Silver Spring, Md., // PRNewswire-FirstCall // -- Travel just got more fun and affordable for guests who stay with Choice Hotels this summer. Choice Hotels International, Inc.

"This offer is yet another way for our guests to enjoy great value when they stay at our hotels," said Chris Malone, chief marketing officer for Choice Hotels. "When combined with our relaxing rooms, free breakfast and free high speed internet access at most hotels, an extra $50 in spending money can buy a lot of other things that make summer travel even more enjoyable."

This summer, after every third qualifying stay at any Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites, or Ascend Collection hotel, guests will automatically receive enough Choice Privileges points to redeem for a prepaid $50 cash card.
