Wyndham Rewards has once again been named the best hotel loyalty program in the USA Today 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, and that its Wyndham Rewards® Visa® Card has been named the best travel and hotel co-branded credit card.
This marks the third consecutive year that Wyndham Rewards has received the highest honor in the hotel loyalty program category and the second consecutive year that its co-branded credit card has taken the top spot. Nominations are sourced by a panel of travel industry experts, including editors from USA Today and 10best.com, and winners are chosen based on daily voting from USA Today readers over a four-week period.
"In a year unlike any other, we're incredibly thankful for the continued support of our millions of members, who today make up nearly half of all guests at our U.S. hotels and more than a third of our guests globally," says Eliot Hamlisch, executive vice president, loyalty and revenue optimization, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "Our members are at the core of everything we do and are immensely valuable not just to Wyndham but to our thousands of franchisees. On average, members stay more, stay longer, and spend more than non-members. To earn this honor three years in a row speaks volumes about their dedication to Wyndham's brands and to Wyndham Rewards."
This year's rankings come on the heels of Wyndham's newly announced and updated credit card suite featuring the Wyndham Rewards Earner Card, the Wyndham Rewards Earner Plus Card and the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card, the first Wyndham credit card created specifically for small businesses. All three cards amplify rewards earned on the road, as well as everyday purchases, with 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. Interested members can learn more, including how to earn up to 45,000 bonus points, at www.wyndhamrewardscreditcard.com.
"The Wyndham Rewards program offers our members an incredible array of ways to earn points, from hotel stays, to our new credit cards, to a diverse set of program partners across gas, shopping, tours, meal kit delivery and more,” Hamlisch says. “Combine that with a simple redemption structure and generous rewards and you've got a loyalty program that was built from the ground up for the everyday traveler."
