What happened
Best Western Rewards is paying a $31 gift card for each qualifying stay booked from August 31 through September 7, 2026, up to 4 cards or $124, for travel completed by December 31, 2026. Qualifying stays are points-eligible rates booked direct at hotels in the United States and Canada plus the Caribbean.
Members must register and have a valid email on the Rewards profile before the first stay. Each stay earns one card regardless of length. Cards are emailed about 2 weeks after checkout. Same-property stays with under 24 hours between visits count as one stay. Canadian residents get CAD; everyone else gets USD. OTA and tour-operator rates do not qualify, and neither do special discounted rates. The promotional cards expire March 1, 2027 with no extensions and cannot be applied to the stay that earned them.
The $31 pays the same on a one-night stay as on a longer one, so cheap short stays get the most out of the cap. Register and book planned stays by September 7, then spend the cards before they expire on March 1, 2027.
