Quick Thoughts
The terms of both promotions state that each “Promotion is not valid with any other offer, promotion, or discount.” While that’s true in a sense, I suspect that you can double dip if you’re able to register for both offers.
I say “true in a sense” because I imagine that you’ll be able to earn both 2,500 bonus points per stay and double base points on those stays, provided your stays take place during overlapping promotion dates. What you should expect (unless Best Western has set up the promos incorrectly on the backend) is that the 2,500 bonus points won’t get doubled; only the base points you’ll earn will be.
All that said, I believe that Best Western has occasionally run concurrent promotions in the past where they only let you register for one promo or the other. I’d therefore recommend registering for the best offer for your individual circumstances first, then register for the other afterwards just in case.
If you can only register for one of these promos, the best offer for you will depend on your expenditure and length of stay. For one night stays, earning 2,500 bonus points will likely be best unless you’re paying a high room rate. For stays costing $250 or more, it’d be best to register for the double points promotion first, then the 2,500 bonus points offer. That’s because Best Western awards 10 base points per dollar spent, so spending $250 on a stay would net you 2,500 bonus points from the double points offer.
Seeing as these will be paid stays, remember to click through from a shopping portal first. You can find the current rates here and here, but also check Capital One Shopping as they sometimes give high targeted cashback rates for Best Western stays. For example, just this morning I got an email offering 28% cashback.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Best Western has one or more additional promos floating around out there, so if you receive an email with a different type of offer, please share the registration link in the comments below.
