PARSIPPANY, N.J. (February 21, 2024) – The stars have aligned for thrill-seekers and solar eclipse enthusiasts. Days Inn® by Wyndham, the iconic economy hotel brand known for making days brighter, is seeking two adventurous BFFs to take on 2024’s hottest gig: the Solar Sun-ternship. One ‘sun and moon’ duo will embark on an unforgettable journey to witness the 2024 total solar eclipse from a private helicopter experience, giving an unparalleled vantage point of the path of totality. The twist? Capture their experience with photo and video content to share with Days Inn guests on social media. Best of all, the coveted job comes with a $5,000 payday for each Sun-tern.
“Since 2018, our Sun-ternship program has helped travel-obsessed photographers Seize the Days® with once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities. This year, we’re elevating the job to new heights, giving not just one but two Sun-terns a front-row seat to capture and share the magic of the eclipse.”
– John Henderson, President, Days Inn by Wyndham
The Sun, Moon, and Days Inn Winding its way across 200-miles, traversing five North American time zones like a celestial ribbon, the path of totality – the area where the solar eclipse is most visible – crosses through major cities like San Antonio, Little Rock, Cleveland, and Montreal. A rare celestial spectacle, the April 8 event is a once in a generation occurrence, with the next total eclipse not anticipated until 2044.
While only two lucky individuals will claim the role of Sun-terns, between one and four million Americans are estimated to travel for the Eclipse. Thankfully, Days Inn and its sister-brands across the Wyndham family offer a combined 1,200+ hotels with unrivaled viewing spots across North America—meaning anyone who wants a chance to witness the cosmic marvel, has the chance to do so. A list of top viewing locations is available at www.wyndhamhotels.com/eclipse.
How to Get the Gig Days Inn invites all photo-obsessed BFFs to apply for the role. In addition to scoring $5,000 each for their work, the Sun-terns will receive a professional photography class, hotel accommodation, travel stipend, Wyndham Rewards® Diamond membership and of course, plenty of Days Inn swag.

America’s trusted roadside brand embarks on an epic eight-city road trip while
helping some of its most loyal guests—truck drivers—get road ready for the journey ahead
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (August 8, 2023) – The open road never looked so good. Super 8® by Wyndham, the economy hotel brand known for being travelers’ trusted companion on the road, today kicked-off a year-long celebration for its upcoming 50th anniversary with a pop-up salon in the brand’s home state of South Dakota. Nearly 50 years young and sporting a more than $140 million brand refresh, the activation is the start of an epic eight-city road trip across the Midwest as Super 8 looks to help some of its most rugged and loyal guests—truck drivers—get a fresh new look for the journey ahead.
“We’ve come a long way since opening our doors in 1974, and while we’ll soon turn 50, our hotels, many of which have undergone head-to-toe room renovations these last several years, certainly don’t look or feel it,” said Mike Mueller, president, Super 8 by Wyndham. “Inspired by our own modern makeover, now we want to help our guests look and feel as good as we do, and we’re starting with some of our favorite, most rugged road warriors out there—the heroes of our highways—truckers.”
Helping highway long haulers find their new look is entrepreneur and hairstylist to the stars, Kim Kimble, who is also known for her recent work on HBO’s hit series Euphoria. A third-generation hair stylist, Kimble started her career as a shampoo girl at her family’s salon in Los Angeles before rising up the ranks as a trailblazer in the beauty industry.
“I love transforming people to feel their best. When I can help someone gain confidence or a little extra pep in their step, it’s like I’m making the world a little brighter, said Kimble. “We all know truckers work ferociously day in and day out to keep America moving and for that, they deserve to be lifted up and celebrated. That’s why I’m so excited to team up with Super 8 on this initiative, doling out fresh new looks for some of its best guests.”
Hitting the Road in Style Since first opening its doors in Aberdeen, S.D. in 1974, Super 8 has served as a home-away from home for millions, especially truckers, who spend an average of 300 days a year on the road. Following today’s event, the brand is taking its pop-up salon on the road—hitting seven additional Super 8 hotels over the next seven days, where it will work with local stylists to serve up fresh, new looks for hotel staff, guests and the public. Consults, cuts and styles will be available on a first come, first serve basis from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily with the first hour at each stop reserved exclusively for hotel staff and guests. More details on the events can be found at www.super8.com/makeover. Stops include:
A Modern Stay for Modern Travelers With more than 1,400 convenient locations across the U.S., Super 8 by Wyndham makes it easy for travelers to answer the call of the open road—all while staying in style and comfort. Gone are the days of grandma’s floral bedspreads and in their place, fully redesigned rooms with updated bedding and curtains, a refreshed color palette, sleek finishings, modern amenities and signature black and white photo headboards. Each headboard is hyper-localized, and emits a contemporary, postcard-feel while depicting iconic landmarks and landscapes specific to each hotel.
Guests can get up to 15% off the Best Available Rate at participating Super 8 hotels when they book and pay for their stay at least seven days in advance.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. – (May 16, 2023) – A great compliment is like a ray of sunshine—it brightens your day.

Adored for his signature style and best known for his wit and charm as co-host of The Drew Barrymore Show, as well as judge and producer of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Mathews teamed up with Days Inn to deliver undeniably funny, morale-boosting messages sure to make anyone smile. From praising guests for just how much they light up the room to admiring their signature style, each pre-recorded message is designed to ready guests to head out and Seize the Days®.
“Making people smile is engrained in my DNA, which is why this project is such a perfect fit,” said Mathews. “Everyone deserves to feel their best, no matter who they are or where they’re going, and I can’t think of a better solution than having your own hotel room equipped with a personal cheerleader. It’s the perfect morning pick-me-up as travelers head out to seize the day.”
The mirror, available at select Days Inn hotels across the U.S. and Canada, is the second iteration of the sunny hotel brand’s line of “complimentary” amenities. Last summer, Days Inn introduced what it coined “the world’s nicest pillow” – a pillow that dished out cheeky compliments, helping guests start their day with a smile.
“At Days Inn, we are in the business of making days brighter and we know this mirror will bring guests an extra dose of sunshine,” said John Henderson, president and brand leader, Days Inn by Wyndham. “Whether it’s getting guests excited before a beach day or fun at the theme park, our complimentary mirror complements the friendly service and amenities guests already count on – like a great night’s sleep, complimentary light breakfast, free Wi-Fi, fitness center or swimming pool.”

U.S. guests to be randomly surprised with one of 99 limited-edition ‘Reconnected’ Travel Keepsake Boxes;
one lucky person will win a 10-night stay at the Wyndham Grand hotel of their choice
PARSIPPANY, N.J. – (December 6, 2021) The holidays are officially here. As travelers once again look to reconnect and enjoy the company of loved ones, Wyndham Grand® is getting into the spirit of the season—randomly surprising and delighting guests at its U.S. hotels with its first-ever ‘Reconnected’ Travel Keepsake Box.
Curated in partnership with TV personality and mom of three, Catherine Lowe, and the family memento specialists at Savor, the Wyndham Grand Reconnected Keepsake Box helps families reconnect and experience the forgotten joys of tech-free travel, all while providing a family keepsake they can cherish forever.
“At Wyndham Grand, we’re on a mission to help families disconnect from the demands of technology, work and day-to-day life so that they can truly vacation and enjoy their time together,” said Carolina Matias-Perez, senior director of Brand Marketing for Wyndham Grand. “In an age of selfies and constant social sharing, it can be hard to be present. Our Reconnected Travel Keepsake Boxes are a reminder to live in the moment and cherish the memories we make with our families.”
Featuring a timeless design that blends soft fabrics and upscale finishes, each Reconnected Keepsake Box includes, among other items, a Fujifilm Instax® Mini 11 with film—allowing the recipient to ditch their camera phone, complete with its hundreds of forgotten shots—and a letter from Lowe sharing tips and tricks she uses with her own kids to create tech-free family fun. Other features include an array of compartments, drawers, dividers, as well as custom travel labels, helping make each box the ultimate organizer to capture and preserve travel memories.
“Family photos are one of the few irreplaceable items you can own. They’re invaluable, sentimental, and help us preserve memories and tell stories for future generations,” said Lowe. “In working with Wyndham Grand, I’m sharing ways to create special moments with your own family that are snapshot-worthy and sure to inspire future conversations that start with ‘remember when.’”
On the heels of one of the most isolated years in recent history, upcoming holiday travel provides a much-needed opportunity for families to reunite and make up for lost time. Now more than ever, families are cognizant of the value of making memories and sharing time in-person together. While phones and computers keep us connected, research shows that disconnecting from these devices is more beneficial for our health and relationships.[1]
Wyndham Grand hotels will start randomly gifting a limited supply of Reconnected Travel Keepsake Boxes to those staying at its U.S. hotels beginning the week of December 6, 2021 and continuing through December 31, 2021, while supplies last. To be eligible, guests must have made their reservation prior to December 6, 2021. Boxes are not available upon request and gifting is at the discretion of each hotel’s management team while supplies are available. Wyndham Grand will give away a total of 99 boxes across all participating hotels. Each box carries an approximate retail value of $130.
Complementing the surprise and delight activities at its hotels, Wyndham Grand is also giving those at home a chance win their own keepsake box, plus a 10-night stay at the Wyndham Grand hotel of their choice (provided in the form of Wyndham Rewards points), when they enter the brand’s Wyndham Grand Reconnected Sweepstakes. To enter, travelers age 21 and over should send an email to [email protected] with a brief write-up describing how they would use the hotel stay to reconnect with family, along with a pledge to make time to disconnect from their digital devices this holiday season. No purchase is necessary to enter and the approximate retail value of the prize is $4,030. All entries must be received no later than 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2021. For eligibility and other information, visit www.wyndhamgrand.com/reconnected.
Holiday deal seekers looking to make the most of their travels in the months ahead can earn 3x Wyndham Rewards points at Wyndham Grand and other select properties when they book by December 31, 2021. Guests must stay a minimum of three nights and complete their stay by February 28, 2022. Stays are cancellable, free of penalty, up to 72-hours before check-in.

Nominate your pup to become Baymont’s pet-friendly ambassador and receive paw-some perks plus $2,500
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (April 6, 2021) – Calling all pups! In celebration of National Pet Day on April 11, Baymont® by Wyndham, the midscale hotel brand known for its “hometown hospitality” and over 500 locations across North America, is launching a nationwide search for its first-ever “Baymont Buddy of the Year.”
One lucky, well-trained, camera-ready pup will become the brand’s newest ambassador, landing a starring role in an upcoming pet-friendly digital marketing campaign while the pup’s “parent(s)” receive some paw-some travel perks, including a weekend getaway for two and paycheck for $2,500.
Baymont’s search for its Buddy of the Year comes amid a surge of dog adoptions, sales and fostering in 2020, with a recent poll by Rover, the nation’s largest network of five-star pet sitters and dog walkers, noting that nearly half pet parents had recently acquired a new dog during the pandemic.
“So many travelers are eager to get back on the road this year, including lots of first-time dog owners,” said David Unger, brand leader and vice president of Operations, Baymont by Wyndham. “For some, the idea of traveling with a new pet can be a bit daunting – but with Baymont, it doesn’t have it be. Our Baymont Buddy of the Year will help us deliver that message and show travelers that, with hundreds of pet-friendly hotels, Baymont is ready to welcome the whole family. After all, that’s what hometown hospitality is all about.”
One lucky pup will be chosen to serve as the furry-faced ambassador of Baymont and its pet-friendly offerings, participating in a professional photo shoot later this year and serving as the star of an upcoming digital marketing campaign. Meanwhile, the proud pup’s parent(s) will receive a free weekend getaway for two, Wyndham Rewards Diamond level membership, and a paycheck for $2,500. Wyndham Rewards Diamond level membership includes perks like free WiFi, early check-in, late checkout, suite upgrades, rental car upgrades and more.
Think your fur baby has what it takes to be the Baymont Buddy of the Year? Proud pet parents can submit their most paw-some photos at www.baymontinns.com/buddy. Along with the photo submission, applicants must share a brief description (250 words or less) about why their pup is the ideal candidate to be the brand’s first-ever ambassador. Preference will be given to pups who have been formally trained, with a track record of being able to play to the camera. Submissions will be accepted up until 11:59 PM ET on May 4, 2021. The winning candidate will be selected on or about June 1, 2021.
Baymont hotels are committed to making it easy for pet owners to travel—with or without their pet. The established Baymont Welcome Buddy program onsite at Baymont hotels provides a water bowl and dog treats upon arrival, so travel companions have everything they need to settle in for a great stay. Complementing the brand’s on-site offerings, in January, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts teamed up with Rover, the nation’s largest network of five-star pet sitters and dog walkers, offering U.S. guests $30 off their first Rover pet service when they book a qualified stay at any Hotel by Wyndham, including Baymont. Must be a new Rover customer to receive the discount. Learn more at www.wyndhamhotels.com/rover.

Offers a $5,000 pay day plus travel expenses for one hard-working, vacation-ready American
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (March 16, 2021) – Dust off that suitcase and draft a clever out of office reply, because Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with more than 8,900 hotels across nearly 95 countries, is on a mission to give one lucky American the best job ever.
Now through April 6, 2021, Wyndham is taking nominations for “Operation Out of Office” (Operation OOO), a new initiative seeking to recognize one hard-working, extra-deserving, “pack my bags because I’m ready to go” American with two weeks of vacation and a paycheck for $5,000. The catch? In exchange for the payday, the chosen nominee will be asked to share their travels on their favorite social media networks, providing inspiration for other vacation-ready travelers.
The initiative comes following reports from the United States Travel Association (USTA) that American workers left an average of 33% of their paid time off (PTO) on the table last year[i], despite working even longer hours.[ii] As the lines continue to blur between work and life, Wyndham is looking to restore a little bit of balance for one overworked traveler and up to three companions of their choice—even if that means paying to make it happen. Well-known Wyndham brands include, La Quinta® by Wyndham, Days Inn® by Wyndham, Super 8® by Wyndham, Ramada® by Wyndham and Wyndham Grand®, among others. With more than 6,000 hotels across the U.S., chances are there’s a Hotel by Wyndham just 10 minutes away.
“Every year, millions of Americans leave PTO on the table as they immerse themselves in work, family and the hustle of daily life,” said Lisa Checchio, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Operation OOO is about recognizing those Americans and making the point that now, more than ever, we all need to carve out time to relax, recharge and get away. If it takes us paying someone to help get that message across, then that’s money well spent!”
Those looking to nominate a deserving friend, family member, co-worker—or even themselves—as part of Operation OOO can do so by submitting a short essay of up to 100 words. Submissions should offer a window into the life of the nominee and why they are deserving of a getaway. To submit a nomination, or to view terms and conditions, visit www.wyndhamhotels.com/outofoffice.
Following the submission deadline on April 6, 2021, one lucky nominee will be chosen to receive 14 nights at the Wyndham hotel (or hotels) of their choosing along with a $250 per day travel stipend and a complimentary upgrade to Wyndham Rewards® Diamond membership. (Hotel nights will be provided in the form of 420,000 Wyndham Rewards points, enough for 14 nights at any participating Wyndham Rewards hotel.) Upon booking travel, the nominee will also receive a paycheck for $5,000, equating to a payday of $2,500 for each week of travel. What’s more, travel dates are flexible (just stay by December 31, 2021) and can be divided across multiple trips.
Added Checchio, “Some jobs are hard. This isn’t one of them. If you want to get paid to sit on the beach for two weeks, go for it. Always dreamed of seeing the sights along Route 66? Have at it. Looking to check Yellowstone off your bucket list? Do it. This is about experiencing the joy that can only come from travel and knowing that wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, Wyndham will be there to welcome you.”
As the travel landscape evolves amid COVID-19, Wyndham and its brands remain committed to the health and safety of guests and team members. The vast majority of hotels are open and welcoming guests with flexible booking policies and enhanced health and safety protocols through Wyndham’s Count on Us® initiative. Guests can also take advantage of mobile check-in and checkout at more than 6,000 hotels thanks to the Company’s all new mobile app, available for both iOS and Android. Wyndham has extended current Wyndham Rewards member benefits through the end of 2021 and paused points expiration through June 30, 2021. Learn more at www.wyndhamhotels.com/COVID-19.
