Business Combinations [Abstract]  
Acquistions Acquisitions
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the respective acquisition dates based upon their estimated fair values at such dates. The results of operations of businesses acquired by the Company have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss) since their respective dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. In certain circumstances, the allocations of the excess purchase price were based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations may be subject to revision when the Company receives final information, including appraisals and other analyses. Any revisions to the fair values during the measurement period will be recorded by the Company as further adjustments to the purchase price allocations. Although, in certain circumstances, the Company has substantially integrated the operations of its acquired businesses, additional future costs relating to such integration may occur. These costs may result from integrating operating systems, relocating employees, closing facilities, reducing duplicative efforts, and exiting and consolidating other activities. These costs will be recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss) as expenses.

2022 ACQUISITIONS
Other. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed a business acquisition at its Travel and Membership segment for $2 million. The preliminary purchase price allocations resulted in the recognition of (i) $1 million of definite lived intangibles with a weighted average life of seven years (ii) $1 million of goodwill; and (iii) $1 million of deferred other revenue.

2021 ACQUISITIONS
Travel + Leisure. On January 5, 2021, the Company acquired the Travel + Leisure brand from Dotdash Meredith (formerly Meredith Corporation) for $100 million, $35 million of which was paid at closing and is reflected as cash used in Investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company made additional payments of $20 million in each of 2021 and 2022, the majority of which is reflected as cash used in Financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The remaining payments are to be completed by June 2024. This transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the full consideration allocated to the related trademark indefinite-lived intangible asset. The Company acquired the Travel + Leisure brand to accelerate its strategic plan to broaden its reach with the launch of new travel services, expand its membership travel business, and amplify the global visibility of its leisure travel products.

2019 ACQUISITIONS
Alliance Reservations Network. On August 7, 2019, the Company acquired all of the equity of Alliance Reservations Network (“ARN”). ARN, which is reported within the Travel and Membership segment, provides private-label travel booking technology solutions. This acquisition was undertaken for the purpose of accelerating growth at Travel and Membership by increasing the offerings available to its members and affiliates. ARN was acquired for $102 million ($97 million net of cash acquired). The fair value of purchase consideration was comprised of: (i) $48 million paid in cash at closing and $11 million paid in each of 2020 and 2021; (ii) $24 million of Travel + Leisure Co. stock (721,450 shares at a weighted average price per share of $32.51); and (iii) $10 million of contingent consideration based on achieving certain financial and operational metrics.

During 2022, the Company reduced its accrual for contingent consideration by $10 million to reflect the fair value based on expected performance. This amount was included within Other income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income/(Loss).
