New “Recharge with Wyndham” initiative offers double Wyndham Rewards points and elevated status; Teams up with Hotels4Truckers for exclusive savings and verified trucker-friendly parking
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (March 27, 2025) – Truckers keep the world moving, and with that comes long hours and tiring days on the road. Recognizing their hard work, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has launched Recharge with Wyndham, a new initiative designed to help them make the most of their time away from the wheel.
Regulations require truckers in the United States and Canada, of which there are nearly 4 million, to get 34 or 36 hours of rest, respectively, to reset their weekly driving limits. When it’s time to rest, they need more than just a place to sleep—they need comfort, convenience and value. That’s where Recharge with Wyndham comes in. Through the initiative, truckers can earn double Wyndham Rewards points on every qualified stay—enough for up to two free nights annually —along with Wyndham Rewards Gold level membership, which unlocks perks like a preferred room, late checkout and more.
Best of all, with thousands of locations under trusted names like Days Inn® by Wyndham, Super 8® by Wyndham, La Quinta® by Wyndham and more, chances are, a Hotel by Wyndham isn’t far away.
“Truckers are an essential part of the workforce and we know their time is valuable, both on the road and off. With the launch of Recharge with Wyndham, we’re helping drivers put their safety and rest first while making it easier than ever to build up points toward their next free stay—whether that’s a weekend away with the family or an overnight pitstop as they ready for the journey ahead.”
Exclusive Perks Unlocked with Hotels4Truckers Complementing the launch of its newest initiative, Wyndham has also teamed up with Hotels4Truckers®, a leading travel site for truckers in the U.S. and Canada, to help drivers save big on their next stay. For a limited time, drivers who book through the Hotels4Truckers website or mobile app can save 15% off the best available rate on their next qualified stay. (Terms and conditions apply).
In addition to savings, Hotels4Truckers makes it easy to search and book over 2,000 Hotels by Wyndham that are confirmed to have trucker-friendly parking, accommodating tractor-trailers up to 75 feet long. Best of all, drivers can take advantage of their Recharge by Wyndham benefits when making bookings through the platform.
“After a long day on the road, it’s time to refuel more than just the truck. With Wyndham, Hotels4Truckers members canrecharge with a comfortable place to stay that doesn’t break the bank. Even better? With points, status, parking, easy bookings and more, theirstays go further, making life on the road easier and my time off more rewarding.”
– Dan Fuller, President and Founder, Hotels4Truckers
To take advantage of Recharge with Wyndham, drivers or their companies must first have a negotiated rate with Wyndham. Those without an account can apply for one by visiting WyndhamBusiness.com. Once complete, drivers can then register for Recharge with Wyndham and its benefits by visiting WyndhamRewards.com/Truckers. (Terms and conditions apply.)

Developed in collaboration with Galileo Financial Technologies, SoFi’s Technology Platform, new Mastercard offers elevated membership status, booking discounts and easy point earning on everyday spend
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (March 17, 2025)— Cash-savvy travelers now have a new way to earn Wyndham Rewards® points on their everyday spend thanks to the launch of the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card—a first of its kind offering from a major hospitality brand in the U.S.
Designed for younger travelers as well as those who prefer a debt-free lifestyle, the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card makes it easy to earn Wyndham Rewards points on day-to-day transactions, from gas and groceries, to dining, retail and more. Points can be redeemed for a wide-range of rewards—including free nights at more than 60,000 hotels, vacation club resorts and vacation rentals globally—while other cardholder perks include complimentary Wyndham Rewards Gold level membership, hotel booking discounts, a rich annual point bonus and more.
“Research continues to show a large number of travelers, particularly younger consumers such as Gen Z, prefer debit cards as their primary method of payment. Unfortunately, that means many have been left on the sidelines when it comes to earning free hotel nights and other travel rewards. With the Wyndham Rewards Debit Card, that’s no longer the case. Now anyone and everyone can earn points on their day-to-day purchases and in turn, enjoy meaningful rewards.”
A recent EY study from just last year found that nearly 70% of Gen Z consumers use their debit cards once or more per week. At the same time, research last summer from PMG shows travel as a key area of spend for Gen Z, 65% of whom intend to spend more on travel in 2025 and nearly 60% of whom consider loyalty programs essential when booking their travel.
Key benefits of the new Wyndham Rewards Debit Card include:
Easy Point Earning: Earn one Wyndham Rewards point per dollar spent on eligible Hotels by Wyndham, gas, and grocery purchases; and one Wyndham Rewards point per two dollars spent on all other qualifying purchases.1
Upgraded Status: Enjoy Wyndham Rewards GOLD level membership and unlock perks like accelerated points earning, preferred rooms, late checkout and more.5
Welcome Bonus: Kickstart your rewards journey with 2,500 Wyndham Rewards bonus points after opening your account, making at least two direct deposits and spending $100 in the first 90 days.2
Annual Bonus: Receive up to 7,500 bonus points each year on your card anniversary— enough for a free night at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham worldwide.3
Card Member Booking Discount: Save even more for stays at participating Hotels by Wyndham.6
Waived Monthly Fee: Pay only a $6 Monthly Fee, which is waived with a minimum average monthly account balance of $2,500.4
Waived ATM Fees: Pay no surcharges when using an ATM in the Cirrus network.7
The Wyndham Rewards Debit Card is powered by Galileo Financial Technologies, SoFi’s Technology Platform, and is issued by Sunrise Banks N.A. and backed by Mastercard as the payments network.
“People who use debit are often overlooked by traditional rewards programs, which is what makes this card—a first of its kind in the hospitality space—so special. What’s more, with the help of Galileo, Wyndham was able to stand its offering up in just a few months. That’s the power of our platform. By bringing together card issuing, processing, Cyberbank Digital and program management, brands can launch quickly and efficiently, delivering innovative financial products that strengthen customer relationships and drive revenue.”
“Brands are looking for payment products that enhance loyalty and deepen the relationship they have with consumers. The new Wyndham Rewards Debit Card unlocks access to rewards and benefits curated to enhance consumer value while enjoying their passion for travel.”
– Chiro Aikat, Co-President of the United States, Mastercard
The Wyndham Rewards Debit Card complements Wyndham’s existing suite of credit card offerings, including the Wyndham Rewards Earner® Plus Card, Wyndham Rewards Earner® Card and Wyndham Rewards Earner® Business Card. The award-winning suite of cards—designed specifically for road trippers and road warriors—offers up to 8x earn on gas purchases and Wyndham hotel stays, up to 5x earn on marketing, advertising and utility purchases (Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card only) and up to 4x earn on restaurant and grocery purchases.

World’s largest hotel franchisor positioned for long-term success following a year of global expansion, new brand openings and numerous owner and guest investments
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (January 28, 2025) – Following a banner year capping multiple milestones and accomplishments, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is poised for continued growth and innovation in 2025. Chief among its priorities: complementing its strong foundation of economy and midscale brands with new upscale and lifestyle brands, while scaling technology and digital capabilities to deliver best-in-class experiences for hotel owners and guests.
“We navigated an unforgettable year in 2024, remaining steadfast in our ability to deliver for guests, owners and shareholders. From welcoming our 25th brand and expanding into new markets, to broadening our bench of aspirational hotels and generating new owner revenue streams via the industry’s best tech platform – 2024’s successes have both Wyndham and our franchisees well positioned for the years ahead.”
– Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
According to a recent McKinsey study, travel spending reached its highest level last year since 1960—driven by consumers’ shifting preferences for experiences over material goods. And it’s a trend poised to continue. The U.S. Travel Association projects travel spend to grow ~4% to $1.35 trillion in 2025, while recent Skift Research suggests global travel spend to increase by 9%. At the same time, the International Air Transport Association unveiled last month it expects global air travel to reach a record-breaking 5.2 billion passengers in 2025—up ~7% from 2024.
Driving Growth With recognizable brands spanning every segment of the industry, Wyndham saw continued global growth in 2024, adding a new brand, expanding its presence in key markets and building on its footprint in key segments like extended-stay. Among the highlights, the Company:
Opened its first ECHO Suites® Extended Stay by Wyndham hotels, reinforcing its position as the industry’s fastest-growing all new-construction brand. Early locations are seeing daily occupancy rates as high as 80% within weeks of opening. ECHO now makes up 14% of the Company’s development pipeline.
Expanded its offerings in the booming extended-stay segment with new upscale offerings, including the launch of WaterWalk Extended StaySM by Wyndham, its 25th brand, and the introduction of Wyndham Residences® in the U.S., a new tier within its namesake Wyndham® brand.
Strengthened its portfolio in key countries where it holds a significant presence, including the U.K., India, Türkiye and Mexico, while introducing 12 of its brands into a combined 22 new markets. The Company also announced an exclusive agreement to introduce its Microtel® brand in India, targeting 40 open hotels by 2031.
Joined forces with international lifestyle hospitality group, sbe, to introduce HQ Hotels & ResidencesSM, a new “smart lifestyle” brand affiliated with Registry Collection Hotels®. Focused on dining, nightlife and wellness, the brand opens its first hotel in Antigua this quarter: Hodges Bay Resort and Spa, a HQ Luxury Resort and Residences.
Tooled for Success Delivering on its OwnerFirst® approach to franchising, Wyndham further leveraged its unmatched size and scale in 2024 to provide franchisees with robust tools, solutions and innovative technology, helping them capture more business. Among the highlights, the Company:
Introduced Wyndham ConnectSM, helping hotels increase revenue and curate personalized guest experiences via AI-generated messaging, upsells, mobile check-in and check-out, mobile tipping and more. Approximately 2,000 of the Company’s hotels in North America are regularly engaging with the tool and seeing significant incremental revenue as a result.
Refreshed its Wyndham Business platform, anchored by the new Wyndham Rewards® Business, a B2B extension of Wyndham’s top-rated rewards program. Designed to simplify travel for business of all sizes, the re-imagined program offers rich savings and rewards, streamlined billing, membership upgrades, easy point management and more.
Created new opportunities for its BOLD® by Wyndham and Women Own the RoomSM members—promoting industry mentorship via Accelerator Circle and unlocking third-party financing solutions via investment firm Lafayette Square. Together, BOLD and Women Own the Room have resulted in more than 100 deals with nearly 40 hotels now open.

Company Grows Development Pipeline by 7% and System Size by 4%
PARSIPPANY, N.J (July 24, 2024) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (NYSE: WH) today announced results for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Highlights include:
Global RevPAR grew 2% in constant currency.
System-wide rooms grew 4% year-over-year.
Opened over 18,000 rooms globally, including over 7,000 in the S., which represented a year- over-year increase of 16%, and the first ECHO Suites Extended Stay by Wyndham.
Awarded 180 development contracts globally, including 96 contracts in the S., which represented an increase of 33% year-over-year.
Development pipeline grew 1% sequentially and 7% year-over-year to a record 245,000 rooms.
Ancillary revenues increased 6% compared to second quarter 2023.
Diluted earnings per share increased 30%, to $1.07, and adjusted diluted EPS grew 22%, to $1.13, or 12% on a comparable basis.
Net income was $86 million for the second quarter, a 23% increase over the prior-year quarter; adjusted net income was $91 million, a 14% increase over the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 13% compared with the prior-year quarter, to $178 million, or 6% on a comparable basis.
Returned $162 million to shareholders through $131 million of share repurchases and quarterly cash dividends of $0.38 per share.
Successfully completed the repricing of its Term Loan B Facility, reducing its interest rate by 60 basis points to SOFR plus 1.75%, and upsizing the facility by $400 million.
“The resilience and highly cash generative nature of our business model was once again on full display this quarter,” said Geoff Ballotti, president and chief executive officer. “Amid a normalizing domestic RevPAR environment, we delivered strong adjusted EBITDA driven by net room and ancillary fee growth. We awarded 33% more hotel contracts domestically which grew our development pipeline to a record 245,000 rooms, and drove significant increases in our U.S, international and global royalty rates. Year-to-date, we’ve returned over $250 million to shareholders, representing 4% of our beginning market capitalization this year.”
System Size and Development
The Company’s global system grew 4%, reflecting 1% growth in the U.S. and 8% internationally. As expected, these increases included 3% growth in the higher RevPAR midscale and above segments in the U.S., as well as strong growth in the Company’s two highest international RevPAR regions, EMEA and Latin America, which grew 12% and 11%, respectively. The Company continued to improve its retention rate and remains solidly on track to achieve its net room growth outlook of 3 to 4% for the full year 2024.
On June 30, 2024, the Company’s global development pipeline consisted of approximately 2,000 hotels and 245,000 rooms, representing another record-high level and a 7% year-over-year increase. Key highlights include:
5% growth in the S. and 9% internationally
16th consecutive quarter of sequential pipeline growth
Approximately 70% of the pipeline is in the midscale and above segments, which grew 4% year-over- year
Approximately 14% of the pipeline represents ECHO Suites Extended Stay by
Approximately 58% of the pipeline is international
Approximately 79% of the pipeline is new construction, of which approximately 35% has broken ground
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company awarded 180 new contracts, including 96 contracts in the U.S., which represented an increase of 33% year-over-year.
RevPAR
Second quarter global RevPAR increased 2% in constant currency compared to 2023, reflecting flat growth in the U.S. and 7% growth internationally.
In the U.S., the Company’s midscale and above segments grew RevPAR 2% year-over-year while RevPAR for its economy segment declined 2%. Overall, U.S. RevPAR results were driven by growth of 90 basis points in occupancy, partially offset by a decline of 50 basis points in ADR. Importantly, RevPAR growth in the U.S. accelerated during the second quarter, improving 520 basis points sequentially, including an improvement of 560 basis points for its U.S. economy brands.
Compared to 2019, which neutralizes the impact of COVID recovery timing, the Company grew RevPAR for its economy and midscale brands by 9% and 8%, respectively, while RevPAR for its upscale and above brands continued to lag 2019 by 2%.
Internationally, RevPAR for the Company’s Latin America, EMEA and Canada regions collectively increased 15% due to both continued pricing power, with ADR up 13%, and occupancy growth of 2%. RevPAR for the Company’s APAC region declined 12% primarily due to a difficult year-over-year comparison resulting from that region’s COVID recovery timing in second quarter 2023. APAC occupancy declined 7% and ADR declined 5%.
Compared to 2019, which neutralizes the impact of COVID recovery timing, the Company more than doubled the RevPAR for its Latin America, EMEA and Canada regions, while RevPAR for its APAC region continued to lag 2019 by 11%.
Second Quarter Operating Results
Fee-related and other revenues were $366 million compared to $358 million in second quarter 2023, reflecting global net room growth of 4% and a 6% increase in ancillary revenue streams, partially offset by a $3 million decline in management fees, in part due to the exit of the Company’s S. management business.
The Company generated net income of $86 million compared to $70 million in second quarter The increase was primarily reflective of higher adjusted EBITDA, a benefit in connection with the reversal of a spin-off related matter and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher interest expense and restructuring costs.
Adjusted EBITDA grew 13% to $178 million compared to $158 million in second quarter 2023. This increase included a $10 million favorable impact from marketing fund variability, excluding which adjusted EBITDA grew 6% primarily reflecting higher fee-related and other revenues, disciplined cost management given the recent RevPAR environment as well as a benefit from insurance recoveries.
Diluted earnings per share was $1.07 compared to $0.82 in second quarter 2023. This increase reflects higher net income and the benefit of a lower share count due to share repurchase activity.
Adjusted diluted EPS grew 22% to $1.13 compared to $0.93 in second quarter 2023. This increase included $0.09 per share related to expected marketing fund variability (after estimated taxes). On a comparable basis, adjusted diluted EPS increased 12% year-over-year reflecting comparable adjusted EBITDA growth and the benefit of share repurchase activity partially offset by higher interest expense.
During second quarter 2024, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $5 million, in line with expectations; while in second quarter 2023, the Company’s marketing fund expenses exceeded revenues by $15 million, resulting in $10 million of marketing fund The Company continues to expect marketing fund revenues to equal expenses during full-year 2024.
Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reported periods appear in the tables to this press release.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity The Company generated $1 million of net cash provided by operating activities (inclusive of $42 million of payments related to the Company’s successful defense of a hostile takeover attempt) and generated adjusted free cash flow of $69 million in second quarter 2024. The Company ended the quarter with a cash balance of
$70 million and approximately $820 million in total liquidity.
The Company’s net debt leverage ratio was 3.5 times at June 30, 2024, the midpoint of the Company’s 3 to 4 times stated target range.
In May 2024, the Company successfully repriced and upsized its outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility (“Prior Term Loan B”). The new Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility (“New Term Loan B”) has an outstanding principal balance of $1.5 billion, which includes an upsize of $400 million. The facility has an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.75%, representing a 60 basis point reduction to the Prior Term Loan B.
Share Repurchases and Dividends During the second quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 1.8 million shares of its common stock for $131 million. Year-to-date through June 30, the Company repurchased approximately 2.6 million shares of its common stock for $188 million.
The Company paid common stock dividends of $31 million, or $0.38 per share, during the second quarter 2024 and $63 million, or $0.76 per share, year-to-date.
The reduction in RevPAR and fee-related and other revenues reflects a more moderated RevPAR acceleration than previously anticipated. The reduction in adjusted net income represents an increase in interest expense due to the upsizing of the Company’s term loan B. This impact was more than offset in adjusted diluted EPS by second quarter share repurchase activity.
Year-over-year growth rates for adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are not comparable due to full-year 2023 marketing fund revenues exceeding expenses by $9 million, which substantially completed the recovery of the $49 million support the Company provided to its owners during COVID. The Company continues to expect marketing fund revenues to equal expenses during full-year 2024 though seasonality of spend will affect the quarterly comparisons throughout the year.
More detailed projections are available in Table 8 of this press release. The Company is providing certain financial metrics only on a non-GAAP basis because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the occurrence or amount of all of the adjustments or other potential adjustments that may arise in the future during the forward-looking period, which can be dependent on future events that may not be reliably predicted. Based on past reported results, where one or more of these items have been applicable, such excluded items could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the reported results.
