Best Western added an option to its website that allows you to use Best Western Travel Cards, also known asย Gift Cards, as a payment method online. It is a welcoming feature because it can be quite frustrating to try to use gift cards during check-in or check-out, as the front desk staff may not know how to process the payment.

Your Best Western Travel Card will become zero once you use it online to confirm a reservation.
