REWARDS ARE HEATING UP THIS SUMMER AT BEST WESTERN® HOTELS & RESORTS

Best Western Rewards® members can save this summer with a Free Night Award

PHOENIX, May 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Western Hotels & Resorts' (BWHR) award-winning loyalty program – Best Western Rewards® (BWR®) – is helping guests get a head start on their summer travel plans. From June 6, 2022 to September 4, 2022, BWR members who stay two nights at any participating Best Western branded hotel can earn a free night to stay at any Best Western in the U.S., Canada or Caribbean Islands after Labor Day, after registering on bestwesternrewards.com prior to the completion of their first stay.

"With summer around the corner, travelers are eager to book their upcoming trips, and we want to help our loyal guests save as they plan their next solo, couple, family or business trip," said Dorothy Dowling, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for BWHR. "After two challenging summers, we anticipate that more travelers will hit the road and skies this coming season, and our rich promotion will make their vacations more affordable and rewarding. Whether our guests are business travelers en route to visit with a customer or adventurers visiting scenic mountain towns, our rewards promotion will help them make the most out of their summer travel plans by earning one free night award for the fall."

The BWR program's perks are driven by BWHR's foundational commitment of caring for its guests. In 2020, BWHR became the first hotel in the industry to extend Elite status to its BWR members at the start of the pandemic. In 2021, the company also cut its Elite Status eligibility qualifications in half to make it easier for travelers to earn loyalty status and further extended loyalty status through March 31, 2023, without needing to fulfill the necessary qualifications. In addition to and inspired by the brand's caring spirit, BWHR launched an industry-leading cleaning program, We Care Clean^SM, which delivers an enhanced commitment to keeping guests safe and healthy when staying at Best Western branded hotels across North America.
