The maximum is $29 back and you must spend at least $100.
Upon looking at my Chase statement, the purchase transaction shows Best Western Hotels & Resort which makes the transaction qualifies for the Chase Offer, and since the transaction is also classified as Travel, I also earned 3 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on top of that as the offer was available on my Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card.

Best Western properties are not quite as aspiring as other hotel chains such as Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, etc. however, there are some values to have with Best Western. Last year, they had a promotion that members can redeem a free night’s stay at any Best Western-branded property in North America for only 10,000 points. So using it at a nice Best Western properties in North America was a good deal as those properties can cost much more than 10,000 points.
It is important to know that if you want to purchase points during that kind of points stay promotion, Best Western system is set up in a way that it recognizes that the promotion is going on and thus won’t allow you to purchase points during that time.
