I rarely redeem points for select privileges because I find that I can get better value when redeeming overseas. While I usually cash out the choice points in major Japanese cities like Tokyo and Osaka, I also gained good value in Europe.
When looking for the best hotels to book with a choice point, you need to remember that certain European choice properties won’t allow you to earn points on your stay, so be sure to look for “Private Points You Don’t Win At This Hotel” on this property page.
Below, we summarize some of our favorite hotels in Europe for booking with a point of choice.
