“While other loyalty programs take steps to devalue their currency, Best Western Rewards is actively seeking to enhance its customer value proposition”
The Best Western Rewards MasterCard Series is the next evolution of the hotel brand’s Best Western Rewards loyalty program, in which 25 million members earn points that never expire, redeemable at any Best Western hotel worldwide.
“While other loyalty programs take steps to devalue their currency, Best Western Rewards is actively seeking to enhance its customer value proposition,” said Dorothy Dowling, senior vice president of marketing and sales for Best Western International. “Our partnership with First Bankcard and the addition of industry-leading card benefits underscore our commitment to providing exceptional value and quality to Best Western Rewards members.”
“We are excited to partner with Best Western to help grow its loyalty program and reinforce its commitment to providing superior value and quality to its guests,” said Stephen F. Eulie, president of First Bankcard. “We share the same pledge to provide outstanding customer service and value to our partners, and our culture allows us to be agile and responsive to the evolving needs of our partners and their customers.”
Best Western Rewards points can be redeemed for a variety of services and merchandise, from night stays to gift cards. Earlier this year, Best Western Rewards received a top three ranking by J.D. Power and Associates and U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, the loyalty program brought home top honors at Loyalty360’s annual Loyalty Expo earning the North American 360-Degree Platinum Award and a platinum award for Best Customer Insight in Loyalty Marketing.
