Choice Privileges has brought back its usual promotion of 8,000 bonus points for every two stays through June 30, 2023.
They promote the offer as a $50 gift card for select retailers but deposit bonus points for member accounts that can be redeemed for hotel stays or merchandise rewards.

Note that Choice-affiliated hotels in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia are not part of Choice Privileges but Nordic Choice.
Choice Privileges members earn a minimum of 8,000 points for every two stays. The $50 gift cards are usually priced at 16,000 Choice Privileges but can be redeemed for 50% less through August 30.
Conclusion
This is the same offer that Choice Privileges has run for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they advertise it as bonus points and at other times as a gift card offer. There is no difference in the bonus points that you earn.
Terms and conditions of this promotion:
Registration required at https://www.choicehotels.com/choice-privileges/promo/gift-card before checking out from your first qualifying stay. The promotion is only available to members of the Choice Privileges® Rewards Program who register for this promotion, and then make two separate qualifying stays at participating hotels (WoodSpring Suites® hotels and Ascend Hotel Collection® all-inclusive resorts, among others, are not participating) with arrival between 03/27/2023 and 06/30/2023. A “stay” is any number of consecutive nights at one hotel regardless of check-ins or check-outs. A “qualifying stay” is a stay that is during this promotion at a participating hotel through a qualifying channel (see Qualifying Channel, below) that is eligible to earn Choice Privileges points. Most stays are eligible to earn Choice Privileges points EXCEPT: rooms booked at rates below $40 USD per night, certain hotel-initiated promotions, reward night stays, complimentary rooms, rooms paid for as part of a convention or meeting, rooms booked through a third party online retailer including online travel agencies, wholesale packages, group tours, and stays booked using the employee discount or the friends and family discount. Stays at Choice Hotels® properties in the following countries are excluded from this promotion: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.
Qualifying Channel: Members must book stays via ChoiceHotels.com, the Choice Hotels® mobile app, or 800.4CHOICE. Stays directly booked through Book by Google are also eligible, if the member adds their Choice Privileges number to the reservation prior to check-in. Corporate travelers may book through their online booking tool, GDS, or with a travel agent; however, reservations booked through Egencia’s Preferred Rate Program do not qualify for promotional bonus points. Choice Privileges member number must be provided upon check-in. To be eligible to earn bonus points, members must set their earning preference to Choice Privileges points in their online account. Any change made to earning preference will remain in effect after the promotion has ended unless the member changes it. Allow 72 hours from check-out for points to post. Request for bonus points made by members who did not register for the promotion will only be considered up to 60 days after the promotion ends; request thereafter will be automatically denied.
Registered members will be awarded a minimum of 5,000 to a maximum of 8,000 bonus points after the second qualifying stay. The number of bonus points awarded depends on the number of base points earned from the two separate qualifying stays, with points varying by hotel. The total of base points plus bonus points awarded, however, will be at least 8,000 points, which is the number of points required to redeem for a $50 gift card from participating retailers. A selection of gift cards is available at the discounted redemption rate of 8,000 points from 03/27/2023 through 06/30/2023. Members will have 60 days after the promotion ends to redeem their points for a $50 gift card at the reduced point level. Beginning 08/30/2023, the $50 gift cards will return to their standard redemption rate of 16,000 points. Terms and conditions apply to $50 gift card options. See card for details.
