Thanksgiving and the Christmas travel season are coming up, and Best Western has launched an online sweepstakes where you can spin a big wheel on the website to win prizes. The prizes are generous, and the odds are very high—about 73% per spin—so it is definitely worth trying. The game lasts for a month (a total of 4 spins), so you should be able to win a number of things.

Conclusion

Most hotel sweepstakes have very low odds of winning, but because the prizes are valuable, I have generally not been very interested in participating. However, this Best Western sweepstakes has a very high chance of winning. Although the prize value is not as high as last year’s IHG draw, there is still something to be won. On my first spin, I only won the lowest-value frequent-guest status upgrade. Hope everyone is lucky! Since there are many holidays over the next couple of weeks, we recommend using Google Calendar or the calendar on your phone to create reminder events so you can register for the extra bonus spin on Thursday and spin on Friday, so you don’t forget after a couple of weeks.
