Question: how many points do you need to stay free at la quinta?
Answer: Free Nights: The most obvious answer would be to redeem your La Quinta Returns points for free La Quinta nights. Free nights start at just 6,000 points (though nothing really excites me in that category). Other free night tiers are as follows: 8,000 points, 11,000 points, 15,000 points, 18,000 points and 24,000 points.
