Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is leveling up its Wyndham Rewards program in a collaboration with Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar along with announcing the launch of Wyndham Rewards Experiences.

The Experiences program’s all new experiential platform is powered by iconic sports and entertainment brands including Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Minor League Baseball and Caesars Rewards.

The offerings, launched in phases, will give Wyndham Rewards members new nationwide dining perks along with member-only access to coveted festivals, concerts and events, including the sold-out Vans Warped Tour in both Long Beach, California and Washington, D.C.; Country Jam in Grand Junction, Colorado and Beyond Wonderland in Chicago.

Michael Shiwdin, GVP, Loyalty & Partnerships, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts said in a statement, “Day-in and day-out, our focus is making Wyndham Rewards the absolute best hotel rewards program."

He added, “Whether it’s unlocking access to world-class events, delivering standout experiences, or simply rewarding members for dining with a brand they love, that’s what our newest partnerships are all about. In doing so, we’re making it even easier for members to get more out of their membership, both on the road and in their everyday lives.”

Wyndham Rewards Members can use their points to place bids across multiple experiences which include:

  • VIP tickets for two to the sold-out Vans Warped Tour in Washington, D.C. complete with private backstage tour, $100 F&B credit and festival merch.
  • The chance to ride on the Zamboni during a New York Rangers regular season home game at the iconic Madison Square Garden, and two tickets to the game.
  • Two tickets to the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall, including a meet-and-greet with the Rockettes – all during the dance company’s milestone 100th anniversary year.
  • A guaranteed spot playing with a PGA TOUR pro in the Wyndham Championship Wednesday Pro-Am at Sedgefield Country Club, plus two hospitality tickets.
  • Tickets for two to see Minor League Baseball’s San Jose Giants take on the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes at Excite Ballpark with the opportunity to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch.

Slated to launch later in 2025, Wyndham’s partnership with Applebee’s enables reward members staying at any Hotel by Wyndham to earn Wyndham Rewards points when placing a mobile To GO order from more than 1,500 Applebee’s restaurants nationwide from their Wyndham app, along with free delivery.
