Wyndham Rewards® has unveiled Wyndham Rewards Insider℠, a first-of-its-kind travel and entertainment subscription from a major hotel loyalty program, designed to deliver premium-style benefits that can pay for themselves in as little as one trip.
“The world of travel rewards is changing. People today want more than just points, they want breadth, flexibility and value they can feel across every aspect of their journey. Historically, such benefits were reserved only for the travel elite, off-limits to those without high-fee, premium credit cards. Wyndham Rewards Insider flips that script, putting the power back in the hands of everyday travelers, all for less than the cost of a night out,” Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
The new Insider subscription builds on Wyndham Rewards’ award-winning foundation, known for its generous point-earning potential and easy free-night redemptions, by adding exclusive savings, partner perks, and entertainment access across nearly every aspect of travel.
Backed by a strong partner network, including a new collaboration with Ticketmaster, Wyndham Rewards Insider provides members with:
Hotels by Wyndham
- Savings of 10 per cent or more off standard rates on qualified stays at over 8,000 hotels.
- Automatic upgrade to Wyndham Rewards GOLD level membership.
- Larger points accelerator (earn 50 per cent more points) for Gold, Platinum and Diamond members.
Savings on Flights, Cruises, Car Rentals and More
- Up to 5 per cent on domestic flights.
- Up to 15 per cent on international flights.
- Up to 30 per cent on cruises.
- 10 per cent or more on car rentals.
- Up to 15 per cent on tours and activities.
- Up to 15 per cent on car transfers and limo services.
Entertainment and Lifestyle
- Earn and redeem with Ticketmaster across 50,000+ concerts and live events.
- Exclusive ticket savings at top theme parks and aquariums, including Walt Disney World® Resort, SeaWorld® Orlando, LEGOLAND® California Resort and more.
- White-glove concierge services with access to sought-after concerts and VIP experiences.
In addition, as a Wyndham Rewards Insider, members earn Wyndham Rewards points on nearly everything booked through the platform, while also collecting partner rewards on flights, car rentals and cruises. Hotel stays, tours and activities all earn 10 Wyndham Rewards points per dollar spent, while most other qualified spend earns 1 point per dollar spent, with no cap on earnings. Qualified Ticketmaster purchases earn 2 points per dollar spent, up to 50,000 points annually.
“Bringing Ticketmaster into Wyndham Rewards is a game-changer, turning points into the most unforgettable live experiences across music, sports, theater and more. Add in all the discounts and extra points, not to mention the exclusive perks across other categories and partners, and the value of Insider becomes undeniable. Whether you travel two nights a year or two hundred, we designed it to be the easiest travel decision you make all year,” Mike Shiwdin, GVP, Loyalty and Guest Engagement, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
To celebrate the debut of Wyndham Rewards Insider, new members who sign up between now and the end of the year will receive their first 14 months for the price of 12, plus a 7,500-point bonus, enough for a free night at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham. Add that to the average annual savings across hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises and more and the subscription easily pays for itself year after year.
For example, a family of four booking a five-night all-inclusive stay next month at Wyndham Alltra Samana with round-trip airfare, private transfers and a full-day excursion can save over $850 if booked as a Wyndham Rewards Insider. But the savings don’t stop there; even smaller trips add up. A couple booking a three-night trip to Orlando in January, including a stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista, round-trip airfare, rental car and 3-day park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World® Resor,t can save more than $580.
Members earn a minimum of 1,000 points with every qualified stay, while three simple free night redemption tiers, starting at just 7,500 points per night, help ensure rewards aren’t only easy to earn, but easy to use.
The program offers the fastest path to elevated status, kicking in after just five nights of stays, and continues to add new partners and features. Earlier this year, the program introduced Wyndham Rewards Experiences, a new experiential platform powered by some of the world’s most iconic sports and entertainment brands such as Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Caesars Rewards. Through Wyndham Rewards Experiences members can turn their points into extraordinary moments, like VIP access to the sold-out Vans Warped Tour.
