This week, Best Western launched a new feature that allows Best Western Rewards members to gift free award nights to immediate family members, including a spouse, partner, children, parents, parents-in-law, and siblings.

Best Western Rewards members must issue the award by selecting the appropriate number of points, and the reservation must be made by phone, according to the information on the BW website. It appears to work like directly giving a relative an award certificate for a free night.

We previously also shared how to book hotel stays for someone else using hotel free night certificates or points. I’ve added this to that post as well.
