While Wyndham is the largest hotel franchising company in the world in terms of number of properties (the company has 9,300 hotels in 90 countries), I don’t talk all that much about its loyalty program, Wyndham Rewards.
Wyndham Rewards has just launched its newest global promotion, valid for stays into early 2025. This has the potential to be pretty lucrative, so let’s go over the details.
In this post:
Wyndham Rewards fall 2024 bonus points offer
With Wyndham Rewards’ new promotion, members can earn up to 15,000 bonus points. Specifically, you can earn 7,500 bonus points after staying two eligible nights, and you can earn this bonus up to twice, for a total of 15,000 bonus points.
Furthermore, if you’re the primary cardmember on a Wyndham credit card, you can earn an additional 5,000 bonus points after completing your first eligible stay during the promotion period.
Here are the basic terms to be aware of for Wyndham’s promotion:
- This is valid for stays between September 26, 2024, and January 20, 2025
- You must register prior to booking an eligible stay, so previously booked stays don’t qualify
- Registration is required by January 16, 2025
- Stays must be booked directly through Wyndham, either through the website or mobile app
- You can earn up to 15,000 bonus points total (or 20,000 bonus points if you’re a cardmember) during the promotion period, so you could unlock that after one stay of four nights, two stays of two nights, etc.
- Stays in China (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) and Mongolia don’t count toward this promotion
- Bonus points will post within two to four weeks of a qualifying stay
For context, Wyndham Rewards ordinarily offers 10x Wyndham Rewards points per dollar spent, and that doesn’t factor in any elite bonuses or credit card bonuses. So with this offer, you could earn 3,750 bonus points per night, if you stay exactly four nights (plus a total of an additional 5,000 bonus points if you’re a cardmember).
Redeeming Wyndham Rewards points
When it comes time to redeem Wyndham Rewards points, there are three tiers of hotels:
- About a third of properties cost 7,500 points per night
- A majority of properties cost 15,000 points per night
- A few hundred properties cost 30,000 points per night
As you can see, you can maximize this offer by staying four nights, in which case you’d earn a total of 15,000 points, or 3,750 bonus points per night. Personally I value Wyndham Rewards points at 0.7 cents each, so to me this promotion offers an incremental return of ~$26 per night if you stay two or four nights. You can get even more value if you have a Wyndham credit card.
If you’re looking to earn more Wyndham points:
- Barclays recently refreshed its portfolio of Wyndham cards, which offer improved points earning opportunities and status
- Wyndham Rewards often sells points with a bonus, which could be an opportunity to acquire them at a cost that makes sense
Bottom line
Wyndham Rewards has just launched its fall 2024 promotion. With this offer, you can earn up to 15,000 bonus points after staying four nights (whether it’s across one or multiple stays), or up to 20,000 bonus points if you have a Wyndham credit card. Just keep in mind that only stays booked after registering qualify.
