Move fast: Wyndham offers 30-night hotel pass for just $499
Travel passes aren't just for airlines anymore: Wyndham Rewards has rolled out a select number of what it's calling the Ultimate Hotel Pass.
Only 25 of the passes are available, and if you are chosen to fork over the $499 (plus tax), you can enjoy 30 nights at any Wyndham-affiliated hotel or resort around the world, and even at Caesars Rewards properties. The hotel stays must be completed by Oct. 1, and you can use pass nights to book an extra room for accompanying guests.
The pass is a great way to experience the full spectrum of Wyndham brands, like the high-end Registry Collection and Wyndham Alltra, the company's all-inclusive resort brand.
"Wyndham Rewards is known for its simplicity, its generosity and an incredible portfolio of thousands of hotels around the world—from breathtaking beachfront resorts and all-inclusives to sought-after city-center destinations that place guests in the heart of the action," Mike Shiwdin, group vice president of loyalty and strategic partnerships at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement. "With the Ultimate Hotel Pass, we're making this the best summer ever by giving travelers an unprecedented chance to spend weeks experiencing the best Wyndham has to offer, all for a price of a weekend getaway."
Head to the Ultimate Hotel Pass website to preregister for the chance to purchase when the passes go on sale July 8. Registration closes at 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 4. A randomly selected 25 preregistered people will be notified July 8 of their opportunity to claim and purchase the Ultimate Hotel Pass. If you're one of the lucky ones, you'll have 48 hours to buy the pass.
To be eligible to claim the pass, you must be at least 18 years old, a resident of the U.S. and a member of the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program. There will be a dedicated Pass Concierge to assist with all reservations, modifications and cancellations for Ultimate Hotel Pass holders. But keep an eye on the fine print: There will be a limited number of blackout dates.
Whether you're a road warrior who relies on brands like La Quinta or an international jet-setter looking to check in to Vienna House, the Ultimate Hotel Pass is going to make 25 travelers very happy with serious summer savings.
