September 28 2015 - 9:00AM
Avis Budget Group and Wyndham Hotel Group today announced the
signing of a multi-year partnership agreement, making Avis Car
Rental and Budget Car Rental exclusive partners of the newly
re-imagined Wyndham Rewards® loyalty program. The new agreement
expands the existing relationship between the two companies.
Wyndham Rewards members now earn double the points previously
earned per day on eligible Avis and Budget rentals — 100 points
daily — while receiving greater access to money-saving offers.
Members also have the option of converting Wyndham Rewards points
to rental certificates, starting with as few as 6,500 points.
"Wyndham Rewards is all about simplicity, generosity and
rewarding those who've earned it," said Noah Brodsky, senior vice
president of worldwide loyalty and engagement at Wyndham Hotel
Group. "With great vehicles, thousands of locations globally and
now double the points, Avis and Budget are the perfect fit for our
members."
"The new Wyndham Rewards program makes it easier than ever for
members to earn and redeem points for meaningful rewards," said Tom
Villani, vice president, global travel and partnerships, Avis
Budget Group. "We're thrilled that Wyndham Rewards has selected
Avis Budget Group as its exclusive car rental provider. The
expanded relationship will help generate incremental rental volume
while giving Wyndham Rewards members an even more rewarding rental
experience."
To celebrate the expanded partnership, now through the end of
the year, Wyndham Rewards members can receive up to 30 percent off
all eligible Avis and Budget rentals, plus a bonus of 750 to 1,000
Wyndham Rewards points, depending on their Wyndham Rewards status.
Bonus points are in addition to the standard 100 points earned
daily. For full promotion details, as well as terms and conditions,
