The Best and Worst Hotels for Cashing in Rewards Points | wsj.com
Here’s something different: A simple-to-use loyalty program with huge rewards.
The top performer in a new comparison of hotel loyalty program payback is Wyndham Hotel Group, which revamped its Wyndham Rewards loyalty program 18 months ago to make it a lot more beneficial to travelers. Consulting firm IdeaWorks, which specializes in loyalty programs, compared earning and burning points at six different hotel chains and found average payback at Wyndham is nearly 14%. For every $100 you spend at Wyndham, Ramada, Days Inn, Wingate and other hotels, you can get back $13.60 worth of stays on points.
