JULY 13, 2009 - Wyndham Hotels and Resorts(R) today announced that it will offer up to one million Wyndham Rewards(R) frequent traveler points to meeting professionals who book events at any of its properties.

With the expansion of the Wyndham Event Rewards(R) program to include all Wyndham hotels and resorts worldwide, meeting planners and travel agents can earn 10 Wyndham Rewards points per dollar spent, from a minimum of $2,500 to a maximum of $100,000, on master-billed guest rooms as well as group food and beverage functions and meeting room rentals.

Points can be redeemed for compelling rewards, including free-night stays at Wyndham resorts; airline miles and tickets; meeting credits; Dooney & Bourke(R) handbags; and jewelry and entertainment merchandise including notebook computers and Bose(R) music systems.

Event attendees who belong to the Wyndham Rewards featuring ByRequest(R) guest recognition program are entitled to complimentary benefits including free high-speed Internet access, a choice of welcome snack and beverage, preferred pillow type, express check-in, guaranteed late check-out, local and long-distance calls, best available room upon arrival, photocopies, faxes and online receipts.

"Planning an event with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, known for its attentive Count on Me! service culture, innovative cuisine and personalized amenities, has always been a win-win for meeting professionals and attendees alike," said Jeff Wagoner, Wyndham president and a newly appointed member of the MPI Foundation Global Board of Trustees. "Now, with the addition of points and extra incentives to book meetings across all Wyndham hotels, we've added more ways to reward our valued customers with one of the richest programs in the industry."

The Wyndham Rewards loyalty program is the largest in the lodging industry based on the number of participating hotels. Points can be redeemed at www.wyndhamrewards.com for hotel night stays at participating Wyndham Hotel Group properties in North America, Europe, China, Latin America and the Caribbean. Points can also be redeemed for other rewards including airline tickets, resort vacations, name-brand merchandise, rental cars, rail points or services at many popular restaurants and stores.

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC and its affiliates, subsidiaries of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: WYN), offers upscale hotel and resort accommodations throughout the United States, Europe, China, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. All hotels are either franchised or managed by Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, LLC or an affiliate. For additional information or to make a reservation, go to www.wyndham.com.

Guest-room charges must be included on a master bill to qualify toward the total event purchase. Points will be awarded based on actual group room nights consumed during the event, regardless of the contracted amount. Multiday events on a single contract will constitute a single event for rewards purposes. Blackout dates and some restrictions may apply.
