PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Essential
workers across the globe are getting something special in their
email inbox today. In honor of National First Responders Day,
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world's largest hotel franchising
company with over 9,000 hotels across approximately 90 countries,
is surprising over 45,000 workers on the frontlines of the pandemic
with 7,500 Wyndham Rewards® points, enough for a free one-night
stay at thousands of Hotels by Wyndham.
The latest initiative under Wyndham's ongoing #EverydayHeroes
campaign, the points are being sent to any health care worker,
police officer, teacher, truck driver, construction worker or other
essential worker who opted into the campaign at
www.wyndhamrewards.com/heroes prior to 11:59
p.m. ET on October 27,
2020.
"Throughout this pandemic, it's our essential frontline
workers who have helped keep us all safe and our Nation
running," said Geoff Ballotti,
president and CEO of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "On this
National First Responders Day, we want to honor
their hard work and continued sacrifice. Whether it's
with a quick overnight getaway or a week-long escape, our hope is
that these points, combined with the added perks of Wyndham Rewards
Gold membership, help to make their next trip not only more
attainable, but more enjoyable too. They've earned it."
Wyndham launched its #EverydayHeroes campaign this past April as
a way to recognize and say thank you to those on the frontlines of
the pandemic—many of whom continue to travel as a necessary
function of their job. Through the campaign, eligible workers are
able to receive a complimentary instant upgrade to Wyndham Rewards
Gold membership, which comes with added perks like late checkout, a
preferred room and accelerated earning.
Points are being distributed today via email and must be claimed
by November 18, 2020. Once claimed,
recipients have 18 months to redeem. While workers must have opted
into the campaign before today to receive the points, those who
have yet to do so can still claim their complimentary Gold
membership, thanks to an extension of the campaign through
December 31, 2020. For more

As the travel landscape continues to evolve in the wake of
COVID-19, Wyndham and its brands remain committed to the health and
safety of guests and team members. The vast majority of the
Company's hotels remain open and are welcoming guests with flexible
booking policies and enhanced health and safety protocols through
Wyndham's Count on UsSM initiative. The Company has
also extended current Wyndham Rewards member benefits through the
end of 2021 and paused points expiration through the end of this
year. Learn more at www.wyndhamhotels.com/COVID-19.
