Warm up this winter for just 10K Best Western Rewards points at The Dana on Mission Bay in San Diego (Image: Best Western)
Nearly every hotel chain has pushed out a fall promotion recently. One of the most unique and valuable this year is Best Western’s two-pronged offer.
Prong #1: Best Western Rewards members earn double points on all stays between now and November 30. You earn 20 points per dollar spent (up from the standard 10), so you’ll see your points balance skyrocket after just a few stays. Plus there is no limit to the number of eligible stays or points that can be earned during this timeframe.
Prong #2: Best Western has reduced the number of points needed for redemptions to just 10,000 at all its hotels in North America for stays between November 1 and January 31, 2018. That means all those points you earned in the fall (or before) can be redeemed at deeply discounted levels– 10,000 points is cheap when you consider that the average Best Western redemption goes for about 16,000 points. And at many of its very best Premier hotels, rooms typically go for a lot more.
You saw that right! Just 10,000 Rewards points for a stay in NYC in January.

What’s remarkable about this promotion is the breadth of that redemption offer– you can get a free night for just 10,000 points at some of the nicest Best Western Hotels & Resorts out there where rooms typically go for close to 40,000 points per night. How nice? Well, we’ve cherry picked some of the best below– some are perfect for business travel, others might be better suited for a mid-winter long weekend.

New York City: The Big Apple has become freakishly expensive this year, so a room for just 10,000 points per night is quite a deal at two of the highest rated Best Westerns in the area: The Best Western Premier Herald Square (on West 36th Street) and over in New Jersey, the new Best Western Premier NYC Gateway.

San Francisco: Like New York, San Francisco hotels have become painfully expensive- especially when there’s a big convention in town. You can stay in the thick of things at the The Cartwright Hotel, Union Square, BW Premier Collection and walk everywhere… Moscone Center is about 10 minutes away (downhill from the hotel). The Financial district and Embarcadero are about 15 minutes away. And it’s also an easy walk from the Powell Street BART station.
