Our Verdict
Shame that it only includes properties in United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands. Good deal if you’re planning to stay with Best Western anyway.
Hat tip to Frequent Flyer Bonuses
I got the free night cert about 1 week after stay and it’s valid for about 5 months. Are there any particularly nice known BW to use at?
There’s two in Napa. The one in Calistoga is very nice.
Not exactly a new promo.
I got my 2 nights in February and used the free night in March.
If you complete the promo there is an opportunity for triple points on stays after that😉
Completed back in February. To my disappointment, only valid USA (Canada?). Nothing in small print about that.
It does work for Canada, using free night at Tin Wis near Pacific Rim NP in BC
Wonder if this works if you already received a free night in 2024 from the current promotion?
second prize is three nights
Ba dum bum
There is a 10% rebate through Chase offers that might work for you.
And the CF/CFF have hotels as category…
I travel mainly to large cities and BW hotels are always in the worst areas and not even competitively priced. I assume they are nice when on a long road trip and need a hotel for the night.
Do you have to book through their website or can be booked using third party website?
They have to be “eligible night stays”, which means you have to earn BW points on what you spend for the stay and excludes “online travel agencies” (see T&Cs quoted in another Reply below). And thus it almost certainly requires booking through their website.
But through their website, you can try the promo code they offer constantly in emails, which is “emlrate” (yes, that’s a lower case “L” as the third letter in the promo code), by selecting Promotional as the kind of rate. I know from experience that this rate does earn BW points on what you spend for the stay.
Can you use free nights outside of USA?
I wonder if that kind of information might be in the post. Too bad there’s no way to find out. Guess we’ll never know.
The full T&Cs of the promo (viewable on their website when you’re logged in and go to Your Account and scroll down to Special Offers) say you will earn “a free night award redeemable at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada or the Caribbean Islands.” So a few places outside of the USA, but not far outside.
*An “eligible night stay” for the purpose of this promotion is defined as a night stay at any Best Western branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands, at a rate eligible for earning points, with the exception of a night booked through an online travel agency, a night booked through a tour operator, or a night booked at a special discounted rate (see BWR program rules for further information on eligibility criteria at bestwesternrewards.com). Eligible nights can be consecutive or separate and at the same Best Western branded hotel or separate hotels. Eligible nights which take place during the Promotion Period must be completed on or before Sunday, September 4, 2022 to be counted towards the promotion.
