How payment works behind the scenes
When you pay with crypto on trip1, CoinGate converts your cryptocurrency to fiat and settles with the hotel. The hotel never sees crypto - they receive a standard payment. This means your Best Western reservation is identical to one booked with any other payment method. No special check-in process, no issues at the front desk.
Booking Best Western with crypto - FAQ
Its own. Best Western is not part of a bigger hotel group: it is a membership association, now called BWH Hotels, in which every hotel is owned and run independently and pays to use the name and booking system. BWH also runs WorldHotels and SureStay. In Britain the name is licensed to a separate members' cooperative, Best Western GB.
Not as a whole. Most Best Western hotels are midscale, and the name is best known on roadside and motorway hotels. The top end is Best Western Premier and the BW Premier Collection, with WorldHotels above that. trip1 lists Best Western properties from SureStay to Premier; availability depends on destination and dates.
Search for the hotel, the brand or your destination on trip1, pick your dates and room, and choose cryptocurrency at checkout. Scan the QR code or copy the wallet address and send the payment from your wallet. You get a confirmation email once the blockchain transaction settles, and you check in at the hotel as normal.
No. Best Western Rewards treats nights booked through online travel agencies as non-qualifying, so they earn no points and don't count towards elite status. What trip1 adds is the option to pay for the same hotel with Bitcoin, USDC or 120+ other cryptocurrencies.
No. CoinGate, trip1's MiCA-licensed crypto payment provider, converts your cryptocurrency to regular currency and the hotel is paid in its local currency. The hotel sees a standard payment, so your reservation and check-in are the same as with any other payment method.
