PARSIPPANY, NJ--(Marketwired - November 13, 2014) - Wyndham Rewards
A wrap-up to this summer's consumer-facing Wyndham Rewards One Million Dollar Sweepstakes and Franchisee Incentive Program of the same name, the event gave each promotion's two winners a once in a lifetime opportunity: the chance to win one million dollars, live on a game show style set in Times Square, just by picking from among a wall of 50 suitcases.
"Wyndham Rewards gives members access to thousands of great hotels with countless rewards," said Josh Lesnick, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Wyndham Hotel Group. "Our million dollar sweepstakes, which culminated with today's game-show like event in the center of Times Square, is just one of the many fun, over-the-top promotions that we offer each and every year. It's all about keeping members excited and engaged with the program as well as our diverse family of brands."
Upon conclusion of the main event, which wrapped this afternoon, Wyndham Rewards opened the game show inspired space up to the public, and gave away prizes to New Yorkers and tourists alike, with offerings ranging from Wyndham Rewards branded travel accessories and gift cards to free hotel stays in the form of Wyndham Rewards points.
Prior to participating in the event, all four winners received complimentary transportation into New York City along with spending money, and accommodations at the iconic Wyndham New Yorker Hotel at 481 8
