Best Western Rewards: Top 2 Hotel Rewards Program

Results from annual report name Best Western Hotels & Resorts’ loyalty program number two for all travelers’ spending levels.


Phoenix, AZ (December 19, 2018) –Best Western Hotels & Resorts today announced that its award-winning loyalty program, Best Western Rewards (BWR®), has earned the No. 2 spot in a recent study by WalletHub, which each year, seeks to identify the best rewards programs in the hotel industry. BWR moved up in the annual rankings from 2017, in part due to its ongoing evolution and approach to consistent innovation. The 2018 study also highlighted BWR as the No. 1 best choice for travelers seeking a program with points that do not expire.

 

“Best Western continues to solidify its place as a top choice for today’s travelers and we feel a large part of our success has been the innovative mindset we’ve applied to the loyalty space, introducing refreshed services and offerings to our BWR members,” said Dorothy Dowling, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “We’re pleased to be recognized again this year by WalletHub and most importantly, to continue offering travelers a rich rewards program with points that never expire – along with other unprecedented perks.”

 

Top-Ranked, Rich Rewards
Best Western is the only major hotel chain to offer a loyalty program whose rewards points do not expire due to account inactivity and BWR members have access to some of the richest promotions in the industry. Reward redemption is available at one of the lowest point levels and free nights earned can be redeemed at any Best Western-branded hotel worldwide, with no blackout dates. Additionally, members are able to redeem points for gift cards from some of the most popular shopping, entertainment, gas, and airline partners. Conveniently, a new digital membership card provides BWR members with easy access to their membership number, point balance, current tier level and exclusive deals and offers. These new benefits let travelers maximize their stays across all Best Western brands.

 

Instant Enrollment, Instant Rewards
Members are now given instant rewards and gratification on every stay. Additionally, the Status Match…No Catch® program allows members to instantly have their status matched with other hotel loyalty programs upon enrollment.

 

Elite Members, Elite Rewards
In addition to enjoying the perks and benefits of BWR, elite members receive elite rewards. Upon arrival, elite members are given a choice of a “Thank You” gift or bonus points. Finally, Best Western-branded hotels provide guaranteed free nights for Diamond and Diamond select members at properties with availability.

 

The WalletHub study compared loyalty rewards programs operated by the 12 largest hotel chains in the U.S., based on the number of properties, using publicly available information. The ten most popular hotel rewards programs were evaluated using 21 key metrics, ranging from geographic coverage rank, point values to booking blackout dates, earning limitations, additional features and more.
