Members of Choice Privileges can earn a $50 gift card after completing two stays at participating hotels. While the promotion advertises a $50 reward, the actual bonus comes in the form of 8,000 Choice Privileges points. Once earned, these points can be redeemed for a $50 gift card. At least that is one option for what you might want to do with those 8,000 points.
While there are some regional variations to this promotion, I will focus on members resident in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia and New Zealand, the gift cards on offer are for either Coles or Uber/Uber Eats.

Discounted Gift Cards
Members of the Choice Privileges program can redeem their points for a variety of popular gift cards. Under normal conditions in Australia, it takes 8,000 points to claim a $25 gift card, or 16,000 points for a $50 card.
During the current promotion, however, Uber, Uber Eats, and Coles gift cards are being offered at a reduced redemption rate. After completing two qualifying stays, members can redeem 8,000 points for a $50 gift card, effectively doubling the usual value. This promotional rate is valid until 6 August 2026, giving members extra time to take advantage of the offer.
Final Thoughts
An interesting promotion, and one that might be a benefit to those who stay at Choice Hotels. In previous versions of the promotion, they had presented the 8,000 points as sufficient for a free night award. That seems unlikely in Australia. Offering a $50 gift card, at a promotional rate, seems a better deal.
