Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Upgrades Wyndham Rewards Program with Exclusive Access to Popular Music Festivals, Concerts, and Entertainment Events
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (hereinafter referred to as 'Wyndham') announced that its award-winning Wyndham Rewards program is further enhancing member experiences by reaching multiple collaborations covering new experiences in dining and entertainment, among other aspects. This upgrade of member benefits includes the industry's first partnership with Dine Brands Global's well-known dining brand Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar®, as well as the launch of the new 'Wyndham Rewards Experiences' platform. 'Wyndham Rewards Experiences' integrates resources from globally renowned brands such as Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Minor League Baseball, and Caesars Rewards, offering members a series of exclusive event experiences.
The upgrade will roll out multiple exclusive benefits in phases: Wyndham Rewards members worldwide can first enjoy new dining perks in the United States, as well as exclusive access to popular music festivals, concerts, and major events, including sold-out stops of Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, California, and Washington, D.C., the Country Jam music festival in Grand Junction, Colorado, and the Beyond Wonderland electronic music festival in Chicago.
"We are committed to making Wyndham Rewards the world’s leading hotel loyalty program. To this end, we continuously explore deep collaborations with quality partners to constantly enrich and expand member benefits. We not only provide members with more valuable opportunities to participate in world-class events and create unique experiences, but also extend the points reward mechanism to members' everyday dining scenarios, allowing members to easily earn points while enjoying delicious food. Through these initiatives, we hope every member can enjoy exclusive privileges at every touchpoint of travel accommodation and daily consumption."

Vice President of Loyalty Program and Partnerships at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts
Redeem Extraordinary Experiences with Points
The new 'Wyndham Rewards Experiences' platform is now live. Members can redeem various entertainment event experiences through dynamic auctions and fixed points. Event auction starting prices range from 20,000 to 100,000 points, while fixed-price redemption starts as low as 2,500 points. Selected experiences are updated weekly, and members can freely participate in multiple auction sessions with no limit, with points deducted only upon winning.
As part of the initial launch, the platform will progressively offer tickets to over 150 various sports events, concerts, and more, including:
• Vans Warped Tour sold-out show in Washington, D.C.: VIP package for two with exclusive backstage access, a $100 dining voucher, and premium music festival merchandise.
• New York Rangers home game special experience: includes driving the ice resurfacer at Madison Square Garden and two tickets to a regular season game.
• Two tickets to the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall in New York – including a face-to-face interaction with the legendary Rockettes, coinciding with the iconic dance troupe’s centennial anniversary tour season.
• A rare opportunity to play in the same group as PGA TOUR professionals at the DeJoy/Wos Family Foundation Pro-Am at Sedgefield Country Club, plus two additional tickets to the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina.
• Minor League Baseball two-person game package: watch the San Jose Giants vs. Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, with a chance to throw the ceremonial first pitch.
In addition to redeeming great experiences, Wyndham Rewards members will also enjoy new dining perks – the industry's first partnership with the globally renowned casual dining chain Applebee’s. Starting in the second half of this year, members staying at any Wyndham hotel and ordering takeout via the Wyndham official app from any of more than 1,500 Applebee’s locations nationwide can earn Wyndham Rewards points and also enjoy free delivery.
