Tuesday’s Daily Getaways’ offer is a lone soul- just one deal for discounted Best Western rewards points. These packages have been available for the last couple years, though I’m not sure I’m going to bite on this. This year’s release is the same as last year, with 835 packages of 10,000 points available. Remember, if you’re wanting to buy this, deals go live at 1pm ET.
The Details
- 10,000 points deposited in your Best Western Rewards account
- $55
- 835 packages available
- Points never expire
- Max purchase of 5 per loyalty number
Thoughts
There’s definitely value to be had with Best Western, but the cash rates at their hotels are often quite low. Couple this with their lack of published award chart, and variable redemption rates at anywhere between 8,000 to 36,000 points per night, and you could easily find yourself holding the negative end of the stick. I don’t stay often at Best Western hotels, though Dan Miller did in Indianapolis and had a decent time, despite his nearly-impossible-to-achieve success with their best rate guarantee.
Has anyone bought into this before? What did you use the points for?
Dan Miller travels with his wife and 6 (SIX!) children. He loves to help families travel for free / cheap, especially larger families. If you are looking for help, drop him an email at 
This is jumping the gun a bit but we need a blogger to look at the Hertz deal next week. Hertz just implemented one of the biggest devaluations I’ve ever seen (awards costs increased 50-67% across the board). The deal for next week is now completely inaccurate and misleading in its description (not their fault – Hertz did this completely underhandedly). As example, the 16,500 rewards now costs 25,000. The 13,200 reward doesn’t even exist as weekend rewards were eliminated.
Hey David,
I’ll be putting up the recap for next week over the weekend as well as daily posts about the getaways, so make sure to check back then.
Will do – just wanted to make sure you take a look at the devaluation that was put into place AFTER the Getaway was posted since the description on the Getaway site is very incorrect now. Curious to see if they change it since you cannot get what it advertises for the points they’re selling.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention – I’ve reached out to my PR contact at Daily Getaways to see if they’re aware / what they’re planning (I’m guessing nothing but willing to be pleasantly surprised…)
Just looking into this. Found a Flyertalk thread confirming this. So bummed.
It’s true – and bad. Massive underhanded, no-notice Hertz devaluation ahead of Daily Getaways!
