Choice Hotels to acquire Radisson Hotels Americas

 

I can't even count now the number of time that ownership of Radisson Hotels or its subsidiaries has changed hands over the past few decades and it continues this week with Choice Hotels announcing the acquisition of Radisson Hotels Americas. The Americas portion of Radisson only emerged about a year ago after the parent company had to split their Radisson family of brands in two due to Chinese ownership and U.S. privacy rules. Thus they created Radisson Hotels Worldwide and Radisson Hotel Americas, the latter to appease to the U.S. government. It is the latter as well that is subject of this purchase.

Choice Privileges summer offer: Stay twice & earn up to 8,000 bonus points

Choice Hotels summer promotion is here and it is the same offer we used to always see from them! They word the promotion differently in terms of get a free night or get a $50 gift card. In the end the two promos are the same, they will award you enough bonus points after you complete 2 separate stays to have 8,000 points after those stays. This time it is being promoted as the gift card offer as the promotion also sees the redemption rate of those $50 gift cards halved from 16,000 points to 8,000 points. With award night 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 but there is no harm in redeeming for a gift card especially if Choice isn’t your primary choice of hotel programs. This time the promotion is limited to U.S. or Canadian residents only.

Choice Hotels: Stay Twice & Earn a Free Night (earn up to 8,000 bonus points)

In the end the two promos are the same, they will award you enough bonus points after you complete 2 separate stays to have 8,000 points after those stays. This time it is the stay twice and earn a free night offer. The promotion will award you with 5,000 to 8,000 bonus points and with award night starting as low as 8,000 points you would have enough points to redeem for a free night.

Summary of global hotel systemwide bonus points promotions – December Edition

Here is your monthly update of all the global hotel bonus points promotions that are available. One of the easiest ways to rack up lots of hotel points is to take advantage of these systemwide bonuses that come from many of the big chain programs and also from the lesser known programs. Unless you are staying at a boutique hotel or perhaps an independent hotel most other hotels out there have a bonus. So take advantage of it! Most of these systemwide bonuses simply require you to register beforehand and they do not affect hotel pricing as long as you book a point eligible rate which are most rates out there. Of course booking through a third party site like Expedia or Rocketmiles does not count as most chains only award points on bookings that are made directly with them.  Here are all the current promotions that are available to everyone this month:

Earn 2x points for stays at Choice Hotels from Nov 29 to Dec 31

 
We’ve been without a systemwide promo from Choice Hotels for a couple of weeks now – in part due to their Members Madness promo last week but now they have revealed a good offer for stays for the rest of the year (well stays from November 29 and on). The offer awards double points on all qualifying stays which is good for those longer or more expensive stays since you aren’t capped with a flat rate bonus.

Huge bonus for a few days only! 20,000 bonus AeroMexico Club Premier Points with just one Choice Hotels stay

 
Over the course of this year AeroMexico and Choice Hotels have run some very lucrative stay promotions. First it was up to 10,000 points for one stay in March and April then they had up to 15,000 points for one stay in June/July, a 10,000 bonus point offer for start of September (and the end of September). Now we know why there is a break in the 10,000 point offer for this month and that’s because they are offering 20,000 points until September 19! So you really only have 5 days to get in on this offer but it can super worth it as that’s a huge bonus to get! If you can get yourself to even a cheap Sleep Inn or something like that over the next few days do it!

Earn up to 5,000 bonus points for stays at Choice Hotels from Sep 12 to Oct 31

Wow! Choice Hotels changed it up for their next systemwide promotion! It’s not earn a free night or earn a gift card offer where they bonus your stay(s) to 8,000 points. This time they have a multi-night offer that sees them awarding 2,000 points when you complete a 2 night stay or 5,000 points for a 3 night or longer stay. Not the most valuable of offers but better than nothing – ideally your best stay is 3 nights to maximize the offer.

Earn 10,000 bonus AeroMexico Club Premier Points with just one Choice Hotels stay

Over the course of this year AeroMexico and Choice Hotels have run some very lucrative stay promotions. First it was up to 10,000 points for one stay in March and April then they had up to 15,000 points for one stay in June/July and now they have returned with a flat 10,000 bonus point offer for September. This latest offer has small stay windows – Sep 1 to 11 and Sep 20 to 30 so there isn’t a lot of time to take advantage of it. I do want to advise everyone on one potential issue with this promotion and that is having it post to your account. One of our long time readers Davidd418 has had a heck of a time getting the 10,000 points from the first promotion for a stay in Mexico but did eventually get them after many months and many emails. Click here to read the comments to learn more on his efforts. He is also going to let us know how things went for the summer 15K offer as he was going to have a stay here in Canada for that one!

Earn up to 10,000 bonus AeroMexico Club Premier Points with just one Choice Hotels stay

 

Here’s an offer that has the potential to provide a lot of value – AeroMexico’s Club Premier is offering bonus points for stays at Choice Hotels. I should rephrase that – for a single stay and if you have never stayed at a Choice Hotel before you’ll get the big bonus of 10,000 Club Premier points. That’s right 10,000 points for a simple one night stay and with Choice Hotels having a lot of budget locations you could complete a very cheap stay to earn those points. Now, 10,000 points isn’t enough for a flight on its own but it gets close – when we just check one way flights within Mexico were going for as low as 12,000 points  and one way flights within North America (we checked Toronto to New York City) were available at 22,000 points. Ideally then this offer is for adding extra points or topping off your Club Premier account. If you don’t utilize Club Premier and don’t think you’ll earn any more points beyond a stay like this then no need to bother.

Choice Privileges: Double Points on all Choice Hotels stays in Canada (and beyond)

 

It is nice to see Choice Hotels changing up their systemwide bonus promotions as they have pretty much cycled through the stay twice get up to 8,000 points offer for the better part of a couple years now. Their newest systemwide promo sees the program offering double points on all stays worldwide (save for a few countries*) from January 18 to February 28. No need to complete to two stays as the points are awarded on all eligible stays including a single night stay. They do cap the maximum number of bonus points you can earn at 30,000 during the promotional period.
