Conclusion

The problem I have with I Prefer is that the number of points that you earn are essentially just 2% rebate of your stay. Why even bother at this ridiculously low level to have a program at all? You need to spend $5,000 to get $100 voucher. I would assume that most member points just expire unused.

This 50,000 points offer can make sense for those that have been planning to stay at one of their hotels and could earn this one time bonus easily. Won’t sway my stay preferences, however.

Here are the terms and conditions of this promotion:
