What Best Western site do you use?

At www.bestwestern.com, when I log in, and click on Redeem, there's a menu on the left and the first entry is "Airline/Partner Rewards". When I click on that, it shows me not just the avialable programs but how many miles/points/whatever I get for a certain number of BW points.

But yes, what airlines you can transfer into is dependent on which country's Best Western program you belong to. For my US-based account, I can redeem into AA, US (? it's already gone and merged into AA!), UA, AC Aeroplan, Asiana, Southwest RapidRewards, AeroMexico, AirMiles, and TAM's Multiplus. For most of those, it explains that 5000 BW points will transfer into 1000 miles (or 1600 kms in the case of Aeromexico); for AirMiles it's 5000:80, and for Southwest RR it's 5000:1200.

So are you sure you can't get that information at the Best Western site that you use by logging in and navigating similarly?
