Best Western® Hotels & Resorts Announces BW Baggage Bucks® Is Back
(PRWEB) July 17, 2017 -- Best Western Rewards® (BWR®) members can enjoy fun in the Nevada sun this summer when visiting the company’s newest BW Premier Collection properties – Stratosphere Hotel & Casino and Aquarius Casino Resort. BWR members are eligible to redeem their points for free nights at the landmark properties. In addition, BWR members will earn a $10 Best Western Travel Card® for each night booked now through September 4, 2017 and AAA®/CAA® members will receive a $20 Travel Card for each night. Travel Cards can be redeemed at participating Best Western properties around the world.
As an added bonus to celebrate Best Western’s expanding presence in Las Vegas and Laughlin, the company is bringing back its popular BW Baggage Bucks promotion for a limited time. From August 1 – September 30, 2017, BWR members will be given the opportunity to combat the stress of checked baggage fees and take back their ability to travel with baggage, without having to pay for it. BWR members booking a stay at any of the company’s properties in North America and traveling on a commercial flight during the promotional period will receive a $25 Travel Card per checked bag. Travelers must simply send proof of payment to baggagebucks(at)bestwestern.com. Up to two $25 Travel Cards can be earned during the promotion.
“It has been a really exciting few weeks for Best Western following the addition of Stratosphere and Aquarius to our Premier Collection, marking the largest deal in our 70-year history,” said Dorothy Dowling, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Best Western Hotels & Resorts. “We are thrilled that our more than 30 million BWR members can now stay at two of the most iconic Nevada properties and take advantage of our rich rewards promotions – including our innovative BW Baggage Bucks concept.”
