One of the cool things you can do with Choice Privileges points is to use them at select Preferred Hotels & Resorts. Not long ago, the top point price for these properties was 55,000 points per night. Then, this past June, they bumped the top end up to 87,000 points per night. Now, apparently enough time has lapsed to bump things up again. The new top rate is 118,000 points per night. Yeesh.
At first I thought that maybe the new top price was for new, more luxurious hotels. While that might be the case in some situations, it isn’t true across the board. Take for example the Boston Harbor Hotel. Not long ago, it cost 55,000 points per night. It then jumped to 85,000 points per night in June, and now prices at 115,000 points per night. Eek.
Fortunately, it’s not all bad news. I spot checked a few of the best value properties that I knew of and they haven’t all been hurt by this devaluation. Here are a few good news options:
- The Thief, in Oslo, is still 20K per night.
- The One Palácio da Anunciada, in Lisbon, was 27K and is now 28K per night.
- Hotel Californian, in Santa Barbara, is still 55K per night.
Hat tip to T J for letting us know about the latest devaluation.
