(EXPIRED) Best Western: Earn 1k Points Per Night Or 3k Points Per Stay (Book By Feb 4 For Stays Through May 2)

Best Western has launched a couple of new promotions. It’s not possible to enroll in both, but it might be possible to pick which promotion you can enroll in so that you can maximize the points earned on upcoming stays.

The Deals

• Note that you can only enroll in one of these promotions:
  • Earn 1,000 bonus points per night
    • Direct link to registration.
  • Earn 3,000 bonus points per stay
    • Direct link to registration.

Key Terms

• Best Western Rewards® (“BWR®”) members (“Member(s)”) who (a) were pre-selected by Best Western Hotels & Resorts to receive this offer via email; (b) register for the Promotion by Thursday, February 4, 2021, 11:59 pm MST; (c) have a valid email address listed in the Member’s account profile at the time of registration for the Promotion; (d) book travel between Monday, February 1, 2021 and Thursday, February 4, 2021 on bestwestern.com; (e) complete an eligible stay* by Sunday, May 2, 2021 (“Promotional Period”) at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands, will earn 3,000 BWR Bonus Points for each eligible stay.
• There is no limit to the number of BWR 3,000 Bonus Point awards each Member can earn during the Promotional Period. Members can earn 3,000 bonus points for each eligible stay. Promotion registration and BWR enrollment/membership required prior to the first eligible stay. Eligible 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.
• Promotion is not valid with any other offer, promotion, or discount. No extensions, substitutions, or replacements available. Promotion is non-transferable. Promotion is subject to cancellation or change without notice. All BWR program rules apply. Visit bestwesternrewards.com for complete program terms and conditions. Please allow 14 days after the eligible stay for the Promotion points to be posted.
• An “eligible stay” for the purpose of this Promotion is defined as a stay of one or more consecutive nights at the same Best Western branded hotel, at a rate eligible for earning points or airline/partner rewards, with the exception of a stay booked through an online travel agency, a stay booked through a tour operator, or a stay booked at a special discounted rate (see BWR program rules for further information on eligibility criteria). Multiple check-in/check-out at the same property with less than 24 hours between check-out and check-in will only count as one eligible stay. Eligible stays which take place during the Promotion Period must be completed on or before Sunday, May 2, 2021 to be counted towards the Promotion.

Quick Thoughts

Best Western sometimes runs concurrent promotions, so when I saw Doctor of Credit posting about a promotion offering 1,000 bonus points per night, I figured it might stack with the promotion offering 3,000 bonus points per stay that I received an email about.

It turns out that it’s not possible to do that. After enrolling in the 3,000 point offer, I tried enrolling in the 1,000 point offer but got an error message saying “It looks like you are already registered for this offer.”.

It might be possible to pick and choose which offer you can register for, but perhaps not because the terms of the offers state that you need to have been pre-selected by email. Before trying to register for an offer though, it’s worth considering which would be the most rewarding. The best one for you will depend on how many stays you’ll be making as well as how many nights you’ll be staying. For stays of only one or two nights at a time, the 3,000 points per stay offer will be more lucrative. For longer stays, the promotion giving 1,000 bonus points per night will be better.

As always with Best Western promos, you don’t have long to take advantage of this offer as you have to make your reservations by February 4.
