How Does Wyndham Rewards Business Work?
Wyndham Rewards Business launched in 2024 as a dedicated B2B program with one innovative wrinkle: dual earning. Travelers accumulate personal points through standard Wyndham Rewards, while your company also earns separate points on every qualified stay.
Companies earn one point per dollar on all business-qualified room spend. Plus, your points live in a dedicated account with a pain-free redemption process, and include free nights, discounted stays, and gift cards.
Enrolled companies can gift Wyndham Rewards Gold membership to up to three employees annually. That’s especially powerful when you’re a small company wanting to reward your team members without leaving people out. And Wyndham Direct billing consolidates your room charges into one monthly invoice.
Startups earning their first points receive the same structure as enterprises booking hundreds of rooms monthly. That means no volume thresholds, qualification hurdles, or annual fees.
What Makes Wyndham's Travel Advisor Program Competitive?
- Commission: Earn 10% commission on all qualified bookings consistently. Simply, enter your IATA number during the reservation and commissions process monthly with payment 45 to 60 days after checkout through Onyx CenterSource.
- Personal Travel: Complete Wyndham Wise online training, and you’ll unlock 40% off standard rates for personal travel at participating hotels worldwide. The training also delivers sales strategies and two continuing education units for The Travel Institute certification.
- TMC & Consortia: Corporate clients booking through travel management companies or consortia receive 5% off standard rates at participating hotels. Book through GDS using master chain code WR or your preferred rate access code.
How Does Hickory Partnership Unlock Better Wyndham Rates?
Most mid-market companies face impossible volume thresholds requiring millions in annual spend to unlock the best negotiated rates. Your company books enough rooms to deserve competitive pricing, but frequently not enough to meet their arbitrary minimums.
Hickory Global Partners solves this through aggregation, combining purchasing volume across our member base—corporate travel agencies, TMCs, and corporations—to create collective negotiating power. When we approach Wyndham representing hundreds of organizations, we bring enterprise-level volume that commands enterprise-level rates.
This delivers verified rate advantages backed by Hickory's revenue optimization analytics, showing exactly how much your program saves, which properties deliver optimal value in which markets, and where opportunities exist for your organization.
Beyond pricing, Hickory membership delivers operational advantages: access Wyndham's complete 25-brand portfolio through one strategic partnership, seamless integration with existing booking systems, and Hickory Solutions365 for 24/7 travel support without staffing round-the-clock operations.
