Licensed Hotels and Affiliates might have their own privacy policies, which might be different from this Policy. To learn about the privacy practices of any of the Licensed Hotels or Affiliates, please review their respective privacy policies, not this Policy.
While this Policy is intended to describe the broadest range of our information processing activities globally, those activities may be more limited in some jurisdictions based on the restrictions of their laws.

For example, if you voluntarily convey a health-related need to us, we may store and use that information in order for a Licensed Hotel to provide a room with appropriate amenities. We do not collect or store Sensitive Personal Data unless it is voluntarily provided by you. By providing such Sensitive Personal Data, you expressly consent to our collection, processing and storage of that information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Please note that we treat IP addresses, server log files, and related information as Non-Personal Information, except when we are required to do otherwise under applicable law.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POLICY DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PRIVACY OR INFORMATION PRACTICES OF ANY THIRD PARTIES, INCLUDING LICENSED HOTELS AND AFFILIATES.
Because the security of your Personal Data is important to us, we have implemented security measures that provide reasonable precautions against the unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of Personal Data. The Personal Data we collect from you online is stored by us and/or our service providers and protected through a combination of physical and electronic access controls, firewall technology, and other reasonable security measures.

Please note that, if you choose to notify us via physical mail, this will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the alleged problem.

However, if you choose not to provide certain details, some of your experiences with us may be affected (for example, we cannot take a reservation without a name, and if we cannot disclose your Personal Data to Licensed Hotels or Affiliates, we may be unable to provide you with all or certain reservation services, other services, or membership-program-related benefits. Similarly, if we cannot disclose your Personal Data to other third parties, such as BWR partners (e.g., airlines, card issuers and other third parties), we may not be able to provide all of the available membership program services to you (e.g., earning of frequent customer points with such companies), or the provision of such services may be delayed).

Please note that when you unsubscribe from receiving promotional e-mails from us, your contact details will be "suppressed" rather than deleted. This will ensure that your request is recorded and retained unless you provide a later consent that overrides it.
If you have a BWR account, we ask you to indicate your communication preferences at the time you become a member of the BWR program. Once you have indicated your preferences, you can change them by logging into your account.
Please note that if you opt-out as described above, we will not be able to remove your Personal Data from the databases of Licensed Hotels, Affiliates, or other third parties with which we have already shared your Personal Data.

The following booking conditions together with the general information contained on this website form the basis of your contract with Interchange & Consort Hotels Limited trading as Best Western Hotels. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. Please note: To make a booking, you may either book online (where available), telephone our Reservations Centre on 0800 393130 or telephone the hotel concerned direct on the number given within the hotel description.
Please note: We act as agent only in respect of all bookings we take or make on your behalf. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any hotel accommodation and/or other arrangements that you book ('arrangements') or for the acts or omissions of any hotel or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with the arrangements. For all bookings your contract will be with the supplier of the hotel accommodation ('the hotel'). That hotel's booking conditions will apply to your contract. Copies of these terms and conditions are available from us on request. We do not sell or offer for sale any "packages" or act as an "organiser" within the meaning of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
In these Booking Conditions, "you" and "your" means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). "We", "us" and "our" means Interchange & Consort Hotels Limited trading as Best Western Hotels.
To make a booking, you may either book online (where available), telephone our Reservations Centre on 0800 393130 or telephone the hotel concerned direct on the number given within the hotel description. The person making the booking ("the party leader") must be at least 18 and must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons named on the booking. By making a booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised and that all party members agree to be bound by these Booking Conditions. (Please note some hotels will refuse entry if none of the staying party are above the age of 18. Please check with the individual hotel directly before your stay) The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to the hotel concerned. Subject to availability, we will confirm your arrangements on behalf of the hotel concerned by issuing a confirmation upon request by fax, email or post. This will be sent to the party leader or your travel agent.Please check this carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information, which appears on the confirmation, or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. As we act only as agent we will have no responsibility for any errors in any documentation except where those errors were made by us. Subject to this, we regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so. The only exception to this requirement to meet costs is where the mistake in question was made by us and there is good reason why you did not tell us about it within these time limits. The confirmation will also be available to view at all times in the 'Retrieve a Reservation' section on our website. You will need to log in in order to view the confirmation details.
These are rates based on room only and bed & breakfast and at some hotels, a dinner, bed & breakfast option is available. The following terms apply to bookings made at these rates:-
Fully flexible rate
These are reduced rates based on room only, bed & breakfast or dinner, bed and breakfast where bookings are made at least 3 days in advance. The following terms apply to bookings made at these rates:-
In respect of all arrangements requiring payment prior to the start of the arrangements in question, if we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume (on behalf of the hotel (s) concerned) that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all monies paid or due at that date and you must pay the cancellation charges shown above depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled (on behalf of the hotel (s) concerned).
As we act only as agent for the hotel (s) concerned, we reserve the right to pass on to you in full all additional costs and charges of whatever nature imposed by the hotel (s) in accordance with its own terms and conditions.
Except where otherwise advised or stated in the booking conditions of the hotel concerned, all monies you pay to us for arrangements will be held on your behalf until the arrangements in question have been performed, after which, we will hold them on behalf of the hotel(s) concerned.
Payment for incidental extras (e.g. mini bars, telephone charges, etc.) must be made directly to the hotel before you check out.
In order to authenticate your bank account Best Western will make a request for a $1 transaction. This is only a request for a transition and will be seen in your account as a 'Pending Transaction'. Please note that the money does not get transferred from your account as the request is never settled with your bank or Credit Card Company. The length of time this authorization request will appear on your account will depend on the policy of your bank or Credit Card Company.
A binding contract between you and the hotel concerned comes into existence when we send your confirmation invoice on the hotel(s') behalf to the party leader and the terms and conditions of the hotel, in addition to these conditions, will be applicable to the contract. English Law will apply to our agreement and to any dispute or claim which arises between us out of it. Any such dispute or claim must be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Changes to these Booking Conditions or the General Information shown in our website will only be valid if agreed by us in writing.
Supplements for single rooms or single occupancy of a twin/double may apply. Superior rooms/suites are often available at a supplement. Please read our General Information section too. The prices of unsold arrangements may be increased or decreased at any time. The price of your chosen arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen arrangements at the time of booking. Once the actual price of your arrangements has been confirmed, no amendment will be made to it.
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you must notify us in writing or contact us on 0800 393130 as soon as possible. Whilst we will try to assist you we regret amendment requests cannot always be met. Where an amendment can be made, any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by the hotel will be payable. See also, the specific terms detailed above.
Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen break once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise our Reservations Centre on 0800 393130 or cancel online. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received by our Reservations Centre, at which time you will be given a cancellation number relating to the date and time of your call / online cancellation. You must keep this for reference. The cancellation charges of the hotel concerned will apply. Please refer to each of the Best Western products listed above for full details of each individual cancellation policy.
If there is a change to or cancellation of your booking we will pass on the new details to you together with any compensation that the hotel may offer. As agent only for the hotel we cannot accept any liability for any changes or cancellations made to your booking.
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party. Please note that not all insurance policies intended for travel overseas are adequate to cover you for the hotel stays featured on our website. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs. We do not check insurance policies.
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of "force majeure". In these Booking Conditions, "force majeure" means any event which we or the hotel in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
We act only as an agent for the hotel(s) concerned. Your contract for your arrangements is directly with the hotel(s) concerned. We accept no liability in relation to the arrangements themselves or for the acts or omissions of the hotel(s) concerned. For all bookings, the terms and conditions of the hotel will apply to your contract (copies available on request from us). However, in the event that we are found liable on any basis whatsoever in relation to your booking our maximum liability to you if we are found to have been at fault in relation to any service we provide as agent for the hotel(s) concerned (as opposed to any service provided by the hotel(s) for whom we are not responsible) is limited to twice the cost of the booking in question. We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury which arises as a result of our negligence or that of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
In the event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your break whilst away, you must immediately inform the hotel (s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to the hotel's general manager within 28 days of the end of your stay giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. If you have any complaints concerning any services we provide, you must inform us straight away in writing and in any event within 28 days of the end of your stay. For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause. NB please bear in mind that we act only as agent for the hotel(s) concerned and therefore cannot accept any liability for your arrangements. Any assistance provided in resolving a complaint in relation to any arrangements is provided on a goodwill basis and in our capacity as agent only.
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the hotel or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party's full legal costs) as a result of your actions. Hotels reserve the right at any time to terminate your stay or that of any member of your party due to misconduct, where justified in their reasonable opinion. No refunds will be given. Furthermore, neither the hotel(s) nor we shall be under any obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of your stay being terminated.
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant hotel, we regret neither we nor the hotel concerned can guarantee any request will be met unless we have written to you with specific confirmation that it will. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the hotel or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as "standard" bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If the hotel reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right on behalf of the hotel(s) concerned to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel on behalf of the hotel(s) concerned when we become aware of these details.
Hotels that show the Disabled Facilities symbol in their entry have had their facilities inspected by an approved independent inspector e.g. Tourism for All, or regional tourist boards. A number of other hotels within the group do have facilities for disabled guests however they may not have an official accreditation. We do therefore strongly recommend you check with either our reservations centre or the hotel directly before booking to ensure your chosen hotel can meet all your requirements.
Alternatively, if you have difficulty walking but do not require a specially adapted room, you may request a room near to reception on the ground floor for easier access. However ground floor or adapted rooms may have limited availability, and cannot be guaranteed to be allocated on arrival. Again it is advisable to ensure that we are fully aware of all circumstances on making the booking to ensure that your chosen hotel has the availability to meet your requirements in full.
Guide dogs are welcome at all Best Western hotels, but please make us aware of your requirements at the time of booking.
You are responsible for having all proper travel documents and vouchers. If you are unable to travel or complete a stay by reason of not having proper documents you will not be entitled to any refund and we will not be liable for any cost or expense that you may incur as a result.
Except for monies that you pay to us for bookings made up of accommodation only, all monies that you pay to us in respect of your break will be held in a specifically designated bank account administered by independent trustees until your break is over or the monies are refunded to you. These arrangements mean that (unless you have made a booking for accommodation only) this money will be refunded in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your break due to our insolvency.
Our free children's accommodation offer is subject to the availability of a family room accommodating up to 2 adults & 2 children (minimum two paying adults). Extra beds and interconnecting rooms may incur a supplement charge.
Children who are aged 12 or under at the time of their stay eat breakfast for free in conjunction with the purchase of an adult breakfast (as part of a breakfast inclusive rate).
Hotels may withdraw or change facilities and services. If possible, we will inform you of any changes before you travel if we believe this will have a significant effect on your stay. Our photographs are intended to give you a general impression of the hotel. Variations can occur from room to room.
Classification: The star ratings shown are based on the latest official inspection. The AA or the Tourist Boards annually inspect all Best Western hotels.
Meals: All hotels provide a full traditional breakfast apart from Central London hotels that offer a continental breakfast. Bed and Breakfast means breakfast is the only meal included in the price. This may be a full traditional or continental breakfast. You will be advised at the time of booking. Dinner, Bed & Breakfast means breakfast and evening meal (or a la carte allowance) are included in the price. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know so that we can tell the hotel before you travel, but note we cannot guarantee that the hotel can satisfy your request.
Rooms & facilities: Some hotels (e.g. city centres, in particular in London), have much smaller bedrooms than you may be used to. Public facilities, e.g. bars and restaurants, may only open if there is sufficient demand, particularly in low season. Hotels may have to redecorate or refurbish when you are visiting, which may mean the temporary closure of public rooms or facilities. Rooms may be twin or double. A double bed may consist of twins pushed or joined together. Hotel rooms may be allocated in any part of the property (including annexes, new extensions). Please note that rooms sleeping three/four persons may offer any combination of single, double and foldaway beds. Older, more traditional hotels may have specific single rooms and these are likely to be small. On the other hand, many hotels allocate a twin or double for use as a 'single' room. A single room supplement may be payable, and this will be advised to you before booking. Non-smoking bedrooms are available at all hotels.
Check-in: On arrival, your room is normally available after 2pm. If you plan to arrive after 6pm please advise the hotel directly by calling the number given in the hotel description. Failure to confirm late arrival with the hotel or Central Reservations may result in your room being resold, and our cancellation terms will apply.
Car parking: You will find free parking at the majority of our hotels, except in London and some major city centres, where hotels may have reduced fee arrangements with nearby car parks. Please check the parking facilities available at individual hotels with your Reservations agent.
Leisure clubs/swimming pools: Restrictions relating to the use of hotel leisure facilities and opening times are entirely at the discretion of the hotel/leisure club manager. Please ask at the hotel reception for rules and opening times when checking in. If a specific facility is required you are advised to check with the hotel direct by calling the telephone number in the hotel description prior to arrival. Additional restrictions may apply for the use of such facilities by children. There may be a charge for the use of some facilities.
Lifts: Hotels with no lift show 'no lift' in their entry. Luggage assistance is available at the majority of these hotels. Please check when booking.
Pets: Pets are accepted only at the discretion of the hotel and are usually not allowed in public areas. If you intend to bring any pets this should be indicated on your initial enquiry. The Reservations Team will then check the suitability of your chosen hotel to accept pets. Charges may be made for pets. Guide dogs are specifically excluded from this policy and are welcome at all hotels.

If you have any questions about taxes and fees, or when they will be charged, please check with the hotel for details before booking.

Please note that the hotel may also charge for other items not included in the quoted price or Taxes and Fees, such as hotel resort fees, hotel energy surcharges, parking fees, pet fees, and incidental charges (e.g., mini-bar).

All stays are eligible to earn points ("Eligible Stays") with the exception of the following (Non-Eligible Stays"):
Stays booked through online travel agencies ("OTAs"), such as priceline.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com, booking.com, kayak.com (i.e., channels other than Best Western branded booking channels);
Stays booked through tour operators; and
Stays booked at special discounted rates, such as employee rates, FIT/wholesale/net rates, motorcoach/bus rates, crew rates, BWR free night awards rates (FX rates), or discounted rates for stays longer than thirty (30) nights.
What constitutes a rate or booking channel that qualifies as an Eligible Stay versus a Non-eligible Stay may change and so you should always confirm when making a reservation whether you are reserving a rate that qualifies as an Eligible Stay, for which you can earn Points, or a Non-Eligible Stay, for which you will not earn Points. This is more important if you are booking through a channel other than a Best Western branded booking channel.
You earn ten (10) Points for each $1.00 U.S. Dollar (or fraction of a U.S. Dollar) paid for an Eligible Stay, including VAT in certain areas outside the United States, but excluding amounts paid for non-VAT tax and incidentals. You can earn Points for up to three (3) rooms per Eligible Stay provided that: (a) one (1) room is occupied by you; (b) you pay for all the rooms; (c) Points for that room have not been issued to another Member; and (d) you presented your Best Western Rewards® membership number at the time of booking or at check-in.
If you occupy a room with another Member, only one (1) Member will receive the Points and you must decide amongst yourselves who will receive the Points.
Points are added to your Account within seven (7) business days following check-out.
Individual hotel rooms that are billed directly to a corporate account but where you are individually responsible for authorisation of settlement at check-out constitute an Eligible Stay.
Only three rooms in an Eligible Stay for a group booking will receive Points. Selection of which three rooms (and Members) receive the Points is at the discretion of the person making the reservation.
In order to calculate Points for Eligible Stays that are paid for in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, BWI will first convert the amount of the payment to U.S. Dollars using a reasonable conversion rate, as determined by BWI no less than annually and in its sole discretion but based on officially published conversion rates, and then calculate the Points based on the converted payment amount.
If you have an Eligible Stay while you are a Member, but fail to present your Membership card or otherwise record the stay in your Account, you must request a credit for that Eligible Stay within six (6) months after the date of the Eligible Stay by visiting www.bestwestern.com or your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk, or by calling a Best Western call centre. Requests should include your name, Account number, address, daytime telephone number and/or e-mail address, and reservation confirmation number.
If you enrol in the Programme after having an Eligible Stay, you may request Points only if your enrolment occurred within thirty (30) days after your Eligible Stay. Requests should include your name, Account number, address, daytime telephone number and/or e-mail address, and reservation confirmation number.
Pooling of Points is available for individuals who share the same residential mailing address with a Member. Pooling is the collective earning of Points in one Account by individuals with the same mailing address.
Rather than earning Points for Eligible Stays or as otherwise provided herein, you can instead elect to earn airline miles ("Miles") with any of our approved partner frequent flyer programs ("Airline Programmes") by logging into your Account through www.bestwestern.com or the Local Site for your country of residence www.bestwestern.co.uk or by calling a Best Western call centre and directing BWI to award Miles (instead of Points) as your earning preference, identifying the Airline Programme, and providing your frequent flyer membership number for your preferred Airline Programme. Airline Programmes may award different point values based on the rules and conditions of the individual Airline Program. Contact a Best Western call centre prior to booking an Eligible Stay for current Miles award level information.
For a full list of Airline Programmes and details for earning Miles visit www.bestwesternrewards.com or your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk/rewards.
To be clear, if you direct BWI to award Miles instead of Points, you will not earn any Points for Eligible Stays or as otherwise provided herein; you will only earn Miles for the one Airline Programme you have selected. You may at any time return to earning Points instead of Miles using the same procedure.
Miles earned for your chosen Airline Programme are posted within approximately ten (10) business days following check-out. Because the posting of Miles requires airline participation, the timeframe may be longer in certain situations.
You can also convert Points that you have accumulated in your Account into Miles with certain Airline Programmes. Currently, only certain partners allow conversion of Points into Miles. We are always working to add this option for more Airline Partners. In the meantime, you can always elect to earn Miles instead of Points rather than convert at a later date.
Whether you elect to earn Miles as your earning preference or decide instead to earn Points and later convert them into Miles, each Airline Programme maintains its own rules, regulations, and programme terms and conditions, all of which will apply to your use of any Miles. BWI is not responsible for any Airline Programme's terms and conditions.
From time to time, BWI may offer special promotions in partnership with Airline Programmes that allow you to earn additional Miles. You can only take part in such promotions if, at the time of the promotion, you have chosen to earn Miles. Such promotions will be subject to any additional terms and conditions or promotion rules published where the promotion is advertised.
The Best Western Rewards® MasterCard® series of credit cards for U.S. residents and the Best Western Rewards® Platinum Plus® MasterCard®credit card for Canadian residents offers Members the opportunity to earn Points on every day eligible purchases. The Best Western Rewards®MasterCard® series of credit cards for U.S. residents are issued by First Bankcard, a division of First National Bank of Omaha. The Best Western Rewards® Platinum Plus® MasterCard® credit card for Canadian residents is issued by MBNA, a division of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. Both cards are subject to credit approval and additional terms and conditions as set by the card issuers. To apply for a card, visit www.bestwesternrewards.com.
From time to time, BWI will partner with great companies, from car rental companies to flower retailers to wine clubs and beyond, to provide you with other opportunities to earn Points when you purchase certain products and services. For details about these earning partners, visit www.bestwesternrewards.com or your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk.
You may also be selected to participate in exclusive, special promotions where you will have the opportunity to earn Bonus Points. Earning such Bonus Points is subject to any additional restrictions, requirements, or terms and conditions applicable to that particular promotion. Please read the terms and conditions for any special promotion closely before participating.
The number of Points required for one (1) free night stay at a Licensed Hotel is based on the expected average daily rate on the date requested for the stay, varies throughout the year, and is subject to change at BWI's discretion. To find the number of Points required for a free night stay, visit www.bestwestern.com, your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk, or a Best Western mobile application, or contact a Best Western call centre. A free night stay in a standard room at any Licensed Hotel includes the cost of the room and room taxes, but does not include incidental charges, resort fees, or other fees that the Licensed Hotel may charge, such as parking fees. Redeeming points for a free night stay are only allocated to standard room types. All other rooms types may incur a supplement charge and is at the discretion of the hotel.
Free night stays can be reserved at any Licensed Hotel worldwide subject to capacity controls and room availability. To check availability or to reserve a free night stay, visit www.bestwestern.com, your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk, or a Best Western mobile application; call a Best Western call centre; or book directly through a Licensed Hotel. Free night stays may not be booked through travel agents or online travel agents and are not commissionable. Free night stays are not exchangeable for cash.
Free night stays may be gifted to a recipient of your choice in the form of a printed or electronic voucher. Reservations for free night stay vouchers must be booked by calling a Best Western call centre.
If a free night reservation is not cancelled by the required hotel cancellation deadline and the guest is a "no show", the BWR member account will be charged the proper amount of points for the date of the free night reservation.
If you have directed BWI to award Miles instead of Points, then your Miles are earned at the time you pay for your Eligible Stays or through your purchases with other earning partners; those Miles are then transferred to your Airline Programme account and further redemption of Points from your Member Account is not necessary.
If you choose to convert your Points and redeem them for Miles, you can do so at any time by going to www.bestwestern.com, at which time the Miles are then transferred to your Airline Programme account.
Again, each Airline Programme maintains its own rules, regulations, and programme terms and conditions, all of which will apply to your use of any Miles. BWI is not responsible for any Airline Programme's terms and conditions.
Points will be converted into Miles at a conversion rate determined by BWI in its sole discretion using currently published conversion rates, which may change from time to time.
Special promotions: You may also be selected to participate in exclusive, special promotions where you will have the opportunity to redeem your Points for special offers. Such opportunities will be subject to any additional restrictions, requirements, or terms and conditions applicable to that particular promotion. Please read the terms and conditions for a special promotion closely before redeeming Points or participating.
The Best Western Travel Card®: Points can be used to purchase a Best Western Travel Card®, which can be used for lodging charges at any Licensed Hotel worldwide (i.e. room night charges and applicable taxes), and unless the Best Western Travel Card® is offered as a part of a promotion, it does not have an expiration date. Acceptance of the Best Western Travel Card® for services other than lodging charges is at the discretion of each Licensed Hotel. For a complete list of terms and conditions relating to the Best Western Travel Card®, visit www.travelcard.bestwestern.com. Your receipt of a Best Western Travel Card® does not constitute a reservation. Your Best Western Travel Card® will be issued in your local currency but will be redeemed in the currency of the Licensed Hotel where you use the Best Western Travel Card® at a then-current exchange rate, determined by BWI using a rate published by a media journal or newspaper, such as the Wall Street Journal.
Other Redemption Options: You can also redeem Points for a wide range of other items by visiting www.bestwestern.com or your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk, or by calling a Best Western call centre.
For redemption items that are delivered digitally, such as virtual gift cards, you will generally receive an email containing your gift card within seven (7) business days after redeeming your Points. For redemption items that are mailed to you, such as merchandise and physical gift cards, BWI endeavors to mail such items to you promptly, but occasionally, it may take between four (4) weeks to eight (8) weeks depending upon availability.
For security purposes, redeemed items cannot be shipped to a P.O. Box, and certain types of gift cards and merchandise may not be available outside of the certain regions. Please make sure the address in your Member Account is current before placing a redemption order.
All gift cards and gift certificates redeemed with Points are subject to any additional terms and conditions imposed by the applicable issuer, which may include expiration dates, inactivity fees, and other restrictions (except for the Best Western Travel Card®, which does not have expiration dates or inactivity fees unless it is issued as part of a promotion). Certain gift card and gift certificate providers charge fees for inactivity. Accordingly, BWI can only warrant that a gift card or gift certificate will be redeemable at full face value (i.e. no deductions for inactivity) for six (6) months from the date of your order.
Many redemption items are provided through independent suppliers and are subject to additional terms and conditions. BWI makes no guarantees, warranties or representations of any kind, express or implied, with respect to such items, and, to the extent permitted by the law of your jurisdiction, shall not be liable for any loss, expense, accident or inconvenience that may arise in connection with the use of such items. However, most merchandise items available through the Programme are backed by the manufacturer by a manufacturer's warranty.
For merchandise that is defective upon delivery or damaged during shipping Members should contact a Best Western call centre. BWI will contact the vendor, retailer, seller, or manufacturer of the item to seek a return label and provide the label to the Member to assist in their returning the merchandise and seeking an exchange. Gift cards and gift certificates are not exchangeable, refundable, or changeable under any circumstances and are not replaceable in the event of loss or destruction.
Charitable Donations: You may also choose to redeem Points for a charitable donation to certain approved charities, in which case the following conditions will apply.
The donation will be reflected on your online statement in your Account, which will constitute your receipt.
You are solely responsible for consulting your tax advisor regarding whether your donation of Points may be tax deductible.
Visit www.bestwesternrewards.com or your Local Site www.bestwestern.co.uk/rewards for further details on this redemption option.
General: Many redemption items are valid only in certain countries or are denominated in certain currencies.
It is the responsibility of the Member to select a redemption item that corresponds to the Member's intended use. To the extent permitted by applicable law, once fulfilled, redeemed items may not be returned or refunded, and items are subject to availability.
BWI shall make a good faith effort to fulfill an order with the items requested; however, BWI may substitute a similar item with equivalent value if an item is not available.
Members who book a reservation at a Licensed Hotel through www.bestwestern.com or a Local Site may receive a discount of 10% or more off the published "Flexible Rate." To take advantage of this discount, select the "Best Western Rewards® Rate Plan." This rate may not be available in all countries.
BWI offers four different levels of Elite Status Membership (Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond Select). To achieve an Elite Status, you must accumulate either the required number of Nights, Eligible Stays, or Points in a calendar year as designated in the chart below:
Status Level
(From Eligible Stays only; excludes Bonus Points or promotional points)
10 to 14 nights
7 to 9 Eligible Stays
10,000 to 14,999 Points
15 to 29 nights
10 to 19 Eligible Stays
15,000 to 29,999 Points
30 to 49 nights
20 to 39 Eligible Stays
30,000 to 49,999 Points
Diamond Select
50 or more nights
40 or more Eligible Stays
50,000 or more Points
Once you achieve Elite Status, that status will remain in effect for the remainder of the calendar year in which it is achieved and through the end of the next calendar year as well. If you meet the requirements for next Elite Status level you will progress to the next Elite Status level. For example, if you achieve Gold Elite Status in August 2016, you will retain Gold Elite Status through December 31, 2017. If you achieve Gold Elite Status in August 2016 and then Platinum Status in October 2016, you will retain Platinum Elite Status through December 31, 2017. BWI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to grant Elite Status to Members who have not met the Elite Status criteria.
As an Elite Status Member, where BWR points are set as the preferred earning preference, you will receive Bonus Points for each Eligible Stay completed during the time in which you maintain Elite Status, as follows:
Members who earn airline miles will not receive tier level bonus point or miles.
Members who have attained Elite Status may transfer Points to other Members, which shall be without charge.
Members who have attained Elite Status will be provided with a dedicated toll-free number to call to facilitate all reservations and account servicing needs.
Members who achieve Elite Status at the Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond Select levels receive a welcome gift upon check-in.
Members who have attained Elite Status at the Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond Select levels may receive an upgraded room at the time of check-in. Assignment of an upgraded room is within the sole discretion of the applicable Licensed Hotel and may include rooms with desirable views, rooms on high floors, corner rooms, rooms with special amenities or those in proximity to special amenities, or suites. A room upgrade is not available at BW Premier Collection® Licensed Hotels. In the event that a Member who has attained Elite Status at the Gold1, Platinum, Diamond, or Diamond Select level makes a reservation for multiple rooms, the room upgrade is only available for the room occupied by such Member and not for any other rooms in the reservation, and the Member with Elite Status must be present and occupy one (1) of the rooms to receive any benefit of Elite Status. In the event of a group reservation, only the Member who has the Elite Status will receive the benefits of Elite Status. Room upgrades are subject to availability at check-in. Licensed Hotels are not required to provide specialty rooms or suites room upgrades.
10% discount on free night redemptions for Platinum, Diamond, and Diamond Select members is in the form of an account rebate, and applies to redemptions at hotels in the United States and Canada only. 10% of the points used to redeem for each free night will be credited back to the account of redemption within 10 business days of the property requesting reimbursement for the free night voucher from Best Western Rewards.
Free night redemption guarantee is valid in the United States and Canada for Diamond or Diamond Select members who have called customer service to request a free night booking and when there is room availability at the selected hotel. Advanced reservations are required and any on-site redemption requests are subject to free-night inventory availability and may not be honored by the hotel.

Please Read This Carefully. It Affects Your Rights.
Unless prohibited by the laws of your jurisdiction, any and all disputes between you and BWI or any of its designated subsidiaries arising under or related in any way to these Terms or your participation in the Programme (defined below as Claims) shall be resolved by applying the laws of Arizona or the federal laws of the United States, as applicable, without regard to conflict of laws principles.
Further, any and all disputes between you and BWI or any of its designated subsidiaries arising under or related in any way to these Terms or your participation in the Programme must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes, including class action claims, relating to and arising from your participation in the Programme, including but not limited to any claims related to or arising out of unauthorized disclosure of or access to any Account Information ("Security Breach"), advertising or marketing claims, product liability, or consumer claims ("Claims").
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this section. For any claim where the total amount of the award sought is $10,000 or less, the AAA, you, and BWI must abide by the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted solely based on written submissions; and (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. If the claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA rules, and the hearing (if any) must take place solely and exclusively in Phoenix, Arizona. The arbitrator's ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court or is prohibited by the laws of your country of residence, then any Claims that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be solely and exclusively brought only in the state or federal courts within Phoenix, Arizona.
To the extent permitted by applicable law all Claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred (including, with respect to a Security Breach, costs of legally required notification and remediation) but in no event include attorneys' fees, and under no circumstances will any Member be permitted to obtain awards for, and hereby waives all rights to claim, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses.
To the extent the laws of your country of residence mandate the restriction or prohibition of the requirement to arbitrate, the prohibition against class actions, the application of the laws of Arizona or the federal laws of the United States as applicable, or the jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in Phoenix, Arizona, you agree that the following provisions of this paragraph shall apply: Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this contract (defined above broadly as Claims), including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under authority of the London Court of International Arbitration ("LCIA") and the LCIA Rules, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The number of arbitrators shall be three. The seat or legal place of arbitration shall be London, England. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The governing law in such an event shall be the substantive law of England and Wales.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member and BWI shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief (unless otherwise precluded by any other provision of these Terms) in the state and federal courts of Phoenix, Arizona.
Unless prohibited by the laws of your jurisdiction, all Terms, including all Point earning and redemption requirements are subject to revision without notice by BWI, in its sole and absolute discretion.
Determination and payment of tax liability is your sole responsibility as a Member.
Neither BWI, its subsidiaries, employees, agents, or partners, nor Licensed Hotels or Affiliates shall be responsible for lost or stolen awards.
Except for gifting of free night stays as permitted by these Terms, you may not transfer your Points to anyone without a valid court order or unless otherwise noted in these terms, such as for Elite Status Members.
Points are not redeemable for cash or any other form of credit unless specifically required by applicable law. Point value is set by BWI in its sole discretion and may be updated from time to time, as permitted by applicable law.
BWI may choose in its sole discretion to issue membership credentials in a variety of formats to Members. Physical membership credentials issued by BWI remain the sole property of Best Western and must be surrendered by the Member upon request.
BWI may modify the Points listed in your Account based on actual stay information.
BWI may terminate the Programme at any time without prior notice, in which case you must redeem your Points within ninety calendar days, or any other period required by the applicable law of your jurisdiction, after your receipt of notice of termination of the Programme to avoid forfeiting your Points.
The Programme is governed by laws of the United States and the State of Arizona without regard conflicts of laws principles, unless otherwise indicated in the "Special Notes" sections below. BWI is not responsible for illegible, lost, late, incomplete, misdirected, or undeliverable mail or e-mail; or for any computer, telephone, satellite, cable, network, electronic or Internet hardware or software malfunctions, failures, connections, or availability, or garbled, corrupt or jumbled transmissions, service provider/Internet/web site/use net accessibility, availability, or traffic congestion, or any technical, typographical, or other error, or unauthorised human intervention, or the incorrect or inaccurate capture of Account Information, or the failure to capture, or loss of, any such Account Information.
BWI assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, or technical error.

The waiver by BWI of any breach by a Member of a term, covenant, provision, or condition provided herein shall not constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach by the Member of the same or any other term, covenant, provision, or condition herein.
These Terms only apply to the extent permitted by the laws of the country, state, or province of the applicable Member.

Special Note: Best Western act only as an agent in respect of all bookings taken and/or made on your behalf.
Best Western has negotiated standard terms and conditions that will apply to all bookings made at Best Western Hotels via Best Western's Venues team. The following terms will govern both the venue in question and Best Western's relationship with the ultimate user of the venue. We have tried to make these terms and conditions as clear as possible. The objectives of them are:
1. What are your obligations?
2. What if you have to cancel or make substantial changes?
3. What if the hotel has to make significant changes or cancel?
4. What are the payment terms?
5. Does Force Majeure apply?
6. What is the venue's liability to me?
The venue will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from:
The venue excludes liability to the fullest extent permitted by law. In particular, we do not accept any liability for any loss of profit, economic loss or other indirect loss or for any loss suffered by any third party. In any event the liability of the venue shall not exceed the price payable by you. Where we are found liable for loss of or damage to luggage or personal possessions (including money), we are entitled to rely on the limitations of liability contained in the Paris Convention on the Liability of Hotel Keepers concerning the property of their guests.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any liability for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the venue or its employees.
You are subject to the venue's standard liabilities in relation to health, safety and security.
These terms do not affect any rights you may have under the Hotel Proprietors Act, where that Act applies.
7. What if I have a problem?
8. What if I have delegates with any special requirements or needs?
If you have any special request, you must make this known at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to meet the request, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your event, please make this known before you confirm your booking. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.
9. Is there anything else I need to be aware of?
10. Best Western Venues's Responsibilities
Best Western Venues act only as an agent in respect of all bookings taken and/or made on your behalf. Best Western Venues accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any hotel services or arrangements you purchase or for the acts or omissions of any venues or other supplier(s). For all arrangements, your contract will be with the supplier of the arrangements.
If you have any complaints concerning any services Best Western Venues provide, you must inform them straight away in writing and in any event within 28 days of the end of any arrangements booked through them. Best Western Venues regret they cannot accept any liability if they are not so notified.
Best Western Venues's maximum liability to you if they are found to have been at fault in relation to any service they provide (as opposed to any service provided by any venue or other supplier for whom they are not responsible) is limited to the commission they have earned or are due to earn in relation to the booking in question. Best Western Venues do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury which arises as a result of its negligence or that of its employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
11. Brochure and Website accuracy
Please note, the information shown in our Venues brochure and on the Venues website may have changed by the time you come to book your arrangements. Regrettably errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen arrangements with us or your agent at the time of booking.
