Wells Fargo is back with an increased welcome bonus for the Choice Privileges card! You can now snag 60,000 Choice points after spending $1,000 in the first 3 months. This is a solid offer, especially since the standard bonus is only 40,000 points. While it's not quite as high as the previous peak of 70,000 points, it's still a fantastic opportunity to boost your Choice points balance.

Why should you care? Choice Hotels includes brands like Comfort Inn, Quality Inn, and Radisson, giving you tons of options for affordable stays. Free nights start at just 6,000 points, meaning this bonus could get you several free nights. The card also comes with automatic Gold Elite status, and you'll earn points on everyday purchases. Just be aware that the number of points required for a free night varies, so it’s wise to have an idea of where you might want to redeem them before applying.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
