Exchange Choice Points to Qantas and an Incredible Rate

[kangarooflyer88]

Unsure how many of you collect/buy points with Choice Hotels, but currently they are running a promotion where you will earn double the points on transfers. In other words 2,000 Choice points can be converted to 1600 Qantas Points (compared to the usual 800 Qantas Points). This promotion is also valid for transfers to Virgin Australia (i.e. 2,000 Choice points can be converted to 1600 Virgin Australia Points). Here are the T&Cs of the promotion:

The Double Airline Points transfer offer is available from 14 October to 20 October 2024. During this offer, when you redeem Choice Privileges points for these Frequent Flyer programs, you will receive twice as many Frequent Flyer Points as normal; for 2,000 Choice Privilege points, for example, you’ll receive either 1,600 Qantas Points or 1,600 Velocity Frequent Flyer Points. The minimum number of Choice Privileges points that can be redeemed under this offer is 2,000, and Choice Privilege Points must be redeemed in 1,000-point increments.

Only points earned/purchased prior to 14 October 2024 will be able to be redeemed for Double Frequent Flyer Points

MODs: Apologies if this was the wrong venue to post it to but given this is a limited time promotion and can represent particularly good accumulation of Qantas Points, I thought I'd post it here.

Just thought I'd provide an update here. Yesterday morning I transferred over 130,000 Choice points to Qantas and the points have landed this morning:


So pretty quick transfer time from Choice Hotels. Additionally, these points counted towards earning Points Club Plus status, as others indicated it should.
