Best Western Rewards has come out with an elite status promotion for Front Line Workers. If you work in the medical field, the hospitality industry, the restaurant industry, shipping and e-Commerce, retail, and others you are eligible to receive free Best Western Rewards Gold Elite status until January 31, 2022. If you already have status that was earned by meeting tier requirements over the previous 12 months you’ll be upgraded to the next level and if you happen to have Diamond Select status you will be awarded Diamond Select for Life status. The terms don’t state how BWR confirms you are an essential front line worker but they do state it can take 2-3 weeks to get the upgrade so it may be possible they will reach out for confirmation.
