Using your gift card

Yes. You can apply multiple Best Western gift cards to one reservation and combine a card with another payment method if the card does not cover the full amount.

At more than 4,000 BWH Hotels properties in over 100 countries, spanning Best Western, Best Western Plus, Best Western Premier, SureStay, Vib, GLo, Aiden, Sadie, and other BWH brands. The card can be applied when booking online at bestwestern.com, by phone, or at the front desk. How to use your Best Western card

Best Western gift cards carry no value until activated at purchase. E-gift cards bought through Dyme are activated immediately. If you receive a physical card that appears inactivated, call 1-877-CARD-2TVL (1-877-227-3288) for assistance.

Through Dyme, e-gift presets run from $25 to $500, with common amounts of $25, $50, $75, $100, $150, and $200. Best Western's own gift card site offers a range of denominations as well.

Balance, reloads & expiry
