Best Western Rewards has added another way for members to earn their way to elite status. Now, members can earn based on the points they earn, not just by how many nights they stay. Gold Elite can be obtained with 10 nights or 10,000 points, Platinum Elite with 15 nights or 15,000 points and Diamond Elite with 30 nights or 30,000 points. Elite status is based on a calendar year’s activity.

The new points system to gain elite status applies to residents of the U.S., Canada, Caribbean, Asia, South America, Central America, the Middle East and South Africa only
