Wyndham Rewards

The Highlights

Wyndham is towards the bottom of our hotel points list. It’s not a good utility point system to just hold points.

• Questionable room quality and cleanliness.
• Their points expire – even when you’re a cardholder.
• Difficulty in collecting points for more than a few stays.
• If you love a specific Wyndham hotel (including resorts), getting a card might be worth it.

What to Know About This Point System

Wyndham may not be Mr. Popular during lunch period, but its subtle redemption program holds a mysterious appeal. Earn points through the Wyndham Visa cards, which are both very simple to understand, options include a 15,000 or a 30,000 welcome bonus, using your cards to get gas, pay utility or buy groceries gets you 2x point per $1 on both cards and with the annual fee card you get extra, thank you anniversary points every year. As for transferring, thankfully Capital One has added them in with a transfer rate of 2:1.5, as a nice option if you're short on points. Redemption time is as simple as 1, 2, 3, because those are the tiers, hotels at 7,500, 15,000 or 30,000 points. Also, look into a discounted “go fast” night where you can book a room for low points + cash, this option generously stretches your points and caters entirely to us, the customers. Wyndham offers over 9,000 hotels worldwide, including all-inclusive vacation club resorts and vacation rentals all bookable with points, so while it’s sometimes disregarded, we think Wyndham rewards has definitely grown into a very attractive option.
