Wyndham Rewards Loyalty Program Makes Summer Four Times More Rewarding

Summer is four times sweeter thanks to the Wyndham Rewards® hotel loyalty program which is offering travelers a chance to earn four times the rewards points when they book two or more stays online at participating Wyndham Hotel Group properties.

Vacationers and day-trippers alike will be able to redeem those extra points for free hotel nights, dining and shopping gift cards, brand name merchandise from trusted retailers, or tickets to popular shows, concerts or sporting events.

Now through September 13, 2012, Wyndham Rewards members in the U.S., Canada and Mexico can register for the promotion online at www.WyndhamRewards.com/sweet. They must then book their stays at www.WyndhamRewards.com, www.WyndhamHotelGroup.com or at any of Wyndham Hotel Group’s 14 brand sites including Wyndham® Hotels and Resorts, Ramada®, and Super 8®, to name a few. Members can book up to five stays during the promotional period and will receive bonus points starting with the second qualifying stay.

Members who choose to earn airline miles can also enjoy earning four times the rewards with any of Wyndham Rewards’ nearly 20 airline partners worldwide.

“Travelers are looking for great deals to stretch their summer vacation dollars, so we wanted to sweeten their travel experience when they booked and stayed with us,” said Robin Korman, senior vice president of Loyalty Marketing and Strategic Partnerships. “It’s not often that you see an offer this exciting that gives customers a chance to quadruple their points after only two stays and has so many options to redeem for things they really want.”

Wyndham Rewards membership is required. Enrollment is free at http://www.WyndhamRewards.com.
