Eligible stays that take place during the Promotion Period must be completed on or before May 7, 2023, to be counted towards the promotion.

Quick Thoughts

Like many of Best Western’s promotions, I doubt that this will get anyone to change their plans. Our most recent Reasonable Redemption Values pegs Best Western Rewards points at .54 cents each, meaning that the bonus return on each two-night stay is ~$45…a nice bonus if you’re already going to be at a BW property within the next couple of months.

Best Western doesn’t have an award chart, but prices start at 5,000 pts/night, so theoretically you could get up to three nights by maxing this out to 16,000 points. That said, I doubt if most folks reading would want to spend three nights in any of BW’s cheapest properties unless you’re filming a murder mystery.

Since you’ll need to book a paid stay in order to take advantage of this offer, click through from a shopping portal before making any reservations; you can find the current rates here and here.
