PARSIPPANY, N.J. (June 30, 2020) – Wyndham Rewards®, the world’s most generous rewards program, today announced it is relaxing requirements for earning Member Levels (status) in 2020, reducing the number of nights members need to stay by 40 percent.
The relaxed requirements build on earlier efforts by Wyndham to help its members amid COVID-19, such as extending the expiration of any previously earned Member Levels through the end of 2021 and pausing points expiration through September 30, 2020. They also complement Wyndham’s recently unveiled summer promotion, which offers members 2,000 Wyndham Rewards bonus points with every qualified stay, up to a maximum of 10,000 points over five stays.
“Throughout the pandemic, we’ve put our members first, providing flexibility while protecting their points and their benefits,” said Eliot Hamlisch, executive vice president, Loyalty and Revenue Optimization, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Now with travel picking up, and hotels adopting our new Count On Us health and safety protocols, we’re taking the additional step of easing requirements for our Member Levels. It’s one more way we’re letting members know, when they’re ready to travel, Wyndham is ready to welcome them.”
Reach New Levels with Fewer Stays Wyndham Rewards’ Member Levels are already among the most attainable in the industry and now, attaining new levels is even easier in 2020. Members will unlock Gold when they stay three qualifying nights, Platinum when they stay nine qualifying nights and Diamond when they stay 24 qualifying nights. Only stays in 2020 will count towards the new requirements, including those from earlier this year, which will be retroactively applied. Member Level benefits vary by level and range from perks like late check-out, preferred rooms and points accelerators to suite upgrades, welcome amenities and more.
Earn 2,000 Bonus Points with Every Stay Through July 27, 2020, Wyndham Rewards members can earn 2,000 bonus points on every qualified stay, up to a total of 10,000 points over five stays, when they register ahead of completion of their first stay at www.wyndhamrewards.com/bonus. Bonus points are in addition to any points normally earned with no minimum night requirements. Stays must be booked directly with Wyndham Rewards, which includes booking via the Wyndham Rewards website, mobile app, member services or onsite at any participating hotel, among other options. Stays must be completed by July 28, 2020.
Count On Ussm to Put Safety First Wyndham and its hotels, the overwhelming majority of which are open and welcoming travelers, are committed to the health and safety of guests and team members. Last month, the Company launched its Count on Us initiative, a new multi-faceted effort designed to further elevate health and safety protocols at all its hotels in the wake of COVID-19. Grounded in guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the initiative requires hotels in the U.S. to use hospital-grade, EPA-approved disinfectants in all public spaces and guestrooms. Guests can also expect the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by hotel staff, updated operational protocols to allow for easier social distancing and readily available, alcohol-based hand sanitizer in lobbies and guestrooms.

Partners with sleep expert Dr. Janet Kennedy to raise awareness while
offering up to 15% off to those pledging to #JourneySafe
PARSIPPANY, N.J., February 25, 2020 – Super 8® by Wyndham, the world’s largest economy hotel brand and trusted roadside companion, in collaboration with NYC sleep expert Dr. Janet Kennedy, PhD, today announced the return of its #JourneySafe campaign, seeking to raise awareness and educate the public around the dangers of drowsy driving. The highly prevalent, yet starkly underreported issue is linked to more than 100,000 crashes annually with 1,550 fatalities and 40,000 injuries in the United States each year.1
In support of the campaign, Super 8 is offering up to 15 percent off the Best Available Rate on a future stay to anyone who pledges to #JourneySafe at www.super8.com/journeysafe. What’s more, the brand is encouraging travelers to become advocates of their own, enabling them to share the dangers of drowsy driving with friends, family and loved ones via a host of downloadable resources including posters, infographics, talk points and more.
“As travelers’ companion on the road, Super 8 takes pride in always being there for road warriors who are ready to pull over and get some much needed sleep,” said Mike Mueller, Super 8 by Wyndham brand president. “Drowsy driving is completely preventable and it’s our hope that, through this campaign, we’ll help not only raise awareness, but encourage drivers to take action as soon as they notice the signs.”
Anchored by a PSA-style video where iconic dashboard accessories – like a hula girl and bobbing dog – come to life to alert drivers of the warning signs of drowsy driving, #JourneySafe sends a timely wakeup call ahead of National Sleep Awareness Month in March and Daylight Saving Time on March 8, when many people across the country will lose an hour of sleep. The video is part of a broader digital campaign spanning email, web, display, mobile, and social.
Added Dr. Janet Kennedy, “Sleep is critically important not only for your personal health and wellness, but for the safety of those around you. We have all likely been drowsy drivers at some point, and tried the classic caffeine, sugar and music to stay awake on the road – but those don’t work. Only sleep can truly overcome drowsiness.”
To learn more about Super 8 by Wyndham’s #JourneySafe campaign, or to take the pledge and become an advocate, visit www.super8.com/journeysafe. Promotional discount of up to 15 percent off the Best Available Rate is available through April 26, 2020. Full terms and conditions are available at www.super8.com.

Summer’s hottest gig returns with aspirations abroad, offers $10,000 payday plus travel
PARSIPPANY, N.J., May 6, 2019 ‒ It’s sun’s out, shades on and passport-in-hand for one thrill-seeker ready to seize the days with iconic hotel brand Days Inn® by Wyndham. Back by popular demand, the economy hospitality leader is once again offering the hottest gig of the summer but this time with a global flair: the Days Inn “Sunternship” program.
Now through May 24, 2019 at DaysInn.com/Suntern, Days Inn welcomes applicants 21 years and older with a passion for international travel, an eye for photography and a love of written storytelling to jet set overseas this summer as the brand’s “Suntern,” chronicling sunlit experiences in an official travel guide to be featured on the hotel’s website and social channels.
For many Americans, bucket-list trips like the Days Inn Sunternship are purely aspirational, especially when student loan debt is at an all-time high and can impede travel budgets. According to the U.S. Federal Reserve, there are more than 44 million borrowers who collectively owe $1.5 trillion in student loan debt in the U.S. alone. Days Inn is here to help. In addition to paid hotel and air accommodations, this year’s Suntern will receive a $150 daily travel stipend plus $10,000.
“We’re continually dreaming up ways to brighten guests’ stays at our hotels, fueling their days when they’re with us and their wanderlusts when they leave us,” said Patrick Breen, vice president, Brand Operations, Days Inn by Wyndham. “We believe everyone deserves a cultured, overseas experience – without deferring or prolonging student loans – and this mindset was the very inspiration behind this year’s global Sunternship program.”
While the 2018 Sunternship program focused on travel to some of the sunniest cities in the U.S., this year’s post lets the recipient hand-select their journey under the sun – think London, Rio de Janeiro, Montreal, and beyond – staying at some of Days Inn’s more than 1,700 locations along the way.
About the Role: This customizable, two week-long dream job entails journaling and snapping sunny photos throughout an international jaunt in destinations with Days Inn locations, such as the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America and Asia. What’s more, the selected Suntern will get major street cred. Photos and travel insight captured will be featured on the brand’s website, DaysInn.com, and its social media channels, in the form of a digital travel guide.
Responsibilities:
Travel to an international destination(s) for two weeks this summer.
Document your adventures in a travel journal and share your top things to do and see.
Capture as many sun-inspired photos as your camera roll can hold.
Qualifications:
A bright, creative, aspiring writer and photographer.
At least 21 years old.
S. resident with a valid passport.
Open to new experiences, has a passion for travel and enjoys exploring new cultures.
The ability to travel abroad for two consecutive weeks in August 2019.
The Perks:
$10,000 payday.
Paid hotel and economy air accommodations.
A $150 daily travel stipend, allowing you to explore your sunny destination(s) to the fullest.
Photos and journal excerpts featured on the brand’s website and social media channels.
Wyndham Rewards® Diamond membership.
A glowing recommendation from a Days Inn by Wyndham executive upon successful completion of the Sunternship.
How to Apply:
Visit DaysInn.com/Suntern by May 24, 2019 to submit an original sun-filled photo, as well as a 300-word entry describing your dream destination and why you belong there this summer. We’ll assess applicants’ photography and storytelling skills, and select the brightest person for the job.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (Oct. 1, 2018): Wyndham Grand is creating new VIP areas at its pools and restaurants with perks promoting quality time for guests at five of its hotels. The catch?
You can’t check your phone.
An expansion of its innovative Reconnected Family Experience, the unique hotel family program encouraging quality time over screen time, Wyndham Grand is now challenging guests to go phone-free at its pools and restaurants. Today through November 12, the brand will offer optional Phone-Free Zones for guests who wish to spend time unplugged. Guests who participate will have access to special perks, amenities and prizes, including the chance to win 75,000 Wyndham Rewards Points – enough for a future five-night vacation.*
Wyndham Grand is collaborating with Yondr – which creates phone-free spaces using a unique locking phone case – to free guests from the temptation of checking their screens during family time, empowering them to enjoy their vacations. Wyndham Grand is the first hotel brand to partner with Yondr creating physical tech-free spaces within its hotels.
“Before the pull of technology, we would never dream of wasting time on our phones instead of jumping straight into the pool and soaking up every minute of our vacation,” said Lisa Checchio, Chief Marketing Officer for Wyndham. “But today, adults and kids are so glued to their devices that we’ve had to add more pool chairs to accommodate all the poolside swiping. With these Phone-Free Zones, we’re creating new unplugged oases and tech-free tables that challenge families to consciously put the phone away for an afternoon – or just a meal – and make memories simply being together.”
Personal devices are impacting the way today’s families travel, with 53% of people never unplugging or reducing their phone usage on a trip. The average American looks at their screen once every 12 minutes on vacation. Wyndham Grand hotels have seen the effect, witnessing guests toting more than 12 devices per family on a trip – which impacts hotels’ Wi-Fi needs, lobby traffic patterns and pool operations, including added supply of pool chairs.
Power Down, Please
To opt in to a Phone-Free Zone, guests can check in with an attendant at the pool or restaurant, or ask any Wyndham Grand team member about going phone-free. The process is simple:
Guests can visit the Phone-Free Zone and check in with a Wyndham Grand team member at the pool or restaurant to receive a Yondr case.
A Wyndham Grand team member will help the guest insert their phone in the Yondr case, which will remain locked while the guest is in the Phone-Free Zone. The phone will remain in the guest’s possession at all times while the case is locked.
When ready to access their phone again, guests can simply visit the nearest unlocking station, and with a simple tap, unlock their Yondr case.
Guests who participate will receive access to the space, which includes special perks – think exclusive pool floats and off-menu treats – along with a copy of The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions and a chance to win 75,000 Wyndham Rewards points which they can later redeem for a vacation.*
Phone-Free Zones are available from October 1, 2018 through November 12, 2018 at the following Wyndham Grand hotels offering the Reconnected Family Experience: Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort in Orlando, Fla.; Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach Resort in Clearwater, Fla.; Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront in Chicago, Ill.; The Mills House, a Wyndham Grand Hotel in Charleston, S.C.; and Hotel Galvez & Spa, a Wyndham Grand Hotel in Galveston, Texas.
The Reconnected Revolution
Wyndham Grand is bringing quality time back to family vacations with Reconnected, a Wyndham Grand Family Experience, a unique family program addressing the dire need for quality time over screen time. While most family travel programs separate parents and kids, Reconnected enables imaginative play time together. Be it building the ultimate blanket fort, creating shadow-puppets or taking a literary adventure with The Nocturnals: The Mysterious Abductions by Tracey Hecht, this new offering reminds families to slow down and enjoy time together, without the distraction of a screen.

Custom-created umbrella innovation shields from vacation rain while beaming happiness-inducing rays
Days Inn by Wyndham Forecasting Bright Skies All Summer Long Thanks to “Days InnBrella”
Custom-created umbrella innovation shields from vacation rain while beaming happiness-inducing rays
Parsippany, N.J. (June 12, 2018) – April showers may bring May flowers, but across much of the U.S. June stakes claim as the rainiest month of the year, bringing unwelcome gloom at the start of the popular summer travel season. Days Inn® by Wyndham won’t stand for it: the iconic economy hotel brand is protecting summer trips from ill-timed drizzle with its exclusive Days InnBrella, a first-of-its-kind umbrella that blocks rainfall while simultaneously emitting lit-from-within LED beams to brighten even the dreariest days.
This custom-created portable beam of happy is an overcast day’s worst enemy, thanks to light therapy-like illumination radiating from the inside. Rain stays out and sunshine stays in, making for brighter days no matter where your travels take you.
“Each day has so much to offer and at Days Inn we believe nothing—not even gloomy weather—should ruin a hard-earned vacation,” said Patrick Breen, senior vice president, brand operations for Days Inn by Wyndham. “A little travel confidence, like the promise of sun-inspired rays at your fingertips, can go a long way in helping travelers seize every day and max out their travel fun. With Days InnBrella, if it rains, it can still shine.”
At its nearly 1,500 hotels across the country, Days Inn’s warm hospitality helps make guests’ days brighter and emboldens travelers to take advantage of every possible moment, and the Days InnBrella helps do just that. This “Inn-ovation” is the first-ever umbrella to emulate the principles of LED light therapy, which research shows can help boost energy levels and improve mood. Each generates more than 4,000 LUX, giving guests boosts of energy and perking up gray days through uplifting illumination.
Beginning today, guests at Days Inn hotels in some of America’s rainiest cities can power up the Days InnBrella during their stays when the weather tries to dampen summer fun:
The brand is also giving away a limited number to travelers on its Twitter handle (@DaysInn) now through June 26, 2018. For more information and full terms and conditions, visit www.daysinn.com/innbrella.
