PARSIPPANY, NJ --(Marketwired - September 18, 2014) - Now through the end of this year, Wyndham Rewards® is matching member point donations to the American Red Cross -- up to one million Wyndham Rewards points -- in celebration of the organization joining the growing loyalty program as its newest online redemption partner.
Through the partnership, Wyndham Rewards members now have the option of easily making a donation to the Red Cross directly from their member account, starting with as few as 3,000 points for a $15 donation, up to 22,000 points for a $100 donation. Regardless of the amount donated, 100 percent of all donations go directly to the Red Cross to assist with domestic and international disaster relief efforts, preparedness education and blood services.
"Our goal with this partnership was to empower members, offering them a simple and easy way to give back to communities in need, whether during times of disaster or otherwise," said Mike Mueller, vice president of loyalty, marketing and partnerships at Wyndham Hotel Group. "We're proud to partner with the American Red Cross and excited about the potential impact that our more than 37 million members will be able to make in assisting the organization as it works to fulfill its mission and vision."
The Red Cross joins a growing list of charitable organizations that Wyndham Rewards members may donate to via the program. Those organizations include the Starlight Children's Foundation, Christel House International, Hole in the Wall Camps and Hotels for Heroes, to name a few.
