Just in time for National Best Friends Day, Days Inn by Wyndham is launching a nationwide search to reunite five pairs of long-distance friends as its newest brand ambassadors.

Five sets of friends will claim the title of official “Days Inn-siders,” and spend a weekend spotlighting the best a destination has to offer for the brand’s social media channels. Each pair will receive a $10,000 payday along with accommodations, flights and a daily travel stipend.

John Henderson, VP, Brand Operations, Days Inn by Wyndham said in a statement, “In a world where group chats fade and schedules collide, Days Inn is making sure one thing stays strong – closeness. With destinations that offer everything from laid-back beach escapes to vibrant city adventures, our hotels create space for best friends to share the kind of moments that stick – and that’s exactly what our Days Inn-siders will help bring to life.”

Types of Duos

  • Nature Nomads – From misty mornings in the Pacific Northwest, stargazing in Sedona and red rock sunsets in the Southwest, these besties love the trail.
  • Taste Makers – This duo plans their trips around flavor and flair – uncovering the best deep-dish in Chicago, food truck feasts in Austin or simply café-hopping in Portland.
  • Adrenaline Junkies – From Orlando’s roller coasters in Orlando, zip-lining through the Smokies, or ATVing across the Utah dessert, these besties are about speed, heights and heart-racing fun.
  • Wave Watchers – From sunrise surf sessions in Santa Monica to boardwalk strolls in Ocean City, Maryland, these besties love the salt air and sandy toes.
  • Culture Cravers – Live music in Nashville, museums in D.C. to art walks in Santa Fe – these besties travel for soul, story and self-expression.

Responsibilities

  • Able to travel for two nights between August – December 2025 (dates and destination coordinated with the Days Inn team).
  • Create original “Days Inn-sider” content (video + photo) highlighting must-do experiences for the brand’s social media channels.
  • Inspire others to stop waiting and start reuniting through authentic storytelling.
  • Represent the Days Inn spirit like a pro – rooted in fun, adventure and warmth.

The Perks

  • $10,000 cash payday ($5,000 per bestie).
  • Shared Days Inn hotel room for two guests for two nights.
  • Travel stipend ($2,000 per pair) for airfare, ground transportation, and meals.
  • Wyndham Rewards DIAMOND level membership.
  • A suitcase full of Days Inn swag.
  • A real-life reunion with your favorite person.

Qualifications

  • Creative and social media-savvy duo—18 years or older.
  • Social -savvy, knowing your way around a photo dump, reel or TikTok.
  • Legal resident of U.S., D.C., Guam or Puerto Rico with a valid form of government-issued ID (U.S. passport or state-issued ID).
  • Fluent in both written and spoken English.

Candidates can apply online by July 1, 2025.
