Hotel Loyalty Points

“I wish to go to the World Series.” “I wish to go to Hawaii and see the dancers in the grass skirts.” “I wish to go see gymnastics at the Olympics.” These are just a few of the wishes the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® has granted to children with life-threatening medical conditions, and each year, thousands of wish kids choose to travel to a special place. With the help of generous supporters, children’s wish destinations can be as limitless as their imaginations.

Other Loyalty Programs

Currently, the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® only accepts hotel loyalty points through programs listed above. However, chapters are able to use transferable vouchers on a case-by-case basis. To find out more about voucher donations, contact your local chapter by entering your zip code in the “find your local chapter” at the top right of the every web page.

Gift Acknowledgment

The Make-A-Wish Foundation currently receives donor information for acknowledgment from Best Western International. For other contributions, please check your program statement to verify that your request for contribution has been processed. Processing may take 30 to 60 days.

Tax Deductibility

The IRS recognizes award points as a gift or an award from the corporation to the individual. Therefore points donated to charity are not considered tax-deductible.
