Choice Privileges Experiences

Rotating experiences across a handful of categories:

• Motorsports / NASCAR - VIP raceday packages (think Trackhouse Racing tie-ins, pit and garage tours, pre-race food and beverage, driver and pit-crew meet-and-greets) at tracks like Daytona, Atlanta, and Winston-Salem.
• College sports - VIP game-day access, often the fastest to sell out.
• Concerts / music - tiered packages (for example Kane Brown shows in Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels).
• Pro sports and entertainment - NHL games, Topgolf outings, and similar.

Inventory is finite per event and rotates, so the exact lineup changes throughout the year.

This is an auction, not a fixed-price redemption. You browse live experiences at experiencesbychoice.com, then place a points bid (or hit "Watch" to follow it). Bids start around 10,000 points for many experiences, though marquee NASCAR Cup packages have opened higher (around 40,000 points), and winning bids run well above the floor since you are competing against other members.

You can raise your bid as many times as you like before the auction closes, and you get an email each time. When the auction ends you are notified whether you won. The key mechanic on points: if you win, your points are spent and not refunded; if you lose, your bid points are returned to your account. So your points are only ever at risk on a winning bid - but a winning bid is binding.

Open to any Choice Privileges member, and membership is free to join - no specific elite tier or co-brand card required to bid. You can view experiences and current bids without logging in, but you must sign in to your Choice Privileges account to place a bid. There is no published status gate, so a brand-new member with enough points can compete head-to-head with a Diamond. Holding the Choice Privileges Mastercard simply helps you earn points faster; it is not a requirement for access.

Short on points? Several flexible-points programs transfer to Choice Privileges: Wells Fargo Rewards (1 to 2), Citi ThankYou (1 to 1.5), Capital One miles (1 to 1), and American Express Membership Rewards (1 to 1), so cardholders can top up their Choice Privileges balance before bidding or buying. Transfers are final, so only move points you would be happy holding as Choice Privileges regardless of whether you win.

Recent and representative drops include VIP NASCAR raceday packages (Trackhouse Racing experiences, with tracks such as Daytona, Atlanta, and Winston-Salem on the 2026 calendar), tiered Kane Brown concert packages (Silver / Gold / Platinum), NHL game experiences, and Topgolf outings - alongside college-sports VIP access that tends to sell out fast. The specific lineup rotates, so treat these as the categories to expect rather than a fixed menu.

Find live inventory at experiencesbychoice.com (also linked from the Choice Privileges "redeem points" pages). Refund rule is the headline catch: points on a winning bid are gone and the experience itself is not refundable, while points on a losing bid are returned to you. Experiences are US-centric and event-driven, with limited slots per event - college-sports and high-demand drops can close within a day. You can keep raising your bid until the auction ends, so set a ceiling before you start. Travel, lodging, and incidentals are generally on you unless an experience states otherwise.

Worth knowing because it converts an everyday roadside-hotel currency into genuine money-can't-easily-buy access - pit lanes, end zones, and concert pits - with no status or card gate. Just go in with a firm bid ceiling, since a winning bid is binding and those points don't come back.
