Well Connected Travel

Each pre-paid card establishes an “account” that you can access on the internet.

The BW Travel Card provides you with a fixed rate that is easy to calculate, enabling you to make a large saving on your accommodation whilst travelling or touring in Australia, Europe and North America.

Well Connected Travel can easily integrate the BW card into a package with other land, sea and air travel arrangements.

Businesses can provide incentives to staff which are easy to monitor and Corporate Travel Cards can be issued with pre-defined (limited) travel budgets.

Gift Travel Cards can be issued to both individuals for special occasions (such as birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas presents) and for businesses (to reward loyal customers and employees).

The Travel Card is simple to use and just requires you make a reservations with the selected hotel advising you will be paying with the Pre- Paid Travel card.

A formal invoice will be sent to you via email or post, as soon as we receive your instructions and your Travel Card will be issued immediately upon receipt of monies. As the card is similar to a plastic (magnetically encoded) credit card, it will be dispatched to your postal address with a receipt. You will be able to access the card on the internet using your card number and the name of the client If you wish, you can add more funds to the card whilst you are travelling.

Travel Cards carry no expiration date. Loaded amounts are valid indefinitely.

In addition to Australia, the card can also be used in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific.

AUSTRALIAN pre-paid cards

Best Western properties in Australia are rated in UNITS. The unit value is based on the standard of the property, location, amenities and other benefits that the hotel / motel has to offer.

Australian participating Best Western properties are rated between 3 and 5 units for each room per night. Each unit is priced on a pre-paid discounted amount of AUD$34.00 and the card is sold in multiples of the designated unit value. In addition, promotional specials become available from time to time.

The UNIT system is similar to but not the same as a "star rating".

In the Australian Accommodation Directory, you will find a "small square colour code:" located next to each participating properties product description – ie: next to the designation H (hotel), MI (Motor Inn) or A (Apartments/Suites).

WORLDWIDE pre-paid cards

Travel Card accounts can be loaded with any number of room nights or any desired value.

• That means you can store your funds in the form of UNITS (equating to a very specific "hotel rating") that can be applied towards room nights and taxes
• or in the form of CURRENCY that can be used to pay for room charges
• and incidentals like restaurant and telephone charges.

Each designated hotel unit is worth AUD34.00 (EUR21)

• If the property of your choice is rated at 4 units, the nightly cost for two persons sharing a double or share twin room would be AUD136.00 or on a per person basis AUD68.00. Normal European and UK rates are substantially higher.
• Please note that "Winter", "Low season" or "Special" promotions make the Travel Card even more affordable – in some cases reducing the nightly rate to only one third (1/3 or 33.33%) of the normal tariff.
