Best Western Rewards Promotion: $50 Gift Card After Two Nights

Best Western Rewards isn’t the most generous loyalty program out there, and for that matter, Best Western doesn’t have that many aspirational properties. However, the program does pretty consistently offer promotions. Best Western has just launched its latest promotion, so let’s go over the details.

Best Western Rewards spring 2025 promo

Best Western Rewards’ first promotion of 2025 is now live, valid for stays between February 3 and May 11, 2025, at any Best Western branded property in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean. With this promotion, you can earn a $50 Best Western gift card after you stay two nights, whether they’re separate or consecutive. You can qualify for this bonus up to two times, for a total of up to $100 in Best Western gift cards.

There are some more things to be aware of:

• Registration is required prior to your first eligible stay (though it’s fine if you booked before registering)
• This promotion is open to Best Western Rewards members regardless of where they live, though only stays in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean, qualify
• Eligible stays include those booked directly with Best Western at non-special discounted rates
• The Best Western gift cards will be emailed to eligible members within roughly two weeks of an eligible stay
• The two nights can be consecutive or separate, so one stay of two nights or two stays of one night would qualify
• The Best Western gift cards need to be redeemed by August 3, 2025

How rewarding is this Best Western promotion?

Figuring out the value proposition of this promotion is pretty easy. If you stay a total of four nights, you’ll receive $100 in Best Western gift cards, giving you a value of $25 per night. Admittedly that’s not cash, but rather Best Western credit that has to redeemed within a limited window.

I’d say that’s a pretty solid promotion, though the catch is that you can only earn this reward twice, and the window to redeem is limited.

Best Western Rewards ordinarily awards 10x points per dollar spent. Personally I value Best Western points at somewhere around 0.5 cents each, meaning you typically earn a 5% return on your Best Western spending. This doesn’t include the rewards you’d earn for credit card spending, plus any bonus rewards you’d earn if you have elite status with Best Western Rewards (and the program has a generous status match offer).

On the redemption side, Best Western generally requires anywhere from 8,000 to 36,000 points per night for a free night redemption, depending on the property.

Bottom line

Best Western has launched its first major promotion of 2025. Members can earn a $50 Best Western gift card after staying two nights, and can qualify for this promotion up to two times. In other words, after staying four qualifying nights, you’d earn a total of $100 in Best Western gift cards, which you need to redeem by August 3, 2025. That’s potentially pretty good, especially when you consider how inexpensive many Best Western properties are, though admittedly the redemption window is limited.
