(EXPIRED) Best Western Promo: Earn 2,000 Bonus Points On Award Stays (Feb 7-Sep 4)

Back in February, Best Western launched a promotion that offered 2,000 bonus points for every award stay that you booked. That promotion was due to end on May 8, but they’ve extended it for stays through September 4, 2022.

The Deal

• Earn 2,000 bonus points for every Pay With Points stay with Best Western in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean.
• Direct link to registration.

Key Terms

• Best Western Rewards (“BWR”) members (“Rewards Member(s)”) who (a) register for the promotion on bestwestern.com, (b) book a Pay With Points reservation and (c) complete an eligible stay* between February 7, 2022 and May 8 September 4, 2022 (“Promotion Period”) at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands will earn 2,000 BWR Bonus Points for completion of the eligible stay. There is no limit to the number of 2,000 BWR Bonus Points each Rewards Member can earn during the Promotion Period.
• To make a reservation using Pay With Points, Rewards Members must be logged into their BWR Account on bestwestern.com. A minimum of 5,000 BWR Points is required for a Pay With Points reservation. Members may book a Pay With Points stay for standard room types using any combination of Points and cash, in increments of 1,000 Points, starting at 5,000 Points. 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. Rewards Members earning preference must be set to Points to earn the 2,000 BWR Bonus Points for each eligible stay completed during the Promotion Period.
• 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 7 – 10 business days after the eligible stay for the promotion points to be posted.
• An “eligible stay” for the purpose of this promotion is defined as any stay of one or more consecutive nights at the same Best Western branded hotel where base points are awarded; with the exception of a stay booked through an online travel agency, a stay booked through a tour operator, and a stay booked at a special discounted rate (see BWR program rules for further information on eligibility criteria at bestwesternrewards.com. 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 May 8 September 4, 2022 to be counted towards the promotion.

Quick Thoughts

It’s always nice when hotel chains offer bonus points on award stays. It sadly doesn’t stack with their current award sale though as that award sale ends on February 6 – the day before this bonus points promotion begins.

A great aspect of this promotion is that you don’t have to have enough points for a full award night in order to earn the 2,000 bonus points. That’s because Best Western recently rolled out a new feature of their Rewards program called Pay With Points. That allows you to redeem points in 1,000 point increments, with a minimum redemption of 5,000 points per stay and every 1,000 points deducting $5 from your stay. While that’s not always going to be a great redemption depending on the award pricing versus the room rate, it’s good to have additional options like that, especially if you’d otherwise have orphaned points.
