As travelers consider summer stays, Wyndham launches new ad campaign with promotion inspiring future trips, reminding travelers: chances are, you’re only 10 minutes from a hotel by Wyndham
PARSIPPANY, N.J. (July 23, 2020) – Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel franchising company with 9,300 hotels across approximately 90 countries, is inspiring travelers to book their next trip with its ‘Stay Two Nights, Earn a Free Night’ promotion, offering Wyndham Rewards members a free night – in the form of 7,500 bonus Wyndham Rewards points – when they stay two consecutive nights or more, now through September 10, 2020. The promotion is featured in Wyndham’s latest advertising campaign, reminding travelers that no matter what they’re checking out this summer, a hotel they can count on is about ten minutes away.
Guests who are members of the free-to-join Wyndham Rewards program can book a stay of two consecutive nights or more at www.WyndhamRewards.com/freenight to earn a one-time 7,500 points bonus – enough for a free night at thousands of hotels – upon the completion of their stay. Stays must be booked directly with Wyndham Rewards from July 16 through September 8, 2020 and completed by September 10, 2020. The 7,500 bonus points are additional to any points normally earned for the stay.
“With everyday travelers out there traveling, and vacationers gearing up for road trips this summer and fall, Wyndham is reminding every kind of traveler that our hotels are open, ready to welcome them, and within reach,” said Sheila Schottland, vice president of Brand Marketing at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “This promotion, along with our latest ad campaign, offers travelers a chance to consider where their next stay will take them – whether it is a quick car trip to reconnect with their family or a longer vacation to get away from it all – and makes it that much more rewarding with enough Wyndham Rewards bonus points for a free night stay towards future trips.”
Summer travel “intenders” – those who are considering a drive-to summer trip in the coming weeks – can also find the offer promoted in a new advertising campaign. Focused on engaging everyday travelers at the moment they’re looking to book a hotel stay, the campaign builds upon the Company’s previous “10 Minutes from a Hotel by Wyndham” spot. It reminds travelers that with over 6,000 hotels in the U.S., whatever it is they’re checking out in their travels, they can confidently check-in to a hotel by Wyndham. It is currently running across digital channels focused on targeting travelers who are looking to get back out on the road, supported through television, digital video, streaming radio, social media, email, direct response channels, and various website channels.
As the travel landscape evolves in the wake of COVID-19, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and its brands are committed to the health and safety of guests and team members.

Widely recognized as one of the PGA TOUR’s most fan-friendly tournaments, this year’s Wyndham Championship—which kicks-off today and runs through Aug. 4, 2019—invites fans to escape the everyday and join Wyndham Rewards and its portfolio of global brands for a “trip around the world,” all while helping give back to local charities throughout the Piedmont Triad. The final stop of the regular season, this year’s tournament brings an added layer of drama to Sedgefield as many of the world’s best golfers look to earn their spot in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10, a new $10 million bonus to be split among the PGA TOUR’s top 10 regular-season finishers.
“From new ways to earn and redeem points to the addition of more than 900 La Quinta by Wyndham hotels, we’ve spent the last year working to make Wyndham Rewards more rewarding for members than ever before,” said Eliot Hamlisch, leader of Wyndham Rewards. “It’s a fitting parallel to the Wyndham Championship. From a host of new fan-centric experiences to the added excitement surrounding the first-ever Wyndham Rewards Top 10, this year’s tournament promises to be fans’ most rewarding yet.”
Travel the World with Wyndham Rewards Take a bite of the Big Apple. Feel the white sands of Clearwater Beach. Revel in the awe-inspiring views of the Andaman Sea in Phuket. More than just championship golf, the Wyndham Championship is an escape from the everyday, and this year, fans and their families can see the world as they tour the course and experience 10 amazing Wyndham Rewards destinations from around the globe.
The first 100 fans to visit all 10 destinations each day, collecting commemorative pins along the way, will unlock unforgettable rewards, including passes to the Club Wyndham Beach viewing platform, Wyndham Rewards points, ticket upgrades and unlimited pedicab rides. Fans can win even more prizes when they share their photos from each destination on their favorite social platforms tagging @WyndhamRewards and @WyndhamChamp using #WyndhamRewardsTop10.
Other fan-favorite experiences will include, among others, live action sand sculpture, photo ops with the #6 Wyndham Rewards NASCAR Ford Fusion, Margaritaville at the Wyndham and “Key to Wyn,” where one swipe of a key card could unlock the door to any of thousands of prizes, from flat-screen TVs and appliances, to free nights at Wyndham Rewards destinations around the globe.
Wyndham Rewards Top 10
Introduced for the first time this season alongside a simplified, strokes-based scoring system for regular season play, the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 offers $10 million to be split among the top-10 finishers in the final regular season FedExCup point standings. While the first through third positions were decided last week in Memphis with Brooks Koepka taking the $2 Million top prize, nine golfers enter the Wyndham Championship with a chance to either move up or into the Wyndham Rewards Top 10. Paul Casey enters the Wyndham Championship in eighth place in the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 and could move to fourth with a Wyndham Championship win increasing his season-ending bonus from $600,000 to $1.1 Million. The other eight golfers would move into the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 with a Wyndham Championship victory.
Added Hamlisch, “The introduction of the Wyndham Rewards Top 10 made for a thrilling regular season, all of which culminates here at Sedgefield at the Wyndham Championship. We congratulate Brooks Koepka, Rory McIlroy and Matt Kuchar for taking the top-three spots last weekend and look forward to watching the rest of the story unfold this week at the Wyndham Championship.”

La Quinta by Wyndham and revered entrepreneur Robert Herjavec uncover what makes today’s business traveler tick with newly commissioned survey
PARSIPPANY, N.J.(May 2, 2019) — What does it take for today’s business traveler to make the most of their time on the road and experience triumphant trips? La Quinta by Wyndham — a trusted hotel brand among career commuters for more than 50 years — along with esteemed entrepreneur and investor on the hit television series Shark Tank, Robert Herjavec, today unveiled the behaviors, quirks and realities business travelers face with the brand’s first-ever “La Quinta Means Business” national survey.
In its new survey, La Quinta sheds light on burning business travel questions, including how many travelers actually unpack their suitcases, the latest they’ve stayed up preparing for meetings, the alarming number of people who have stocked up at the hotel breakfast bar for later and, yet, the number of business travelers who experienced loud, embarrassing stomach grumbles during a meeting. La Quinta is using these insights to help guests succeed while on the road with the signature amenities they need, including free high-speed Wi-Fi, free breakfast, 24/7 coffee and tea, signature comfortable bedding, modern fitness centers, spacious in-room work areas with charging stations and social gathering spaces.
“La Quinta is a longtime champion of business travelers, and hearing directly from this group allows us to better understand what motivates them and makes them tick so we can support them in the ways they need it most,” says Lisa Checchio, chief marketing officer of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Business trips are opportunities for travelers to triumph in their careers — and we want to be there every step of the way. Not only do our hotels help these guests prepare with amenities like free Wi-Fi, breakfast and a great night’s sleep, but they also offer the expanded opportunity to earn and accumulate valuable loyalty points for their hard work and redeem them for sought-after perks like free nights through our award-winning Wyndham Rewards program.”
Few understand how to succeed in business, in life and on the road quite like Robert Herjavec. Traveling more than 100 days a year and spending nearly 300 hours in the air annually, Herjavec is the definition of a road warrior with unique insight on the idiosyncrasies of business travel.
“I’m constantly traveling for business, so it’s important that every facet of my travel experience, especially my hotel, helps me make the most of my most valuable resource: time,” says Herjavec. “I’m thrilled to work with La Quinta by Wyndham, a brand that understands the unique challenges business travelers face and offers the essentials we need to succeed.”
SURVEY SAYS: ALL IN A DAY’S WORK
La Quinta’s survey tapped into business travelers’ mindsets, how they maximize their hotel stays, how they amp up for a big day and more:
Home away from home
The bare necessities: Sixty-four percent of business travelers think it would be harder to go without high-speed Wi-Fi than clean underwear on a business trip
A type A traveler: Forty percent of business travelers unpack their suitcases and put things in the closet
or dresser
Rest assured: Forty-three percent of business travelers married or in a relationship prefer to sleep in a hotel bed they have all to themselves the night before a big meeting
Road fuel
But first, coffee: Thirty-four percent of business travelers say drinking coffee or tea is one of the most important ways to prepare for work while traveling
Deep pockets: Nearly four in five (79%) business travelers have stocked up on food from the hotel breakfast bar to eat later in the day
Hungry for success:More than a third (35%) of business travelers have had their stomachs grumble during a meeting or presentation
The hangover: More than 1/4 of male business travelers (28%) have been hungover during a meeting or presentation while on a business trip compared to 14% of female business travelers
Points & priorities
Paw-ssociates: Thirty percent of business travelers think that finding care for their pet(s) is among the biggest hassles to deal with when preparing to travel for business, while 23% think that finding care for their child(ren) is among the biggest hassles.
Happy birthday to me: Eighty-one percent of business travelers say they’ve missed a special event, such as birthdays or holidays, due to business travel
Loyal as the day is long: The majority of business travelers (59%) say they’d never stay in a hotel when traveling for work where they could not earn rewards points
The inaugural “La Quinta Means Business” survey comes on the heels of the brand’s first integrated marketing campaign since it was acquired by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts in May 2018 and joined the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program. The new campaign, “Tomorrow You Triumph,” captures business travelers’ unique experiences, mindsets and challenges, highlighting La Quinta’s key business amenities that help deliver what guests need to prepare, relax and succeed while traveling. The first national television spot, “Screensaver,” began airing in early April and hones in on the benefits Wyndham Rewards loyalty members can reap just by staying with La Quinta.
For more information, visit www.lq.com. The “La Quinta Means Business” survey was conducted by Wakefield Research between March 13 and March 19, 2019, using an email invitation and on online survey among 1,000 U.S. business travelers ages 35–54, defined as those traveling for business 10-plus times per year.
