Does the fee earn out? · how we got this

The $95 fee minus $0 in printed credits leaves $95/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly $3,167 of gas spending at 5x (valuing Choice Privileges at the same mid-range value the optimizer uses). Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for

Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. two things on this card rule out a kind of spender:

  • Anyone who doesn't spend at Choice Hotels. Its largest printed rate, 10x on hotels, pays only at Choice Hotels. Anywhere else it earns its base 1x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
  • Spending outside its bonus categories. Everything else earns 1x, worth about 0.6¢ per dollar at our value for Choice Privileges — less than the 1¢ a plain cash-back card pays on the same dollar. This card only wins where its bonus categories do.
