Neither Best Western, nor Choice, nor Wyndham are programs for people who seek status benefits.

They're programs for people who want to accumulate points to use, among other things, in many small towns (including just outside many national parks) where there are no other points program hotels other than the above.

Along Norway's western fjords, the only point hotels are in the Best Western and Choice programs.

Around many national parks in the US, the closest points hotels are either Best Western and/or Choice and/or Wyndham. Only two Best Westerns near Bryce Canyon NP in Utah, only Choice and Wyndham in Port Angeles WA near Olympic National Park.
