a steal for places like Japan and Scandinavia, even Australia. There is tremendous value that is not covered by the blogosphere thankfully.
And outside of the US, some of the hotels are excellent.

@ Bob -- Because a 45% discount gets you a better price per point than a 50% bonus.
Choice in Tokyo is no longer the value it once was. 2x the points now (Nihobashi, Kanda, Roppongi, Yokohama, etc)
Where was the sale for 0.51c? Daily getaways ended last year. Something is strange about your post.
I see said the blind man. I just glossed over the article and did not even notice the discount versus bonus difference.
Other cities are still a steal.
Takayama Ascend is a wonderful hotel with a private onsen for example.
The fact Tokyo got devalued is only proof that one tiktok video or blog post can ruin everything.
