The smallest Diners' Club transaction is 1250 of their points, which will get you 3300 BW points. Last time I checked, any friend/ relative/ colleague of yours who has a DC account can transfer into your BW. Check the DC forum to see if this is still true. If so, you can go to FT's own The Coupon Connection (if you have access) to find a co-operative FTer "friend."
Or rent a car, preferably from Avis or Budget:
https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/be...-partners.html
Or just buy 2000 points for US$20.

I'm not aware that you need status to buy points.

Thanks, I had seen this too. But can you tell me where the link is to actually make the purchase? I'm not finding that (FWIW, I don't have status with BW right now).

I believe Best Western is no longer a transfer partner with AMEX MR. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that ended a year or two ago.

It was a pretty lousy transfer rate (compared to Diners Club), so I'm not sure if there was an "announcement" in the Amex forum when it happened. It was just noticed after a while.
