Insights

Loyalty and Revenue Strategy Expert

Wyndham launched a paid travel subscription offering broad partner discounts and status for $95 annually.

The program bundles hotel discounts (over 10% at 8,000+ hotels), automatic Gold status, a 50% points accelerator for higher tiers, and partner savings on flights, cruises and car rentals. It adds Ticketmaster inventory and experiential perks while requiring bookings through WyndhamRewardsInsider.com and auto-renewing at the stated price.

Dependencies and risks include member take-up, booking channel restriction, and realization of partner discounts at scale; the press release cites concrete example savings of $850 on a five-night family trip and $580 for a three-night Orlando trip based on rates shopped on October 15, 2025. Watch initial subscription uptake, churn after the first renewal, and whether partner discounts persist across peak dates over the next 6–12 months.

"The world of travel rewards is changing. People today want more than just points—they want breadth, flexibility and value they can feel across every aspect of their journey. Historically, such benefits were reserved only for the travel elite, off-limits to those without high-fee, premium credit cards. Wyndham Rewards Insider flips that script, putting the power back in the hands of everyday travelers—all for less than the cost of a night out."

- Scott Strickland, Chief Commercial Officer, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts

A Subscription that Pays for Itself
To celebrate the debut of Wyndham Rewards Insider, new members who sign up between now and the end of the year will receive their first 14 months for the price of 12, plus a 7,500-point bonus—enough for a free night at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham. Add that to the average annual savings across hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises and more and the subscription easily pays for itself year after year.

For example, a family of four booking a five-night all-inclusive stay next month at Wyndham Alltra Samana—with roundtrip airfare, private transfers and a full-day excursion—can save over $850 if booked as a Wyndham Rewards Insider.¹ But the savings don't stop there, even smaller trips add up. A couple booking a three-night trip to Orlando in January—including a stay at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista, roundtrip airfare, rental car and 3-day park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World® Resort—can save more than $580.²

The Most Generous Hotel Rewards Program
Consistently celebrated for both its simplicity and generosity, Wyndham Rewards continues to stand out in a crowded loyalty landscape by keeping things refreshingly straightforward. Members earn a minimum 1,000 points with every qualified stay, while three simple free night redemption tiers, starting at just 7,500 points per night, help ensure rewards aren't only easy to earn, but easy to use.

What's more, the program offers the fastest path to elevated status, kicking in after just five nights of stays, and continues to add new partners and features. Earlier this year, the program introduced Wyndham Rewards Experiences, a new experiential platform powered by some of the world's most iconic sports and entertainment brands such as Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall and Caesars Rewards. Through Wyndham Rewards Experiences members can turn their points into extraordinary moments, like VIP access to the sold-out Vans Warped Tour.

Subscription auto-renews annually and may be easily cancelled via the Wyndham Rewards Insider website or by calling (800) 805-5194 at least one day prior to renewal date.
