Best Western Gold Crown Club

Program Overview

Gold Crown Club is the Best Western frequent stay program which started in 1988. Best Western is one of the biggest hotel chains in North America. There are approximately 4000 hotels in this company.

Earn Opportunities

Membership and rewards vary. There are several different levels. For the basic level you can receive 10 points for every dollar spent at Best Western Hotels.

Redeem Opportunities

Free rooms start at 8000 points. Or you can receive other perks such as gift cards, tickets to amusements or merchandise starting at less than 7000 points. Donations of points can also be made to charities.

Transfer Opportunities

Stays at participating Best Western's can also be used to obtain credits towards Southwest Airlines, or mile in the Air Miles reward program.

Conclusion

Due to it being a large hotel chain rewards can rack up easily. Also with its partners rewards can be used for other things. But if you are not a frequent traveler points are only available 11 months after obtaining them. Also 800 dollars must be spent to obtain a free night. The average traveler probably will not spend this much on hotels in a year.
