Wyndham Unveils Simplified Rewards Program

And a Reminder for AAdvantage Members

In 2015, American Airlines is rewarding customers who are members of either American’s AAdvantage or US Airways’ Dividend Miles programs with bonus miles when they purchase First or Business Class tickets on all eligible flights marketed or operated by American or US Airways. The promotion applies to all travel through Dec. 31, 2015.

Complete details are Wyndham Rewards has announced a streamlined loyalty program with a single redemption rate of just 15,000 points and a guaranteed 1,000 points per stay. The new program offers members a generous points earning structure and a flat, free night redemption rate – the first of its kind for a major, member rewards program.

Under the program members can now earn free nights faster at more than 7,500 Wyndham Rewards properties. Members who want to redeem their points sooner or stay longer for less can book a night at available hotels for just 3,000 points plus cash. For every qualified stay, members now earn 10 points for every dollar spent or a minimum of 1,000 points per stay, whichever is more.

Beginning on May 11, members will see their existing points automatically transferred into the new program. Following the launch of the program, a new updated mobile app will be launched. Updated world-class elite membership tiers for the program’s most loyal members are expected to roll out later this fall.
