As a members of the Choice Privileges Rewards Program, we know you can earn Choice Privileges points when staying at a Choice Hotel. In fact, Choice Privileges members earn (depending on the brand of Choice Hotel) five or ten points for every eligible dollar spent. But what if you are in the market for airline miles instead?
Although the earning capacity for miles on a stay at a Choice property is much less than the earning capacity for Choice Hotel points, Choice Privileges has a number of airline programs in which you can opt to earn miles during your stay instead of Choice Privileges points. The number of miles you earn on your stay depends on the airline. Most are about 250 miles per stay. You can view the airlines and mileage earning potential here.
I want to point out that this option would probably only be worth doing if you are really trying to accumulate airline miles on a certain airline and are only staying a couple of nights at a Choice Hotel. The five points per dollar spent if you opt for Choice Privileges points will likely be many more than 250 miles!
