Some brands (MainStay Suites, Suburban Extended Stay Hotel, Econo Lodge, Rodeway Inn) give only 5 points for every 1 USD-Dollar spent.

You can exchange 6,000 points or a free night. Alternatively, you can combine Cash & Points and get a discount of $7.50 per 1,000 points. Choice Privileges has several status levels.
