It’s not the best-known hotel rewards program out there, yet Best Western Rewards offers good value for budget travelers. The question is, how much value?

Based on our analysis, the short answer is: Best Western points are worth 0.7 cent each. This is a baseline value, drawn from real-world data, not a maximized value. In other words, you should aim for award redemptions that offer 0.7 cent or more in value from your Best Western points.

What does this value mean?

We compared several real-world room rates at Best Western properties, using cash or points, and found that Best Western points have a value of 0.7 cent apiece.

Consider this the baseline value for making your own rewards redemptions. If you’re getting more than 0.7 cent per point in value, you’re getting an above-average value. If you’re getting less, consider booking with cash or looking for another award rate.

This number also provides a rough estimate for determining the value of various Best Western promotions and credit card offers. Though keep in mind that it's only an estimate, not a hard cash value.
