September 5, 2025 — American Express has introduced two limited-time promotional offers providing cardholders with up to 20% savings on stays at select Wyndham Hotels & Resorts properties in the United States and Canada. Valid from September 5 to December 5, 2025, the offers apply to midscale and value Wyndham hotels, providing statement credits for qualifying room rate and room charge purchases.
Details of the Wyndham and Amex Partnership Promotion
American Express cardholders can now take advantage of two distinct offers targeting different tiers of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ portfolio in North America. The first promotion offers a $40 statement credit after spending $200 or more at select midscale Wyndham properties, while the second offers a $20 credit after spending $100 or more at select value hotels, all valid through December 5, 2025.
These offers are available to both consumer and business Amex credit cardholders, though availability may vary by individual card and account. Eligible cardholders must log in to their American Express online accounts and add the corresponding offer to a specific credit card to activate the promotion.
Wyndham’s midscale properties include brands such as Wyndham Garden and Hawthorn Suites, while value properties include brands like Super 8 and Days Inn, although a comprehensive list of participating locations is available through the American Express platform.
Specific Terms and Conditions
The promotional credits apply solely to room rates and room-related charges made directly through Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ official online reservation platform, wyndhamhotels.com. Purchases made through third-party resellers, travel agencies, or intermediaries are excluded from the offer. Additionally, the offers exclude timeshare purchases and gift card transactions.
Reservations must be completed within the promotional period, and stays must not be pre-paid before September 5 or after December 5, 2025, to qualify. Each offer provides a single statement credit, meaning cardholders can only redeem the $20 or $40 credit once per eligible card during the promotion.
American Express spokeswoman Lisa Cartwright emphasized, “Amex Offers continue to provide value-added benefits that help cardholders save on travel expenses while enjoying trusted hotel brands. These Wyndham promotions are designed to make travel more affordable this fall.”
Background: Amex Offers and Wyndham’s Market Position
Amex Offers is a rewards program available to all American Express cards, including charge cards and prepaid cards, that presents targeted discounts, cashback, or additional Membership Rewards points when cardholders meet spending thresholds at participating merchants. Since its launch over a decade ago, the program has grown to include thousands of deals spanning dining, retail, travel, and entertainment.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, ranked as one of the world’s largest hotel franchising companies, operates over 9,000 hotels across nearly 90 countries. Its midscale and value segments target cost-conscious travelers, including families, business travelers, and leisure tourists seeking affordable accommodation with reliable service.
Travel industry analyst Mark Benson commented, “Wyndham’s expansive portfolio and Amex’s broad credit card user base make this partnership a strategic promotional move. It caters well to mid-range consumers who want voucher-based discounts to reduce travel costs without compromising on quality.”
Broader Implications for the Travel and Credit Card Industries
As the travel industry continues to recover from pandemic-induced downturns, hotel chains and credit card companies alike are investing in incentive programs to stimulate bookings and card usage. According to data from the American Hotel & Lodging Association, leisure travel has surged by 15% year-on-year in 2025, heightening competition among hotel brands to capture consumer attention.
Credit card providers benefit as offers like these encourage cardholders to increase spending on travel-related expenses, thereby boosting transaction volumes and loyalty program participation. Experts suggest that promotions offering tiered credits, as seen in this Wyndham-Amex collaboration, effectively target diverse customer segments without diluting brand value.
“The dual-offer approach separating midscale from value tier hotels is a savvy marketing tactic,” said hospitality consultant Dana Cruz. “It allows Wyndham and Amex to maximize reach across different traveler demographics while managing the financial exposure of the promotion.”
Additional Wyndham Offers and Future Outlook
Separately, American Express is promoting a luxury-tier offer providing $100 off stays of $500 or more at select Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Luxury Destinations, valid through October 31, 2025. This premium offer targets affluent travelers with higher spending potential, complementing the midscale and value offers launched in September.
Travel financial advisor Sarah Lin encourages consumers to check their Amex accounts regularly: “These offers can significantly reduce accommodation costs if timed well with travel plans. Cardholders should note eligibility deadlines and book directly through official channels as mandated.”
Looking ahead, Wyndham’s partnership with American Express aligns with broader trends of personalized financial incentives driving travel bookings. As the holiday season approaches, similar promotions are expected to emerge across other hotel brands and credit card providers, intensifying market competition.

Eligible American Express cardholders should follow these steps to redeem the Wyndham offers:
