Best Western Rewards is the hotel loyalty program associated with BWH Hotels. The program terms state that it is administered by Best Western International, Inc. for Best Western branded hotels and participating WorldHotels branded hotels, among others. At a high level, members earn rewards on qualifying nights booked through eligible channels, with some rates and third-party bookings excluded; members may also choose airline miles instead of points with approved airline partners. The public tier ladder is Blue, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Diamond Select. Officially described benefits include points that do not expire, no blackout dates for free-night redemptions, an exclusive reservation line, member rates, Pay with Points, free-night redemptions counting toward elite status, and for higher tiers, bonus points, complimentary water or arrival points, plus early check-in and late check-out where available.
