(PRESS RELEASE) PASADENA, Calif., and PARSIPPANY, N.J., 2026-May-19 — /Travel PR News/ — Applebee’s and Wyndham Rewards have introduced a new partnership that allows Wyndham Rewards members to order Applebee’s To Go delivery directly to participating hotels through the Wyndham mobile app, combining hotel loyalty benefits with food delivery convenience for travelers across the United States.

The collaboration, described by the companies as an industry-first initiative, enables Wyndham Rewards members staying at participating Hotel by Wyndham properties to receive free delivery on Applebee’s To Go orders of $15 or more placed through the Wyndham app. Members will also earn Wyndham Rewards loyalty points on qualifying purchases.

Under the programme, customers earn 10 Wyndham Rewards points for every dollar spent on eligible Applebee’s To Go orders. In addition, members who join Club Applebee’s will receive 2,500 bonus Wyndham Rewards points on their first qualifying order.

The companies said the partnership aims to simplify in-stay dining for hotel guests by integrating food ordering directly into Wyndham’s digital travel experience. With more than 1,100 Applebee’s restaurants located within five miles of Wyndham-branded hotels across the U.S., the service is expected to provide broad nationwide coverage for both business and leisure travelers.

Vicki Hormann, Executive Director of Off-Premise and CRM at Applebee’s, said the collaboration allows travelers to enjoy the brand’s menu conveniently from their hotel rooms while providing flexible dining options for families and work-related travel stays.

Michael Shiwdin, Group Vice President of Integrated Marketing, Loyalty and Digital at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, said the initiative reflects growing consumer demand for convenience, flexibility and integrated digital travel experiences. He added that the partnership expands the range of services available to Wyndham Rewards members directly through the company’s mobile platform.

Wyndham Rewards currently serves more than 124 million enrolled members globally and operates across a portfolio of more than 8,300 hotels spanning 25 brands. The network includes economy, midscale and upscale hotel brands ranging from roadside lodging chains to urban hotels and resort properties.

Applebee’s remains one of the largest casual dining restaurant brands globally, operating nearly 1,500 restaurants across the United States and international markets through franchise operations managed by subsidiaries of Dine Brands Global.

The partnership highlights the growing convergence between hospitality, loyalty programmes and on-demand service integration as hotel operators increasingly seek to enhance the in-stay guest experience through digital platforms and strategic consumer partnerships.
