The following advisory is being
issued to all National Finance Center employees
regarding the result of a litigation settlement
between the state of California and Wyndham International,
Inc.
As a result of the settlement involving litigation
between the state of California and Wyndham International,
Incorporated, Wyndham Hotels are offering a $15
per room per night discount certificate to guests
who visited the chain during November 1, 2000,
to December 1, 2001.
Federal personnel traveling on official business
and staying at any of the hotels in the United
States that is owned, leased, managed or operated
by Wyndham, may have been improperly charged an
"Energy Surcharge" in addition to room
charges. Federal personnel who are issued the
$15 discount certificate must forward it to the
agency that funded the travel. Thus, any such
coupon now being offered by the Wyndham Hotel
chain is Federal property, since it is Federal
funds that paid the surcharge and not the employee.
The discount is offered as a result of litigation
and is not considered a "promotional item"
as are frequent flyer miles.
Please refer inquiries regarding this memorandum
to your supervisor. Supervisors should contact
the NFC's Ethics Office at Extension 5-5679 or
5-5580.
