Where on the BW Website Can I Find Hotel Point Rqts?

[Explore]

I need to understand how many points are required for a sampling of specific hotels. Other hotel programs make that easy to find out.

Is there anywhere to find this information at the BW website, or do you need a copy of their thick printed directory, or.....?

Thanks.....

My experience has been that you have to actually go through the drill of trying to make a reservation at the location in which you are interested, specifiying reward points when you enter your travel dates, etc. It will then bring up all BW properties like within a hundred miles or so and the required points.

You can find it on the BW website, but only once your earning preference is set to points. If you normally have your earning preference set to miles, you will have to change it to points to find this information, and then (if you iwsh) you can change it back afterwards.

Once your earning preference is set to points, there's a "search by points" checkbox next tot the hotel search area on the main page at www.bestwestern.com. If you check that box, it shows you available hotels with the point amounts rather than money amounts. (In fact, after I did some searches that way, now I've found that for whatever reason it keeps defaulting to checked for me now, so I have to keep unchecking it!)

You don't actually have to have enough points to see how many points it takes. I was able to do searches with only a few hundred points in my account, once I changed to points earning.
