If Members have questions concerning the Offer, they should contact Best Western International, Inc.’s customer care department via telephone at 1(800) 444-7646 or email at StatusMatch@bestwestern.com.
Best Western International, Inc. will determine the equivalent Best Western Rewards Elite Status Membership level that matches the Member’s current Competitor Loyalty Program elite tier/status level, based upon a review of the number of qualifying nights required to meet the comparable elite tier/status level.

Only elite tier/status level will be matched (competing hotel chain’s point levels will not be matched). All Best Western Rewards program rules apply.
