Last week we let you know about Best Western’s upcoming summer promotions and the first of the two promotions is now here! Tanks-A-Lot as it is called will provide BW Rewards members with a $25 Best Western Travel Card after they complete 1 stay at a Best Western Hotel and submit a receipt showing a purchase of $10 (C$/US$) or more of gasoline or electric vehicle charging charges.
This was the offer as outlined as follows by Best Western to us last week:
- Travel by car and Best Western will cover your gas. Valid from June 15 to August 31, 2020, any member staying at a Best Western-branded hotel and visiting by car during the promotional period will receive a $25 Best Western Travel Card® (gift card). Registration will be required.
The only difference we see now from the actual offer being live to that from last week is that you don’t have to register for the promotion. You simply need to submit all the details to Best Western after your stay to receive the travel card. Here are the exact instructions from Best Western:
Best Western Rewards members*** (“Member(s)”) who: (a) have a valid email address listed in the Member’s account profile; (b) complete an eligible stay* at any Best Western® branded hotel in the United States, Canada, or the Caribbean Islands between June 15, 2020 and August 31, 2020, (“Promotion Period”); (c) purchase at least $10 USD/CAD worth of gasoline/electric vehicle charges within ten (10) days of the eligible stay; and (d) email their Best Western Rewards number as well as the confirmation number and hotel location (city/state) for the eligible stay and an image of their gasoline/electric vehicle charging station receipt showing only the amount purchased and date on the receipt to tanks-a-lot@bestwestern.com by September 5, 2020, will earn one promotional USD/CAD $25** Best Western Travel Card® (“Travel Card”). There is a limit of one (1) USD/CAD $25 Travel Card per Member during the Promotion. Travel Card expires on December 31, 2020.
As you can see the Travel Card must be used for future travel in 2020 as it has an expiry date of December 31, 2020.This is the same as the 20% bonus travel cards that you can receive right now when you buy $100 Best Western Gift Cards. Read more about that offer here.

And taking notes from our post last week here are the details of the other Best Western offer that will launch next Monday:
- Stay with Best Western this summer and earn a $25 gift card. BWR members who stay one eligible night between June 22 and September 7, 2020 at any Best Western-branded hotel in the U.S. or Canada will earn a $25 Best Western gift card. Registration will be required.

Why do they care how you get there? It seems to me that the gas receipt requirement is there to reduce the claim percentage,. People will forget to get or the receipt, or will lose it. Others will procrastinate too long, of forget to send it in.
