What is your Best Western redemption worth?

Pointy is a free Chrome extension that adds a cents-per-point value badge to each hotel in Best Western Rewards’s award search, right on bestwestern.com, so you can tell a great redemption from a poor one before you book.

A real Best Western search

We ran this search on bestwestern.com. Prices and award charts change, so your search will differ, which is why Pointy works it out live, on the page.

Using Pointy on Best Western

  1. Search with points

    Go to bestwestern.com, turn on the points, miles or award option and search as usual. Pointy reads the points price and the cash price already on the page. There’s nothing to type.

    Best Western shows cash and award prices in separate views. Load both, in either order, and Pointy pairs them up. The bar at the top of the page tells you which view it still needs.

  2. Read the badge

    Each result with both a cash and a points price gets a badge with its value in cents per point: the cash price ÷ the points price × 100. Higher is better. The label compares each value with your own Best Western searches once you have 30 saved results there.

  3. Handles all the special fees

    Hover over a badge to see how it was worked out.

    • Currency: other currencies are converted to US dollars at a daily rate.
    • Taxes: Pointy uses the price with taxes included wherever the site shows one.
    • Resort and destination fees: taken off the cash price, because you pay them either way.
    • Multi-night stays: values compare the whole stay’s cash price with its points.

Know the value before you book.
