Wyndham Rewards and credit card triumph again in USA Today awards

Wyndham Rewards® – ‘the world’s most generous rewards programme’ – has once again been recognised as the top hotel loyalty scheme by USA Today readers, while the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card has been named the best hotel credit card.

This achievement marks the seventh consecutive year that Wyndham Rewards has topped the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards for hotel loyalty programmes and the sixth consecutive year its credit card has won the same accolade. The awards are determined by a panel of industry experts, with winners chosen through daily votes cast by USA Today readers.

The recognition from USA Today is just the latest in a series of accolades for Wyndham Rewards, which was recently named the best hotel rewards programme by U.S. News & World Report and the most valuable rewards programme by NerdWallet.

These honours complement an impressive year for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, which has also been recognised as one of Newsweek’s Most Loved Workplaces, one of Ethisphere’s Most Ethical Companies, and one of Fair360’s Top 50 Companies for Workplace Fairness.

Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, stated,

Simple and generous—that’s what Wyndham Rewards is all about. Day-in, and day-out, no other hotel rewards programme gives their members more for their money or offers more places to redeem. From seaside escapes to buzzing urban cities, wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, Wyndham is there to welcome you. Congratulations to our team members, to our franchisees and to our partners—without your hard work and continued dedication, these accolades simply wouldn’t be possible.

Wyndham Rewards boasts approximately 110 million enrolled members globally and remains the only hotel loyalty programme where members earn a guaranteed 1,000 points with every qualified stay.

These points can be redeemed for free nights at over 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts, and vacation rentals worldwide, or exchanged for a variety of rewards, including tours, activities, gift cards, and shopping.

The programme offers three simple redemption tiers, with free nights starting at just 7,500 points per room per night and discounted nights starting at 1,500 points per room per night.

To enhance the value for members, Wyndham Rewards offers a suite of credit cards, including the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card, Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card and the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card, which is designed specifically for small businesses. These cards provide enhanced rewards, such as up to 8x points on gas purchases and Wyndham hotel stays, up to 5x points on marketing, advertising, and utility purchases (for business cardholders), and up to 4x points on restaurant and grocery purchases.

Paul Baker, Sales Director of Global Travel Management, commented on the recognition, saying,

For UK-based business travellers, the benefits of a top-tier loyalty programme like Wyndham Rewards cannot be overstated. Whether travelling for business in the UK or abroad, our clients can now enjoy greater flexibility, more value, and the reassurance of being rewarded generously for every stay.
