Summary:
- Wyndham launched $95 travel subscription with Gold status and rewards.
- Travel booked on WyndhamRewardsInsider.com qualifies for benefits.
- It builds on Wyndham Rewards, which offers free nights from 7,500 points.
WYNDHAM HOTELS & RESORTS launched Wyndham Rewards Insider, a travel and entertainment subscription that provides automatic Gold status, discounted rates and bonus points for $95 a year. Bookings of hotels on WyndhamRewardsInsider.com qualify for benefits.
Perks include discounts up to 30 percent on cruises, 15 percent on international flights, 10 percent on hotel stays at more than 8,000 properties and access to tickets and experiences through Ticketmaster, Wyndham said in a statement. Members earn Wyndham Rewards points on most bookings, with 10 points per dollar on hotels, tours and activities, plus additional points through partner programs.
“The world of travel rewards is changing,” said Scott Strickland, Wyndham’s chief commercial officer. “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.”
Wyndham Rewards Insider builds on the Wyndham Rewards program, which offers three free-night redemption tiers starting at 7,500 points and status after five nights, the statement said. New subscribers who sign up before the end of the year will receive 14 months for the price of 12 and a 7,500-point bonus, redeemable for free nights at Wyndham hotels.
Mike Shiwdin, Wyndham’s group vice president of loyalty and guest engagement, said that bringing Ticketmaster into Wyndham Rewards turns points into 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,” he said.
Wyndham also cited examples where families could save more than $850 on a five-night stay and couples more than $580 on a three-night Orlando trip when booked through the program.
Wyndham recently launched “Dine Out with Wyndham Rewards,” allowing members to earn up to 5 points per dollar on dine-in and takeout at more than 20,000 U.S. restaurants.
