[ANALYSIS] Elite Status with Best Western Rewards
You can read more about the Best Western Rewards program here. You can also read more about a recent stay at a Best Western Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia.
What I like most about the Best Western Rewards program is that the points will never expire (residents of the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Asia, South America, Central America, the Middle East and South Africa only), as well as no blackout dates for reward nights.
Below is going to be a discussion on the elite statuses of Best Western.

Even though Best Western does not have the most earth shattering elite status perks, I am still a very big fan of the program because of their affordable hotels and excellent customer service. So long as Best Western continues to improve their reward program, I will continue to give them a thumbs up and continue to be a customer of their hotels!
