Wyndham Championship Trivia Contest Gives Fans Opportunity to "WYN" Big

PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwired - Apr 15, 2013) - With The Masters now complete and golf season officially in full swing, Wyndham Worldwide ( NYSE : WYN ), one of the world's largest hospitality companies, and the Wyndham Rewards ® loyalty program, are giving fans the opportunity to win one million Wyndham Rewards points through the Wyndham Championship Trivia Contest.

Beginning today and continuing through the next 18 weeks leading up to the Wyndham Championship , an annual PGA TOUR event set for August 12-18, 2013, at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., fans can log on to the Wyndham Championship Facebook page , where they can enter the sweepstakes and answer a trivia question related to the Wyndham Championship, golf fun facts as well as facts about Wyndham Worldwide and its family of brands.

Each week, one winner will be selected to receive 25,000 Wyndham Rewards points and have their photo replace the pin flag on the course map cover photo on the Wyndham Championship Facebook page. During the Wyndham Championship, one of the 18 weekly winners will be randomly selected to receive the grand prize of one million Wyndham Rewards Points. Wyndham Rewards is the free-to-join guest loyalty program of Wyndham Hotel Group, part of Wyndham Worldwide. The world's largest lodging loyalty program as measured by number of participating hotels, the program offers members the chance to earn and redeem points for stays at nearly 7,000 hotels throughout more than 50 countries worldwide. Non-members can enroll directly on the sweepstakes page or at www.wyndhamrewards.com .

"The Wyndham Championship Trivia Contest is a great way for us to directly engage with our guests in a fun and interactive way, while giving them a chance to win enough Wyndham Rewards points to redeem for a free night stay," said Robin Korman, senior vice president, Loyalty Marketing and Strategic Partnerships, Wyndham Hotel Group. "We take pride in giving our customers what they want by providing immediate and tangible rewards and this contest is another way for us to give them points which can be redeemed for travel, dining and entertainment or gift cards for a variety of merchandise from some of their favorite retailers."

Additionally, upon submitting an answer to the weekly question, users will be presented with a 50 percent off promotion code to purchase tickets to the Wyndham Championship, hosted annually at the storied Sedgefield Country Club, and played on the legendary Donald Ross-designed course. The Wyndham Championship, one of the oldest events on the PGA TOUR, attracts some 80,000 spectators each year, and is the last stop for players to earn points before the start of the PGA TOUR playoffs and the race for the FedEx Cup.

"The Wyndham Championship is much more than a golf tournament; it's also about providing an escape from everyday life or a mini-vacation for our patrons," said Mark Brazil, Wyndham Championship tournament director. "The Wyndham Championship Trivia Contest is a fun and interactive way to count down the weeks until the tournament and it gives the fans an opportunity to create their own escape by winning Wyndham Rewards points."
