Transfer Choice Privileges Points to Avios at 5:1 Ratio
Choice Hotels rewards program, Choice Privileges®, announced today the launch of a new agreement with IAG Loyalty, owners of the global loyalty currency Avios, offering its over 65 million members even more opportunities to redeem points for travel.
Choice Privileges members will be able to access a wide range of redemption benefits, including the ability to convert their points into the global loyalty currency Avios and redeem for reward flights and upgrades across IAG airlines. That list of airlines includes British Airways, Iberia, Vueling, and Aer Lingus.
Choice Privileges members can now redeem their points into Avios at a ratio of 5,000 points to 1,000 Avios. That’s obviously not a great transfer ratio, but I guess it is always a good thing to have more options.
Avios can also be used for hotels, experiences, car rentals, charity donations, the British Airways Highlife shop, The Wine Flyer and BA Executive Club members can also use Avios for British Airways Holidays.
British Airways flies 336 routes to 216 worldwide, Iberia operates 115 routes to 115 destinations and Aer Lingus flies 101 routes in 80 destinations.
IAG Loyalty is the latest addition to Choice Privileges’ growing roster of airline partners, which include Air France-KLM, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Qantas, Spirit Airlines, Air Canada, Aeromexico, Alaska Airlines, Virgin Australia, and Turkish Airlines.
Choice Privileges members can earn points by staying at over 7,000 Choice-branded hotels across a diverse portfolio of 22 brands in 46 countries and territories. These include participating Cambria Hotels®, Clarion®, Clarion Pointe®, Comfort®, Econo Lodge®, Everhome Suites®, MainStay Suites®, Quality®, Rodeway Inn®, Sleep Inn®, Suburban Studios®, and Ascend Hotel Collection® properties in Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia.
In the Americas, members can also accumulate points at Radisson Individuals®, Radisson Collection®, Radisson Blu®, Radisson, Radisson RED®, Park Plaza®, Park Inn by Radisson®, and Country Inn & Suites® by Radisson properties.
Members can also earn points through two co-brand credit cards, the Choice Privileges Select Mastercard and Choice Privileges Mastercard. Both offer cardholders more ways to accelerate the amount of Choice Privileges points they earn while staying at participating Choice Hotels and on everyday spending.
