Choice Privileges Points are one of the great unsung heroes of the Points/Miles world here in the UK. They can offer incredible value, but don’t seem to capture the public imagination in quite the same way as other Points/Miles. The current sale offers a targeted bonus of between 30%-50% more Points when purchasing 5,000+ Points by 12th November 2017.

A 50% bonus would work out at about 0.56p (0.73 cents) per Point, which is the cheapest I can remember seeing them and can offer some extraordinary value if you redeem smartly. A 30% bonus works out at ~0.641p (0.846 cents), which really isn’t bad either.

I’ve written at length before about the 4* Clarion Hotel Dublin, where you can book a suite for just 6,000 Points per night, which you could buy (if you have a 50% bonus) for  ~£33.60:

rather than spending ~£214 on the cheapest cash rate for the same night:

Even if you’ve only been targeted with a 30% bonus, it would work out at under £40, which is hardly bad!

There are lots of other ways to get fantastic value from Choice Privileges Points too, of course. I’ve written about some of them here and here, but there are plenty more.

Note that it can take 24 hours for the Points to show up in your account so don’t make a purchase if you need to make an immediate redemption.

Bottom line

If you want to be a savvy ‘travel hacker’ you can never have too many strings to your bow and a little stockpile of Choice Privileges Points can come in extremely handy on occasion.

If I was completely out of Choice Points I’d happily pick some up with even just the 30% bonus. If I had been offered a 50% bonus I’d be filling my boots even though I already have enough for a couple of nights!
