 === "Cost" of booking Preferred hotels ===
-There are four tiers of Preferred hotels that participate in the Choice program. Prices aren’t cheap, but they are often cheaper than booking these hotels at the cash rates. Before booking with Choice points, make sure to check to see what other discount rates are available, and what kind of extra perks these hotels may be offering as part of luxury travel programs. {{Link|Luxury Hotels}}
