What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific method for determining the 'Loyalty Metric' is not detailed in the provided excerpts. However, the FDD does state that if a Baymont Inn Suites facility fails to achieve a required number of Wyndham Rewards Valid Enrollments, or another loyalty metric that Wyndham may require from time to time, during a defined measurement period, the franchisee may incur a Missed Valid Enrollment Fee.
The FDD indicates that the specifics of the 'Loyalty Metric' and the measurement period are described in the Front Desk Guide. The Front Desk Guide also outlines stays for which members earn Wyndham Rewards points, which are subject to change. Wyndham Rewards, Inc. may also modify, alter, delete, or add new terms or conditions, procedures, point values, redemption levels, or rewards for the Wyndham Rewards program with thirty days' notice and may terminate the program at any time with six months' prior notice.
Prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisees should obtain and carefully review the Front Desk Guide to fully understand how the 'Loyalty Metric' is calculated, what the required thresholds are, and what fees may be incurred for failing to meet those thresholds. Understanding these details is crucial for budgeting and operational planning.
