Best Western Rewards drops Avios, effective immediately
Back in March Best Western had disappeared from the Avios hotel partners page on ba.com but that it was still on the Best Western site as an option.
No longer. Members whose accounts were set up to earn Avios instead of Best Western Rewards points were emailed yesterday to say that the partnership is over. Anyone who was set up to earn Avios will now earn Best Western Rewards points instead.
The chain does remain a Virgin Points partner. Details are on the Virgin Atlantic website – you earn a flat 500 Virgin Points per stay.
You may want to go into your Best Western online account and change your preference from Best Western Rewards points (which is what you have now been opted into) to Virgin Points.
