But that doesn\u2019t mean the program isn\u2019t worth your time \u2014 especially since Capital One added Wyndham as a transfer partner in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Rewards has some great redemption sweet spots too \u2014 think hotel stays in Hawaii for just 15,000 points per night, modern hotels in Mexico City for 7,500 points per night and several low-priced options near Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n<p>If this sounds like something you\u2019re interested in, you\u2019re in the right place. Here, I\u2019ll walk you through the ins and outs of the Wyndham Rewards program. I\u2019ll start by taking a look at the program itself, and then move into earning and redeeming points.

In fact, you\u2019ll find Wyndham hotels in all inhabited continents and over 80 countries.<\/p>\n<p>But despite having such a sizable worldwide footprint, the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program keeps a pretty low profile. It doesn\u2019t have as many bells and whistles as other programs, but it does have a suite of elite status benefits and \u2014 as mentioned earlier \u2014 remarkable redemption sweet spots that keep Wyndham enthusiasts coming back for more.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of enthusiasts, Wyndham Rewards has four different elite status levels: Blue, Gold, Platinum and Diamond. Each status level has varying benefits, but top-tier Diamond members can expect space-available suite upgrades, late checkout and other perks.

You\u2019ll earn status after completing qualifying nights at Wyndham properties. Just keep in mind that nights booked through third-party sites, including online travel agencies, don\u2019t count toward elite night qualification.<\/p>\n<h3>Wyndham Blue status<\/h3>\n<p>All Wyndham Rewards members start as Blue, which doesn\u2019t offer much in the way of benefits. Members mainly get free Wi-Fi and access to a members-only discounted room rate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"EmailSignUp_container__XqB82\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 130 124\"

CLUB WYNDHAM MIDTOWN 45<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are a few different ways you can earn Wyndham Rewards points, with one of the most obvious being staying at Wyndham\u2019s properties worldwide. Further, you can earn Wyndham points with cobranded credit cards, through its shopping portal and other various earning methods. I\u2019ll take you through the best ways to earn Wyndham Rewards points in the paragraphs below.<\/p>\n<h3>Earn points at Wyndham properties<\/h3>\n<p>Like almost all hotel programs, you\u2019ll earn points when staying at Wyndham properties based on how much you spend and your Wyndham Rewards status. You\u2019ll earn 10 points per dollar spent on all Wyndham Rewards stays regardless of the brand, with each stay earning a minimum of 1,000 points. You\u2019ll earn points on the hotel\u2019s base rate, so taxes and other fees don&#8217;t earn points.<\/p>\n<p>As discussed earlier, those with Wyndham Rewards status earn a percentage bonus on all Wyndham stays:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gold: <\/strong>10% or 1 extra point per dollar spent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Platinum: <\/strong>15% or 1.5 extra points per dollar spent.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Diamond: <\/strong>20% or 2 extra points per dollar spent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So if you\u2019re a Diamond member and you spend $179 on a single night stay, you\u2019ll earn 2,148 points for your stay. On the other hand, a member without status would earn 1,790 on the same stay. If the stay were just $79 per night, a standard member would earn 1,000 points due to the 1,000-point minimum for all stays.<\/p>\n<p>Further, Wyndham frequently offers promotions that give you even more points for your paid bookings. For example, a periodic promotion gives members 5,500 bonus points for every two Wyndham stays. As you&#8217;ll see later in the article, this means that you&#8217;ll earn at least one free night for every two stays booked.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that bookings made through third-party online travel agencies are ineligible to earn points. Make sure to book your Wyndham stays on the Wyndham website if you want to earn points and use your elite status benefits.<\/p>\n<h3>Earn points with Wyndham cobranded credit cards<\/h3>\n<p>Wyndham offers three cobranded credit cards. Each offers benefits like elite status, bonus points and annual fees. If you want to earn Wyndham points on everyday purchases, take a look at the three Wyndham credit cards and assess which is best for your spending habits.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/wyndham-rewards-earner-card\/?tid=post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyndham Rewards Earner\u00ae Card<\/a> ($0 annual fee): <\/strong><\/strong>Earn 30,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening. Earn 5 points per dollar on eligible purchases at Wyndham properties and gas stations, 2 points per dollar on grocery store purchases (excluding Target and Walmart) and dining, and 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Additionally, enjoy Wyndham Rewards Gold status as long as the card is open and in good standing, and 7,500 bonus points after spending $15,000 on the card in a single calendar year.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/wyndham-rewards-earner-plus-card\/?tid=post\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyndham Rewards Earner\u00ae Plus Card<\/a> ($75 annual fee):<\/strong> Earn 45,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening. Earn 6 points per dollar on eligible purchases at Wyndham properties and gas stations, 4 points per dollar points on grocery store purchases and dining, and 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Additionally, enjoy Wyndham Rewards Platinum status as long as the card is open and in good standing, and 7,500 bonus points on every account anniversary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wyndham Rewards Earner Business Card ($95 annual fee): <\/strong>Earn 45,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases within the first 90 days of account opening. Earn 8 points per dollar at Wyndham properties and gas stations, 5 points per dollar on marketing, advertising and utilities and 1 point per dollar everywhere else. Additionally, enjoy Wyndham Rewards Diamond status as long as the card is open and in good standing and 15,000 bonus points on every account anniversary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The information for the Wyndham Rewards Earner Business card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All of these cards are great for earning Wyndham Rewards points quickly, but I highly recommend going with the variant with the $75 annual fee if you can afford it. The 45,000-point welcome bonus is worth $495, per <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/monthly-valuations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TPG\u2019s most recent valuations<\/a>, and the annual 7,500-point bonus offsets the annual fee. Further, automatic Platinum status is great for those who stay at Wyndham properties a few times a year and want an elevated experience. This status usually requires 15 paid nights per calendar year.<\/p>\n<h3>Transfer Wyndham points from Capital One or Citi ThankYou<\/h3>\n<p>Additionally, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/capital-one-transfer-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transfer Capital One miles<\/a> to Wyndham Rewards at a 2:1.5 transfer ratio. This means that 1,000 Capital One miles equal 750 Wyndham Rewards points. Other transfer partners may give you more value for your points, but having the option to transfer to Wyndham means you can quickly replenish your Wyndham Rewards balance if you need a few extra points for a specific redemption.<\/p>\n<p>You can earn Capital One miles with cards like the <span class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/capital-one-venture-rewards-credit-card\/?tid=post\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-amp-addparams=\"0\" data-amp-replace=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362 applyLink\">Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card<\/a><\/span>, <span class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/capital-one-venture-x-rewards-credit-card\/?tid=post\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-amp-addparams=\"0\" data-amp-replace=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362 applyLink\">Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card<\/a><\/span> and <span class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/apply-now\/capital-one-spark-miles-for-business\/?tid=post\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-amp-addparams=\"0\" data-amp-replace=\"0\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"jsx-47a555216f5cc362 applyLink\">Capital One Spark Miles for Business<\/a><\/span>.

Wyndham has one of the most straightforward award charts, with only three different award pricing tiers: 7,500, 15,000 and 30,000 points per night. Generally, the premier hotels in major cities will fall into the higher tiers, while more budget-focused properties will fall into the lowest tier.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll often find hotels at the 7,500-point tier along major expressways or in off-the-beaten-path destinations. This can be handy on <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/take-a-road-trip-this-summer-with-these-5-family-friendly-routes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">road trips<\/a>, where you might need a night between stops. These hotel stays can get expensive during holidays and other high-demand travel dates. You may want to stock up on Wyndham Rewards points preemptively if you&#8217;re a frequent road tripper.<\/p>\n<p>At the 15,000-point tier, you can stay at several different properties in Hawaii. The Club Wyndham Kona Hawaiian Resort is one of the best in this tier as it\u2019s on the coast and close to many different restaurants, but far enough away from downtown that you can enjoy the peacefulness of beach life.<\/p>\n<p>Moving onto the 30,000-point tier, you have upscale options in many major cities. Some of the best include the MB Hotel in Miami Beach, The New Yorker in Manhattan and the Wyndham Hotel Melbourne. Each of these can be expensive during large conferences, holidays and other peak travel times, so having a stash of Wyndham Rewards points on hand may save you a considerable amount of money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/best-wyndham-hotels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14 best Wyndham properties to book with points<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Stretch your miles with points-and-cash nights<\/h3>\n<p>You can stretch your points further using Wyndham\u2019s \u201cgo fast\u201d points and cash redemptions. These redemptions let you combine points and cash to book discounted stays at any of the hotels in Wyndham\u2019s portfolio. The cash portion you\u2019ll pay depends on the hotel rate. Wyndham has three different award tiers that correspond to the free night tiers mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how many points you can use for points-and-cash redemptions for each redemption tier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3640525113 tpg-table \">\n<div tabindex=\"0\" class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<table class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<thead class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<tr class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<th class=\"jsx-3640525113\"><strong>Free night redemption<\/strong><\/th>\n<th class=\"jsx-3640525113\"><strong>Points-and-cash redemption<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<tr class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<td>7,500.<\/td>\n<td>1,500 + cash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<td>15,000.<\/td>\n<td>3,000 + cash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"jsx-3640525113\">\n<td>30,000.<\/td>\n<td>6,000 + cash.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>You can use points-and-cash redemptions to stretch your points even further. If you want to spend a week at a property that costs 30,000 points per night but don\u2019t have enough points, using 6,000 points per night can provide a discount and let you stay for your desired amount of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/how-to-decide-best-hotel-loyalty-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to choose the best hotel loyalty program for you<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Redeem for Vacasa vacation rentals<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/news\/redeem-wyndham-rewards-for-vacasa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wyndham has a partnership with Vacasa<\/a>, which is an Airbnb-like vacation rental service. You can use Wyndham Rewards points to book Vacasa properties for 15,000 points per night per bedroom. This means a one-bedroom apartment rental would cost 15,000 points per night while a two-bedroom would cost 30,000 points per night.<\/p>\n<p>Most Vacasa properties can be booked with Wyndham points, but not all dates are bookable with points. These dates are not listed online and you must call to book Vacasa stays. This can be an excellent way to redeem your Wyndham points if you&#8217;re willing to put in the work, especially if you can find large one-bedroom properties that sleep multiple people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/guide\/1600-ski-house-for-45k-points\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Planning for ski season: How I booked a $1,500 vacation rental for just 45,000 points<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"bottom-line\" class=\"jsx-133228390 anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"jsx-133228390\">Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>While Wyndham Rewards isn\u2019t the most well-known hotel loyalty program, it has its place.
