Ho ho ho! As the holiday season jingles its way into our hearts, Wyndham Rewards is spreading the cheer with a sleigh-full of festive surprises for its more than 120 million loyal members!
This merry hotel chain — which includes a delightful lineup of brands like Howard Johnson, Travelodge, Super 8, Dazzler, Esplendor, and Wyndham hotels — is teaming up with the iconic actress Beverly D’Angelo. You might remember her as the hilarious Ellen Griswold from the classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
She’s here to sprinkle some holiday magic by giving all members a temporary upgrade to their status, making their stays as merry as a Christmas carol!
Wyndham Will Upgrade Your Elite Status This Holiday Season
Starting on November 12 and sleighing through December 31, 2025, any member can unwrap a temporary one-tier bump up in their Wyndham Rewards status upgrade. Even if you’re a brand-new member, you can join the program and feel as bright as a Christmas tree with an upgrade from Blue to Gold status.
This festive up-leveling will unlock a treasure trove of perks, including free Wi-Fi during your hotel stays, a late checkout to keep the holiday spirit alive, and preferred room access to make your stay as cozy as a pair of Christmas socks.
To reveal your holiday gift, simply jingle on over to Wyndham’s website and request your special upgrade. All Blue, Gold, and Platinum members will receive their one-level upgrade automatically after submitting their request through the website. This offer is available to all members worldwide, and the perks will apply across all Wyndham brands.
Upgraded level perks start applying right away for all of your stays, with the exception of Caesars Rewards status match benefits, which are an excluded perk of this promotion.
A reminder to keep your spirits up during the holidays — and to leverage your hotel perks — from Beverly D’Angelo herself:
“The holidays are full of joy, cheer and, let’s be honest, a little chaos. Everyone’s merry, everyone’s messy and somehow, someone always ends up sleeping on the couch. That’s where Wyndham Rewards comes in. With more than 20 brands and thousands of hotels, it’s the simple way to stay close to family—without being too close. A real bed, extra perks and a little breathing room? Now that’s how you brighten the season without tripping a breaker.”
What’s in the Stocking for Wyndham Diamond Elites?
For those with top-tier Wyndham Diamond status, there’s a special Christmas miracle waiting under the tree. Since there’s no higher status level to be upgraded to, this festive gift comes in the form of 5x points on every qualified stay completed by December 31, 2025. It’s like finding an extra present in your stocking!
Note that there's one Wyndham Rewards co-branded card from Barclays that unlocks top-tier Diamond status, the Wyndham Rewards® Earner℠ Business Card.

It’s the perfect way to make your holiday season as jolly as can be.
