- −Value is locked inside a budget heavy hotel program
- −Platinum Elite perks at Choice are thin
The Compound Verdict
On pure math this is one of the best keeper hotel cards in the market: 30k points every anniversary against a $95 fee is an automatic win, and 5x on gas and groceries piles on. The catch is the same as always with Choice, you have to actually want to sleep where the points spend. For road warriors and snowbirds it is a quiet powerhouse.
