Choice Privileges offers Up to 50% off Preferred Hotel Group reward nights

One of the best benefits available through Choice Privileges is the redemption option for hotel nights at hundreds of upper-upscale and luxury independent hotels around the world affiliated with Preferred Hotel Group.

From November 3, 2010 through January 19, 2011 Choice Privileges members get discount reward nights. There are four tiers for Preferred Hotel Group through Choice Privileges.

The major drawback of Choice Privileges Reward nights is the restriction to 30 days advance for non-elite members. Bookings for international properties place all members on level playing field at 60 days advance booking, except for Choice Privileges Diamond members who always get 90 days advance booking privileges.
