Hi there! I understand you're having trouble connecting to the Choice Privileges server from your home computer with the Choice Hotels app. Let's see if we can get this sorted out together.

First, can you tell me if you're using the Choice Hotels desktop app or accessing via a web browser on your Windows 6.1 system? Also, do you get any specific error messages, or does it simply fail to connect?

Meanwhile, here are some steps to try that often resolve connection issues:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Make sure your home internet is working properly. Try opening other websites to confirm.

2. Restart Your Device: Sometimes a simple restart can clear temporary glitches.

3. Update App or Browser: If using the app, ensure it's the latest version. If using a browser, try clearing the cache or using a different browser.

4. Firewall/Antivirus Settings: Sometimes security software blocks the connection. You can try temporarily disabling firewall or antivirus programs to see if this helps.

5. Check for Outages: Occasionally, Choice Hotels servers might be down for maintenance or due to outages. If possible, check sites like Downdetector or social media for any reports.

6. Try Using the Website: Since Points Plus Cash reservations and Choice Privileges access are often better supported on choicehotels.com via desktop browser or mobile app, logging in through the website directly might work.

Once you try these, let me know what happens, or if you see any error codes/messages, share them with me. We'll take it from there!
