Our corporate offices where we operate are located in Maryland. We are subject to the laws under which we operate.

 The number of points you earn for your Choice Privileges membership will still be on the room rate actually paid. You will earn 10 points per every whole dollar spent at the Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites, and Mainstay Suites hotels. You will earn 5 points per every whole dollar spent at the Suburban, Econo Lodge, and Rodeway Inn hotels.

Because we have to verify that the lower rate is available for the same dates and room type, changing the reservation will modify that information and we would no longer be able to guarantee the information is the same.

When we approve an Internet rate, we need sufficient time to inform our hotel owners of the adjusted rate.

The rates on the competing web sites change often. In order to help us find the lower rate that you have submitted from a competing web site, we require the claim be submitted within 24 hours of making the reservation.

In order to keep the process simple and efficient, the reservation must be made online.

An opaque web site is one that is not clear about the booking. These web sites will often not include the name of the hotel or the type of room you are reserving. This also includes a web site does not immediately confirm a reservation at the time of submission. These web sites are not eligible for the guarantee because we cannot confirm that the reservation will be for the same hotel, same room type, or that the reservation would be able to be processed through that web site.

The Best Internet Rate Guarantee matches the room rate, only. Most third party web sites state in their terms and conditions that the room rate is for dual occupancy, only. This means that the rate they are providing is for two people in the room; extra person charges would still apply at the hotel. If the competing web site you found states that the room rate includes the extra person charges, let us know.

If you have reserved the same size and number of beds and the amenities match, it is probably the same room type.

Currently all Choice Hotels participate in the Best Internet Rate Guarantee program. Your claim will not be denied the guarantee because of the hotel chain or its location.

Negotiated and membership rates do not qualify because those rates are not available to everyone.

A publicly available rate is any rate found on a web site that does not require a membership/account or have any other requirement (including but not limited to age, government employment, and military personnel) that makes it unavailable to any person visiting the web site.

A website that does not allow you to make the reservation on the Internet would not qualify for the Best Internet Rate Guarantee.  The website must allow you to reserve online in order to qualify.

Since prepaid cards must be treated as cash, orders are shipped only to the Billing Address. This policy exists to prevent fraud and to protect your order. For check orders, products are shipped to the address displayed on the check. Gift cards are not currently shipped internationally, to APO/FPO addresses, or to Puerto Rico. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii require UPS 2-day air or overnight shipment.

A gift card cannot be used to book a room reservation or to buy additional gift cards. However, it can be used as a form of payment at the hotel.

The gift card is not a credit card. It is pre-loaded with funds in US dollars and can be used repeatedly until the balance is zero. You should treat the gift card as you would cash.

Choice Hotels Gift Cards are not returnable and cannot be redeemed for cash (except where required by law).

If a guest uses a gift card to pay for something of lesser value than is stored on the card, the amount of the purchase will be subtracted and the remaining balance will stay on the card for future use. When you go to use the card again, you may pay with a combination of the balance on the card and another form of payment.

Cards distributed for promotions may contain an expiration date, if allowed by law. If no date is shown on the card, the card will not expire. Choice Hotels Gift Cards do not contain fees.

Yes, you must physically present the gift card to the front desk staff upon check-in and check-out.

We use the information that we collect about you to quickly process and ship orders, provide the best possible customer service support, and enhance your on-line purchasing experience. Neither Choice Hotels nor the gift card Administrator, SVM, will sell, trade or rent your personal information to others.

Your credit card is not charged for your stay prior to your arrival unless the hotel has a prepayment or deposit requirement. Prepayment and deposit requirements are displayed for hotels during the CONFIRMATION process. A warning will display if the hotel requires a deposit or prepayment.

If you do not want to give your credit card over the internet, please call our Reservations Center.

If you do not understand a hotel's cancellation policy or need further clarification, please e-mail us or contact our Reservations Center.

It depends. If there is only one guest in a room, most hotels require you to be a minimum of 19 years of age. However, some Choice hotels require you to be age 21 or older (this information can be found in the "Hotel Details" section on the hotels home page within choicehotels.com). When a reservation is for two or more guests, at least one occupant must be 21 years of age or older if any other occupant staying in that room is age 18 or under.  If there is any question about an age restriction it is suggested you call the hotel directly.
