Last year, Choice Privileges launched a series of NASCAR deals where you could redeem their hotel points for VIP experiences, starting at 115,000 points for two.
These VIP experiences are back for four different NASCAR Cup races, but this time the packages are auctions that start at only 40,000 Choice points. For a NASCAR fan, the experience could be well worth the redemption depending on the price, especially since you can transfer points from Citi or Wells Fargo to Choice on a 1:2 basis.
The Deal
- Bid on VIP experience at the following NASCAR Cup races, starting at 40,000 Choice Privileges points:
- Nashville, TN
- Brooklyn, MI
- Pocono, PA
- Atlanta, GA
Key Terms
- These experiences are only available to members of the Choice Privileges® Rewards Program who have the required number of Choice Privileges Rewards points in their account. Once redeemed the member will receive a confirmation email from Choice Privileges, Trackhouse will contact the member with more information and any participation requirements. You (and any guests, if applicable) must be 18 or older to participate and you must provide a government-issued ID upon request.
- Winners may not transfer experience (or any aspect thereof) to other individuals, are not redeemable for cash, and may not be substituted for any other experience or Choice Privileges Reward, absent Choice’s prior written consent. The actual experience may differ from any promotional images. All federal, state, and other tax liabilities arising from winning an experience are the sole responsibility of the Winner.
Quick Thoughts
I’m into NASCAR, but this could be a fun opportunity for someone who is.
The VIP experiences at all four races provide the following:
- 2 VIP experience passes
- Tour of Trackhouse team transporter and pit road
- Meet and greet with pit crew and drivers
- Pre-race hospitality with food and drink
We’ve tried looking into what cash pricing would be for an experience like this at a couple of races, but have never been able to find something directly comparable. However, it does look like you’d most likely paying more than $500 per person for something similar, so redeeming 40-50,000 Choice points (or more) could be excellent value.
These experiences are set up as auctions and currently they all have one or no bids. I’ve seen Choice Experiences go for the starting bid, or close to it, multiple times. So, if you’re a NASCAR fan, this could be something worth “gearing up” for.

Wonder if these include tickets?
Yes, that’s what the VIP grandstand passes are.
Never knew there was a Nashville, GA! You learn something new every day — but I think the NASCAR experience is in Tennessee.
The people in Nashville, GA (aka, “The City of Dogwoods”) always get a little huffy when everyone thinks that it’s in Tennessee. That said, I think you’re likely right and the event is at the Nashville in TN. 😉
