The booking must be made via www.bestwestern.com for a standard rate or a best rate.

If a lower Internet rate is found, Best Western will honor the competing rate (under the terms and conditions) and provide a 10% discount for each night of the reservation. If, in the meantime, the lower rate has become available in the Best Western system this rate will be applied and the 10% discount will not apply.
In order to receive the lower rate and discount, the guest must have a confirmed reservation from the Best Western website with a Best Western system confirmation number.
The competing rate on another web site must be for the same hotel, dates, room type, number of guests, currency, payment requirements and must be publicly viewable and bookable via the Internet at the time the claim is reviewed by a Customer Service Specialist. A viewable rate means that the general public can view the rate on the web site. A bookable rate means that the rate is available and can be reserved online.
If the reservation is made within 48 hours of arrival, the guarantee will not apply.
The guest does not have to book a room on the competing website. They only need to prove the validity of the claim based on the terms of the policy.
