Leave it to BW to have yet another confusing promo. The confusion this time is on what the difference between oodles of flavors is.
The basics of all of them seem to be:
"Complete 2 separate qualified stays and earn double rewards between 2/7 and 3/28/10"
"To qualify for triple rewards, reservations must be booked at" (more on this in a moment)
"Double or triple rewards will accrue beginning with the second qualified stay, and continue on each qualified stay thereafter, for up to four (4) stays (maximum of three (3) bonuses) during the Promotion Period."
Now here's the kicker: In the past, the AAA flavor has had either a bigger bonus or fewer qualificaiton requirements. Not that I can tell this time. In fact, the AAA bonus this time says it requires booking at a AAA site, rather than the normal Best Western site! Yuck! So even though I'm a BW AAA member, I just registered for the normal promo, since it will give me triple rewards for booking at bestwestern.com.
But that wasn't the end of it. I think I counted six (6) total flavors of the same promo, that showed up under Register For Special Offers (under My Account after I've logged in), and it took a while to parse and compare them all! Why must they make it so complicated???
(I can't confirm what all the other flavors were or list them now, since all the others disappeared as soon as I regsitered for one of them.)
