Book now: Earn up to 30,000 bonus Best Western Rewards points on North American stays
A new promotion allows Best Western Rewards members to earn 3,000 bonus points per stay for new bookings — but you'll have to be quick.
After registering for the promotion, members can earn 3,000 bonus Best Western Rewards points "per night" for new stays booked by March 5 and completed by May 31 — up to 30,000 bonus points for 10 nights.
The promotion applies to properties located in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. TPG values Best Western Rewards points at 0.6 cents each in our most recent valuations, meaning members could earn up to $180 worth of points under this new promotion.
Unfortunately, existing bookings already made within the March-to-May stay window do not count, and members must register for the promotion before they book eligible stays to earn the bonus points. Rates booked through third parties, such as travel agents, are also not eligible for the promotion.

However, before you book, it is worth noting that the wording of the offer and its interchangeable use of the words "stay" and "night" are a little confusing.
The initial wording of the promotion suggests the bonus points are earned "per night," which, in theory, would mean a three-night stay at the same property would yield 9,000 points. Confusingly, this contrasts with terms and conditions stating that "multiple check-ins/checkouts at the same property with less than 24 hours between checkout and check-in will only count as one qualified night." This would, therefore, suggest the bonus points will only be awarded once per stay, not per night.
TPG has reached out to Best Western for clarification here.
The bonus points will be awarded approximately two weeks after the member has completed each qualifying stay.
Bottom line
If you are considering booking a new stay within Best Western's North America portfolio (which includes brands like BW Premier Collection, Glo, Vib and WorldHotels) you can earn 3,000 bonus points per stay through May 31, 2025, by registering for Best Western Rewards' new promotion.
Unfortunately, while the initial wording of the offer states the bonus points will be awarded per night, the terms and conditions suggest this will be per stay, though the lack of a minimum night stay requirement is generous in either case. If you have some one- or two-night stays to book, this offer will significantly boost your Best Western Rewards points balance.
Don't delay — book by March 5 to take advantage of this promotion.
