You check six major hotel chains for a birthday perk, and none of their own binding loyalty terms actually promises one. A specific, detailed claim about Best Western’s birthday perk turns out to describe a completely different regional program, not the one available to US members.

No program, real cashback instead
Marriott: no birthday benefit in Bonvoy’s own terms. A genuine 7% Fluz cashback rate exists instead.
Hilton: no birthday benefit in Honors’ own terms. A real, if capped, 4% TopCashback rate exists for new Blue tier members.
Hyatt: no birthday benefit, confirmed in the exact sections of World of Hyatt’s terms that list every benefit by tier. Real cashback exists on TopCashback, up to 3%.
IHG: no standing birthday benefit; a circulating claim turned out to be an invite-only marketing promotion, not a program rule. A strong 12% TopCashback rate exists instead, one of the highest found in this project.
Best Western: no birthday benefit in the US program. A specific, detailed claim about birthday points and a cake belongs to Best Western Rewards Asia, a completely different regional program. A real 8% Fluz cashback rate exists instead.
Nothing at all
Choice Hotels: no birthday benefit in Choice Privileges’ complete rules, and no genuine cashback route on any partner either.
