This week marks the return of the Daily Getaways promotion for 2019, and today there's an opportunity to buy Wyndham Rewards points at a discount. Daily Getaways is a five week promotion that offers discounts and deals on car rentals, hotel stays, loyalty…
In February I wrote about significant changes coming to the Wyndham Rewards program, and those changes are live as of today. The most significant change that Wyndham made is that they've fundamentally changed how their award pricing works. Since 2015,…
Wyndham Rewards, which has over 60 million members, has just announced some major changes. For context, I think it's important to briefly talk about the changes that Wyndham Rewards made in 2015. At that point they overhauled their loyalty program in…
I recently wrote an updated post about the hotel credit cards that offer free night certificates, either as an annual benefit, or as a reward for reaching certain spend thresholds. In many cases these anniversary free night certificates can more than…
Wyndham Rewards is a unique program, ever since they had an overhaul in 2015. They charge a flat 15,000 points per night for an award stay, regardless of what hotel you redeem at. So whether you’re looking at their cheapest or most expensive hotel, a…
In many ways Wyndham Rewards has impressed me since they overhauled their loyalty program in 2015. Since then they charge a flat 15,000 points per night for an award stay, regardless of what hotel you’re redeeming for. So whether you’re looking at their…

We've seen quite a bit of consolidation in the hotel industry the past few years. Marriott has taken over Starwood, IHG has taken over Kimpton, and Accor has taken over Fairmont, Raffles, And Swissôtel. The consolidation continues, as it has been announced…

Earlier this week I posted about the most INSANE Wyndham Rewards redemption opportunity I had ever seen. There was a Baymont Inn and Suites in Casper Wyoming that was charging $1,500 for August 20th, which of course is the night before the Great American…
I'm pretty excited about the upcoming solar eclipse. As a tech geek, I'm naturally interested in the astronomical significance of this. But I'm really fascinated by the travel aspects. It's incredibly rare for hundreds of thousands, if not millions,…

I have a lot of respect for the direction that Wyndham Rewards has been going. In 2015 they made major changes to their program, which should make anyone who likes aspirational redemptions happy. They adjusted their program so that all award nights cost…
As much as I'm not personally loyal to Wyndham Rewards, I have a lot of respect for what they're trying to do with their program. In 2015 they made major changes to their program, which should make anyone who likes aspirational redemptions happy. They…
Earlier this morning Ben blogged about a Wyndham Rewards promotion that was set to launch today. Essentially, Wyndham was offering to match your Starwood Preferred Guest status and quadruple the SPG points balance you have… but only if you donated all…
Wyndham Rewards has just announced a fascinating promotion. It reminds me a bit of JetBlue's recent points match promotion, where they offered to match the points balances of Virgin America Elevate members. However, this promotion is even more extreme.…
Last year Wyndham Rewards made some revolutionary program changes. A lot of us in the miles & points hobby are all about aspirational redemptions, and Wyndham embraced that more than any other hotel brand I've seen (forgetting the fact that "Wyndham…
Early last week I wrote about Wyndham's summer promotion, which is almost laughably restrictive. Through that promotion you can earn a $100 Wyndham gift card after two stays. However, the $100 gift card can only be used in increments of $25 between now…
We've now learned the details of the summer promotions being offered by Hyatt, Starwood, and IHG, and I suspect we'll soon be learning about promotions from the other major brands as well. The latest hotel chain to announce a promotion is Wyndham. Wyndham…
About a year ago Wyndham Rewards made a revolutionary change to their loyalty program. Under their old program, there were tiers of hotels, where a free night ranged in cost from 5,500 points to 50,000 points. The new program is an aspirational redeemer's…
