Updated Best Western Corporate Rate Code List for November 2016

What's the Best Western Corporate Rate Code List?

Best Western is one of many big travel brands that negotiates a discount for a corporation's employees. If a company has a large footprint in the hotel area then the discount is likely to be bigger and the reverse is also true. If you're a corporate traveler, you can frequently benefit from cheaper stays at Best Western propertiesby booking your stay in advance online usinga particular code. These rates are generally stated as strictly only for corporate use by employees, whomay well need relevant ID when checking in.

We recently published a list of Best Western corporate codesand compared those rates with booking on Best Western without a corporate code. Some codes only work with certain properties and on particular dates, so we wanted to try anothertest booking to see what kind of discount you can get elsewhere.

How do I use the Best Western Corporate Rate Code List?

You can easily add the code to your online reservation from the homepage. Just click on the box thatsays'Rates', select 'Corporate' and then enter your code in the box:



For our tests, we chose one night at Country Suites Indianapolison February 15th,2017, which comes out at $79 plus taxes and fees for the Flexible Rate. For some reason the site wouldn't show the Best Western Rewards member rate for any bookings even when logged in, but at a regular 10% off, this would be $71.10 before taxes and fees:

What else do I need to know about the Best Western Corporate Rate Code List?

Interestingly, the results with this test were pretty much the same as last time. The only discount we foundwaswith the same corporate codes as last time, which was exactly 10% off the member rate. One code gave us the same rate as members get, just like last time, and the same other codes didn't work at all.

It's always useful to compare the corporate rate you're using with other rates on the Best Western website, so you can see exactly how much of a discount you're getting and don't assume that a corporate code is defunct if it doesn't work for your booking; with this hotel brand it depends on several factors, so your YMMV depending on the property, dates and availability. If your travel plans are flexible, try another search with your company's corporate code.

Keep in mindthat Best Western can bevigilant about codes being abused, so if you try to check in without proof that you are entitled to use a corporate code, you could lose your place to stay or end up having to pay the rack rate instead!
