Wynhdam is giving everyday heroes a perk for when it’s time to travel again!

In honor of the everyday heroes fighting on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis, Wyndham is offering all essential workers a complimentary upgrade to Gold Membership in its Wyndham Rewards loyalty program.

Wyndham considers essential workers to include truck drivers, delivery drivers, warehouse workers, construction workers, sanitation workers, grocery associates, healthcare workers, and more.

    It won’t work for me. Just keeps saying there is an error. “Something’s not right – please try again later”

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Oh darn! I wonder if they are getting a lot of traffic. Maybe wait a bit and try again. Hope this helps!

    I got the same error…

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Bummer! Sorry to hear about the issues. Maybe wait a moment and try back again. Hoping you can get through soon!
