Any Sign Up Bonus?
 

Does anyone know if there is any sign up bonus for new members ready to join Best Western Rewards? Thanks in advance!

Not exactly a bonus for just signing up, but you can earn a bonus for your first stay:

Is that still the best option for new members?

Uh, that only applies to those in the US, while all of the previous posts in this thread were from people outside the US:
Please pay attention to that when promoting stuff having to with credit card offers (which only tend to be available in the US) in the context of a worldwide hotel program.

As far as bonuses for joining the program itself, there is a permanent 10% bonus on base rates for paid stays, if you join via the AAA or CAA versions of the program. (The CAA version works for PEOPLE IN CANADA.)

It's essentially 1 pt/$ bonus for qualifying rates.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I just signed up for a BW account 3 days ago then enrolled for their business advantage program. Put only myself (owner) and my wife as the employees of the business and was approved. Instant Diamond status for me and Gold status for my wife. Also 10% discount on all BAR stays

My bad. The words "Sign up bonus" have very specific meaning to me. I tend to overlook there are more meanings than one. Not trying to promote it though, just to inform.
