Best Western is out with yet another promotion, this time giving away $50 Best Western gift cards for free when staying three nights by May 10, 2025. You can earn up to a total of $150 back, but be aware that the bonus cards are valid for only a few months.
This offer should stack nicely with another Best Western promotion that gives you 2,600 bonus points per night.
The Deal
- Stay three nights at Best Western properties in the US, Canada, or the Caribbean and get a free $50 Best Western gift card.
- Registration required
Key Terms
- Best Western Rewards® (“BWR®”) members (“Rewards Member(s)”) who (a) register for this promotion on bestwestern.com/stay3get50 or as otherwise permitted (e.g., at the front desk of any Best Western® branded hotel), (b) stay for three (3) qualified nights* between February 2, 2026 and May 10, 2026 (“Promotion Period”) at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands, and (c) have a valid email address listed in the Rewards Member’s account profile at the time of registration for the promotion, will earn one (1) promotional $50 USD/CAD** Best Western® Gift Card (“Gift Card”). There is a limit of three (3) $50 USD/CAD Gift Cards per Rewards Member during the promotion. Gift Cards expire on August 2, 2026.
- Promotion registration and BWR enrollment/membership are required prior to the first qualified night. Qualified stays completed prior to promotion registration and BWR enrollment/membership will not count towards satisfying the promotion requirements. BWR enrollment may be completed by visiting bestwesternrewards.com.
- Please allow approximately two (2) weeks from completion of the third qualified night to receive the Gift Card. The Gift Card will be sent electronically to the Rewards Member’s email address (regardless of whether the Rewards Member has opted out of Best Western communications).
- Gift Cards expire on August 2, 2026. The expiration date will be stated on the Gift Card.
- A “qualified night” for the purpose of this promotion is defined as a stay of at least one night at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean, at a rate eligible for earning Points, with the exception of a stay booked through an online travel agency, booked through a tour operator, or booked at a special discounted rate (see BWR program rules for further information on qualifying criteria).
- Qualified nights that take place during the Promotion Period must be completed on or before May 10, 2026 to count towards the promotion.
- Rewards Members will be issued a Gift Card in USD or CAD currencies only. USD for residents of the United States and the Caribbean Islands. CAD for residents of Canada. All Rewards Members outside of these countries will receive a USD Gift Card.
Quick Thoughts
This has the potential to be a rewarding promotion – especially considering its stackability with other offers – but it’s important to be aware of the limitations of the $50 cards.
Best Western markets them as gift cards, but that’s not entirely correct. Gift cards don’t expire, but these $50 Best Western cards are effectively bonus cards as they expire on August 2, 2026, giving you a fairly short time period in which to redeem them.
If you have an upcoming three-night stay shortly after this promotion starts, you’ll have about five months in which to redeem the gift cards, as it takes up to two weeks to receive them after your stay. However, if your stay isn’t until the end of the promotion period (May 10), you’ll likely only have a couple of months to use them by the time they’re sent to you, which is far more restrictive.
Still, if you can make use of the cards before they expire, earning $50 cards after only two nights is a generous return. It’ll also stack nicely with this promotion, giving 2,600 bonus points per night. In addition, you can click through from a shopping portal to earn rewards (see current rates here and here).
