While it may appear Europeans are getting a lesser deal than Americans, there also appears to be a difference in the way the points are added to the account with these two promotions.
European version of Choice Privileges promotion states 5,000 bonus points after two stays.
(Points are earned in dollars even for European members.)
Two stays for $200 total earns 2,000 base points + 5,000 bonus points for 7,000 points.
Europe Promotion: $100 per stay x 2 stays = $200 (Points are earned in dollar equivalents even for European members according to the website.)
- 2,000 base points
- 5,000 bonus points (promotion for two stays)
- 7,000 points total points for two stays as Europe member
The Americas version for 8,000 points is actually the difference between base points earned from two actual stays and 8,000 points.
U.S.A. Promotion: $100 per stay x 2 stays = $200
- 2,000 base points
- 6,000 bonus points [8,000 points – base points earned] = promotion bonus points.
- 8,000 total points for two stays as U.S. member
But watch what happens if you have two stays of 3 nights at US$90 or equivalent per night
Europe Promotion: $130 per night x 3 nights x 2 stays = $780
- 7,800 base points
- 5,000 bonus points (promotion for two stays)
- 12,800 points total points for two stays as Europe member
USA Promotion: $130 per night x 3 nights x 2 stays = $780
- 7,800 base points
- 200 bonus points [8,000 points – base points earned] = promotion bonus points.
- 8,000 points total points for two stays as U.S. member
