Wyndham Launches Wyndham Rewards Insider
Wyndham Rewards is launching a new subscription service called Wyndham Rewards Insider. For an annual fee of $95, members gain benefits including automatic Gold level status, access to concierge services, and the ability to earn double‐points with select travel partners. As a launch incentive, new subscribers who sign up before year‐end will receive 14 months of membership for the price of 12, plus a bonus 7,500 points.
The subscription expands beyond hotel stays to provide savings across flights, cruises, car rentals, tours and activities. Hotel stays get 10 %+ off standard rates at 8,000+ properties, flights up to 5 % domestic and 15 % international savings, cruises up to 30 % off, and 10% or more off on car rentals. Members also earn Wyndham Rewards points on most bookings, and qualify for exclusive entertainment benefits through a new partnership with Ticketmaster.
Wyndham highlights that with average annual savings across hotels, flights, car rentals, cruises, and more, the $95 subscription easily pays for itself. For instance, a couple planning a three-night Orlando trip with lodging at Wyndham Lake Buena Vista, airfare, a rental car, and Walt Disney World® park hopper tickets can save more than $580. This example underscores the subscription’s strong value proposition, positioning it as a practical investment for both frequent and casual travelers.

The Plug Drink Launches into Total Wine
The Plug Drink, known for its liver-health and recovery formulated beverages to address hangover and liver support, announced that it is now being carried at all locations of Total Wine & More, the largest independent alcohol retailer in the U.S. with nearly 300 stores selling a broad range of wines, beers, and spirits. This represents their first major national brick-and-mortar retail chain partnership.
As part of the rollout, The Plug’s electrolyte-rich drink will be sold individually at Total Wine checkout lanes, rather than only in multi-packs as in previous retail channels. A special promotion is planned for December through early February, during the busy holiday and New Year’s period, where customers buying two drinks will receive a dollar off.
Looking ahead, The Plug plans to continue expanding both online and offline. The brand points to its growth via online retail (including platforms like Target.com, Walmart.com, and TikTok Shop) and its new subscription-loyalty program as part of a broader ambition to make itself a household name in wellness and liver health.
