Everyone has a loyalty program these days. For someone looking for a good hotel brand, the point is to find a hotel you like and stick with it. But what if you've accrued points with one brand and either aren't satisfied any longer or interested in trying another? That was the exact motivation behind Best Western Rewards' Status Match…No Catch program. If you are an ELITE status member of any hotel loyalty program, Best Western Rewards will match your status completely free of charge. These are the kind of perks elite-status rewards members enjoy with Best Western. How does one get to be an elite member? I'm happy you asked… Whether it's Chicago, Paris, or Mexico City, the Best Western franchise stretches across the entire globe, so you'll be hard-pressed to find many locations where Best Western is not represented. One of the most appealing parts of Best Western Rewards is that the points never expire. You may find yourself in Munich, Germany in 20 years and you will still be able to use points accrued from your trip to Best Western River North decades prior. The beginning status, or Blue status, starts at 10 points earned per dollar spent. Free night redemption point rates vary depending on the location and demand, but they begin at 8,000 points and range upward. Status levels include Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond Select with bonus points for each level ranging from 10% up to 50%. Another unique perk is that status levels beginning with Gold include the opportunity for free room upgrades. Best Western Rewards has done a good job of making the rate of return for each night spent at a Best Western a profitable one. If you would prefer to spend your points on gift cards, there's a wide variety to choose from, as well. With a loyalty program that is free to sign up for and with points that never expire, you can see how easy it would be to nab elite status in no time.
