Overview
The Best Western Rewards program is geared toward budget-minded business and family travelers. Best Western Rewards members can earn and redeem points at 4,500 Best Western hotels in nearly 100 countries, including the United States and Canada. Members can also earn points by using Best Western partner services (which range from car rentals to flower delivery) and by making everyday purchases using a Best Western Rewards Mastercard or by converting Diners Club Rewards to Best Western Rewards points. These points can be put toward future stays at Best Western hotels. Members can also redeem points for members-only experiences (such as a walking tour of Quebec City and an aerial tour of the Grand Canyon) through the Experiences by Best Western Rewards program. And because Best Western partners with airlines like Southwest Airlines, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines, members can redeem points for miles.

The Fine Print
- If you join the program after an eligible stay, you can retroactively request points as long as your enrollment occurred within 30 days of your stay.
- The number of points needed to get a free night varies by property, time of year and location.
- You can combine your points with those earned by other members to redeem rewards faster, but both members must share the same place of residence.
- Points do not cover additional fees.
- When you submit proof of elite status in another hotel loyalty program, Best Western will match your elite status for free.
