You need to present an official identification card or work orders at time of check-in.
Gold status for Military Personnel
Best Western has gone a step further and offers a complimentary Gold Status as well for members of the military and armed forces.
In fact, there is a separate Best Western Service Rewards Program for them.
This is a lifetime status. Normally, you would need to stay 10 or more nights in a calendar year to achieve Gold status with Best Western Rewards.
If you already have elite status with some other hotel, you can try to status match with Best Western Rewards as well.
