Free night rewards

The best value you can obtain from Best Western Points will come from redeeming them for free nights at Best Western brand hotels. This should easily give you an average value of around 0.5 cents each without too much effort.

Since Best Western does not have an award chart, you will not know how much your points are worth until you start booking your stays. If you want to get the best value out of your points, you'll need to compare the costs in cash and cost in points for each place you're willing to stay at.

You can use our Use Points or Pay Cash Calculator to calculate the value of Best Western points for any stay.

Charitable donations

Best Western Points can be donated to several charities through the Best Western Redemption Mall. Each 500-point block of Best Western Points redeemed will be worth a $2 donate to the selected charity which will give your points a value of 0.4 cents each.

This is around the average value you'll get for most Best Western Redemptions outside of using them for free nights.

Gift cards

The Mastercard is basically a prepaid card that can be used wherever Mastercard is accepted.

Transferring points to airline partners

Best Western Points can be transferred to 9 airline partners, mostly at a 5:1 ratio. This means that every 5,000 Best Western Points you transfer will earn you 1,000 airline miles.

This isn't the best use of Best Western Points as you'll get only about 0.2 to 0.4 cents in value per point, but it can be useful if you need to top off one of your frequent flyer accounts and don't mind sparing a few points.
