Best Western now has two ongoing promotions. The first offers 2,000 bonus points per stay in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean between October 1 and October 28, and the second offers double points on all stays worldwide completed between September 8 and December 31, 2026.

Here’s everything you need to know to register, qualify, and maximize these Best Western promotions.

Earn 2,000 Bonus Points per Stay in October

Best Western just launched a new promotion that lets you earn up to 20,000 bonus points between October 1 and October 28, 2026.

First, register for this promotion, and then book and complete stays at any Best Western property in the U.S., Canada, or the Caribbean between October 1 and October 28, 2026, to earn 2,000 bonus points per stay. Repeat up to 10 times to earn up to 20,000 bonus points.

This offer states it is not valid with any other offer, promotion, or discount. However, it overlaps with the offer below, which lets you earn double points with every stay. It seems members can take advantage of both offers simultaneously, as long as the stay is in the U.S., Canada, or the Caribbean between October 1 and October 28, 2026.

Any length of stay is eligible, as long as the member books a rate that is eligible to earn points. Since you earn bonus points per stay rather than per night, shorter stays offer better rewards. While this promotion isn't as good as previous offers that earned 2,000 bonus points per night, it's still a nice bonus if you're already planning a Best Western stay. Otherwise, you don't necessarily need to go out of your way to earn roughly $12 in points.

Earn Double Points with Every Stay

Best Western does an excellent job of keeping its promotions back-to-back. The other Best Western promotion currently running offers members double bonus points through the end of the year. As usual, logging into your account automatically registers you for this promotion. After registering, members will earn double points on all stays at Best Western properties worldwide completed between September 8 and December 31, 2026.

Eligible stays can be of any length and must be booked directly with Best Western at a rate eligible for earning points.

Best Western Rewards members earn 10 base points per dollar on eligible stays, plus a bonus for elite status. This offer doubles that to 20 points per dollar. So, spending $200 on a 2-night stay earns 4,000 bonus points. Compared to the previous offer of 1,000 bonus points per night, this offer is more rewarding for higher-cost stays, and prices tend to go up over the holiday season.

Key terms

  • Log in to your Best Western account to automatically register for this promotion.
  • Book eligible stays of any length at Best Western properties worldwide.

Our Take

Best Western Rewards doesn’t get as much attention as some other hotel loyalty programs, but if you stay at its properties often, there’s usually at least one worthwhile promotion that can make your stays more rewarding. And right now, there are two lucrative offers.

If you plan to take advantage of either offer, log in to your account to register automatically. To earn 2,000 bonus points per stay, complete your stays in the U.S., Canada, or the Caribbean between October 1 and October 28. Eligible stays to earn double points run from September 8 to December 31, 2026. Presumably, you can stack these offers for even more rewards if you book soon enough.
