Best Western
Best Western has one promotion that has been extended to 2021. With it, you’ll get 2,000 bonus points per stay, which works out especially well if you’re booking shorter stays. TPG values Best Western Rewards at 0.6 cents each, making 2000 bonus points worth about $12. That certainly won’t get you a free night, but it could be helpful if you need to top up your account ahead of a redemption.

| Best Western Rewards 2,000 Points Promotion | Earn 2,000 points on your next stay. Check to see if you’re targeted for this offer here. | June 30, 2021 | Jan. 1 – June 30, 2021 |

Choice Privileges is running two promotions. With the first, you’ll get double points on stays — up to 30,000 total. With the second, you can earn bonus points on all-inclusive stays. Choice isn’t known for having the fanciest hotels, but you can get rooms at hotels in its portfolio for under 8,000 points a night. You could also use those points for a stay at a nicer property, such as the Cambria Hotel Philadelphia Downtown Center City (20,000 points per night).

Hilton Honors
Hilton’s running an unlimited points promotion wherein if you book and stay by May 2, 2021, you’ll earn 2,000 points for every stay. Additionally, you’ll earn 5,000 points for every five nights. If you think you’ll have a Hilton stay coming up and even if you don’t – it doesn’t hurt to register for this promotion. You’ll need to book via Hilton with a code for the 2X Points Package.

SPONSORED: With states reopening, enjoying a meal from a restaurant no longer just means curbside pickup.
And when you do spend on dining, you should use a credit card that will maximize your rewards and potentially even score special discounts. Thanks to temporary card bonuses and changes due to coronavirus, you may even be able to score a meal at your favorite restaurant for free.
These are the best credit cards for dining out, taking out, and ordering in to maximize every meal purchase.
