They will award 30,000 bonus I Prefer points for stays of 2 or more nights that are booked with this offer. Those 30,000 points are enough to redeem for 1 night at their 30,000 point level hotels but they even have some 15,000 point hotels so you could earn two free nights for your stay of two nights. It is a tougher bonus for Canadians to achieve if you aren't traveling outside of Canada as none of their Canadian properties are part of the bonus offer.

PC Optimum members will receive up to an extra $150 in value for their points when they redeem them for online or in-store Shoppers Drug Mart purchases.

75% bonus when you buy Best Western Rewards points

 
For this Black Friday weekend Best Western is selling their points with a 75% bonus.

You can buy 1,750 points for US$10 all the way up to 35,000 points for $200. This means you are buying points for 0.57 cents each US$. That’s right around the average redemption value for the points so there is a possibility to pull value out them should you choose to buy some.
