Wyndham’s New Perks, Hotel Cost Cuts and GetYourGuide’s Profitable Q3
Wyndham rolled out a $95/year Wyndham Rewards Insider subscription for U.S. customers, offering at least 10% off rates at 8,000+ properties (excluding Echo Suites), automatic Gold status, and flight discounts up to 15% international and 5% domestic to keep the brand relevant between stays. Major hotel chains head into a tough earnings season after two straight quarters of RevPAR declines through September, with economy hotels down 3% year-over-year and analysts watching for further corporate headcount cuts following reductions at Marriott and Hyatt. Meanwhile, GetYourGuide says it’s profitable for the first time, booking a record 10 million experiences in Q3 (up 30% YoY) and nearly $1.2B in annual revenue, as a Skift x McKinsey report pegs global experience spending at over $1T and up to $310B for paid, structured activities.
