Best Western® Low Rate, Guaranteed! Programme (“Program”): If a consumer finds a lower published rate on the Internet, excluding taxes and fees, at any Best Western branded hotel in Great Britain than the rate published on bestwestern.co.uk, bestwestern.com or a participating affiliate organisation website, Best Western International, Inc.

  •  

  • Only one check-in/check-out permitted per stay. Limit one (1) Travel Card per household per claim for any stay and only one (1) Travel Card per household during any thirty (30) day period (lower rate will be honoured regardless of eligibility of Travel Card due to limitations).

  •  

  • Reservations booked within forty-eight (48) hours of the hotel’s earliest published check-in time on the arrival date of the claim are not eligible for the Programme.

  • The competing rate must be for the same hotel, dates, length of stay, currency, number of guests and similar room type. Additionally, the competing rate must be publicly viewable and bookable via the Internet at the time the claim is reviewed by a Best Western Customer Care Specialist. A viewable rate means that the general public can view the rate on the website. A bookable rate means that the rate is available and can be reserved online.
  •  

  • Websites and online memberships or programs that require a password or login to view hotel rates and inventory are not eligible for the Programme. This includes any memberships or programs in which membership is not automatic and

  • Best Western’s Customer Care Specialists have the sole discretion to determine the validity of a claim. In order to be valid, a claim must meet all of the Terms and Conditions contained herein. 
  •  

  • Upon validation of a claim, a Customer Care Specialist will send an email or other communication to the consumer, which will include the reservation confirmation number, a file tracking number for the claim, and the new rate the consumer will be charged.

  •  

  • The $100 (USD) Travel Card will be emailed or mailed after the consumer’s stay is completed. Virtual cards will be emailed within two to three weeks after the consumer’s stay is completed. Physical plastic cards will be mailed within four to six weeks after the consumer’s stay is completed.
  •  

  • For a multiple night stay, the total cost for the stay will be evaluated in determining whether the competing rate is lower.
  •  

  • The difference between the rates when compared pursuant to these terms and conditions must be equal to or greater than $1.00 (USD). 
  •  

  • Best Western Rewards® points or airline miles will be awarded based on the rate actually paid by the consumer at check-out.
