This is a great deal for Best Western stays. Considering the high cost of the best Best Western properties, this is equivalent to 12,500 to 18,000 points per stay.
The elite status match offered by Best Western makes this offer one of the best deals ever from BW Rewards.

Update from the OP
I was reviewing this promo again, to make sure I had all my ducks in a row, as I have some stays coming up.
It appears Best Western added an additional benefit of 1,000 BW bonus points for paying for all qualifying stays with the BW MasterCard.
Here's a link to the T&C pdf: https://goldcrownclub.bestwestern.co...mer10-base.pdf

This is a good deal IF the free cert. can be used at ALL BWs--in contrast to the 16K vouchers of last year!
Perhaps BW has been inspired by Hyatt & Radisson

The promo states "allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery of free night voucher(s) from second qualified stay." I was on the horn with BW on another matter, and I was told BW would be shipping these out around two weeks from your second qualifying stay. ^

Second, I assume that it can be used when an identical base room can be booked on points for a reward stay -- as it is with every other hotel chain under the sun.

Can I still earn the free night certificates if I earn Miles instead of Points?
(Can't see anything clear in the T&Cs...?)
Edit: Now that I read it again, the phrase "at a qualifying rate eligible for earning points/miles/credits" seems to indicate I can...

And I notice you're BW Diamond. Be aware that the main benefit of BW Diamond is elite bonus points on stays. But only on points-earning stays. On miles/credits-earning stays, BW Diamond isn't worth much (maybe late checkout, tho that's true of every BW elite level, I think).

Is this going to be good for ANY BW in the US or is it going to be a ripoff like their promo last summer? I got the voucher last year and it was for I believe any hotel at 10K points. (Whatever their lowest level redemption hotel is). It wasn't even good for the dumpy BW at DTW airport. The hawthorne did tell me they would accept it if I wanted to use points in my account to make up the difference between what the voucher was good for and their redemption rate.
I didn't see anything in the fine print on that offer (or in this offer) and last year I made an additional stay at a best western property over a hilton for the voucher and it ended up being worthless to me.
