Wyndham Rewards®, the globally recognized loyalty program, has again proven its value to travelers by being named the top hotel rewards program by USA Today readers for the seventh consecutive year. This accolade solidifies its position as the world’s most generous rewards program, covering more than 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts, and vacation rentals across the globe. Adding to the program’s impressive resume, the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card was also crowned the top hotel credit card for the sixth year in a row.
The Power of Recognition and Voter Confidence
The awards, determined by daily voting from USA Today readers, reflect widespread appreciation and recognition from travelers who rely on the benefits offered by Wyndham Rewards. Industry experts compile the list of nominees, but it’s the votes of satisfied travelers that ultimately decide the winners. This recognition further cements Wyndham Rewards’ status as a leader in the loyalty program space, with similar accolades from U.S. News & World Report and NerdWallet, which praised the program’s value and member benefits.
This year has been particularly rewarding for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the parent company of Wyndham Rewards, which has garnered several other honors, including being named 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.
Why Wyndham Rewards Stands Out
Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, attributes the program’s success to its simplicity and generosity. “Simple and generous—that’s what Wyndham Rewards is all about. Day-in, and day-out, no other hotel rewards program 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 welcomes you. Congratulations to our team members, our franchisees, and our partners—without your hard work and continued dedication, these accolades simply wouldn’t be possible,” said Strickland.
With around 110 million members worldwide, Wyndham Rewards is the only hotel loyalty program guaranteeing members 1,000 points with every qualified stay. Given that Wyndham Rewards accounts for about half of all U.S. hotel check-ins, it’s easy for members to accumulate points and redeem them for free nights at thousands of properties worldwide.
The program offers three straightforward redemption tiers, starting at just 7,500 points per night for a free room, making it one of the most accessible and rewarding loyalty programs available.
A Suite of Credit Cards to Maximize Rewards
In addition to the base benefits of Wyndham Rewards, the program’s suite of credit cards—including the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card, Earner Plus Card, and Earner Business Card—offers members an even greater ability to earn rewards. These cards amplify the benefits members receive by offering up to 8x points on gas purchases and Wyndham stays, up to 5x points on marketing, advertising, and utility purchases (Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card), and up to 4x points on dining and grocery purchases.
These offerings are particularly attractive to frequent travelers and hospitality professionals who seek to maximize their returns on everyday and business expenses. For more information about these credit cards, visit Wyndham Rewards Credit Card.
