Best Western Rewards members can earn 1,200 Rapid Rewards points per Best Western stay from March 26 to May 27, 2014. This is double the normal earning rate for a hotel stay. Registration is required.
Best Western Rewards members must register for this offer and designate Rapid Rewards as their earning preference instead of points. The normal earning rate for Best Western Rewards points is 10 points per $1 and for most airline partners 250 miles per stay. Southwest Rapid Rewards normally earns 600 points per Best Western hotel stay.
Earning 1,200 Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards points for a Best Western hotel stay is a $16.80 value when applied to ‘Wanna Getaway’ fares. This is probably a better rebate value earning Rapid Rewards points rather than BWR hotel points on hotel stays under $200.
