Wyndham Rewards

Wyndham Rewards uses a simple three-tier flat pricing model for free night (Go Free) awards: 7,500, 15,000, or 30,000 points per bedroom per night, available at thousands of Wyndham Rewards properties worldwide. Each property is assigned one of the three tiers. Wyndham periodically reassigns properties among the tiers (most recently in April 2026), so a specific hotel's cost can shift between reviews - price the exact dates before you book.

Vacation Club resorts (Club Wyndham, WorldMark by Wyndham, Margaritaville Vacation Club, Shell Vacation Clubs) start at 7,500 points per bedroom per night for stays of two or more nights.

A Points + Cash (Go Fast / Discounted Nights) option is also available starting at 750 points plus cash at participating hotels, with the cash portion shrinking as more points are applied.

• Max out the 30,000-point cap at expensive hotels - because Go Free is a flat three-tier chart, the strongest value comes from redeeming at top-tier properties (Wyndham Grand, Registry Collection, resorts) where cash rates run well past what 30,000 points would otherwise buy.
• Caesars Rewards stays in Las Vegas / Atlantic City - redeeming Wyndham points at Caesars casino hotels covers nights that can be tough to book cheaply with cash, especially on weekends.
• Vacation Club resort redemptions - Margaritaville and Club Wyndham resorts at 15,000-30,000 points per bedroom can deliver strong value on two-plus-night getaways.
• Caesars status match without gambling - Wyndham Platinum and above match to Caesars Rewards status, unlocking casino perks you'd otherwise have to earn at the tables.
• Co-brand card balance padding - the Wyndham Rewards Earner cards (Barclays) build a balance quickly, but only chase the points when you have a redemption in mind - never speculatively.

Wyndham Rewards does not operate an executive or club-lounge program. Its brands run from budget and midscale (Days Inn, La Quinta, Ramada, Super 8) to upscale (Wyndham Grand, Registry Collection), but elite recognition comes through accelerated earning, preferred room choice, late checkout and early check-in, suite upgrades (Diamond and above), and the Caesars Rewards status match - not lounge access. There is no tier that unlocks a branded lounge network.

• Free Nights (Go Free) - redeem 7,500 / 15,000 / 30,000 points per bedroom per night at participating hotels. The flat-tier cap means a pricey property costs the same 30,000 points as any other top-tier hotel.
• Discounted Nights (Points + Cash / Go Fast) - from 750 points plus cash; apply more points to shrink the cash portion.
• Vacation Club & resort stays - redeem at Club Wyndham, WorldMark, Margaritaville Vacation Club, and Shell Vacation Clubs from 7,500 points per bedroom per night (two or more nights).
• Caesars Rewards destinations - redeem points for stays at 30+ Caesars Entertainment casino hotels in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and beyond.
• Airline miles & partner travel currency - convert points to participating partner programs (airline miles, rail points). Conversion value is generally weak - keep points for hotel nights unless you have a specific redemption in mind.

• Points expiry (Four Year Rule): Wyndham Rewards points expire 4 years after the date they are posted to your account - not from the date of the stay.
• Inactivity cancellation: All accrued points may be cancelled if a member has no Account Activity for approximately, but never less than, 18 consecutive months. "Account Activity" means point earning or redemption/transfer activity that changes the point balance.
• Account termination: An account may be fully terminated after 60 consecutive months of no Account Activity, forfeiting all remaining points.
• OTA bookings earn nothing: Stays booked through Expedia, Priceline, Booking.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Hotwire, and similar third-party sites - regardless of rate paid or whether the brand is displayed - are explicitly excluded from Qualified Stays and earn zero points.
• Complimentary / Free Night stays do not earn points: Non-revenue-generating nights (including complimentary rooms and Free Night redemptions) are not Qualified Stays and earn no points, even when resort fees or incidental charges are paid.
• Minimum total rate required: A stay must total at least US $25.00 in nightly room charges (the "Minimum Total Rate," excluding taxes/fees for most brands) to qualify as a Qualified Stay.
• Vacasa Vacation Rentals no longer redeemable: Effective December 1, 2025, members can no longer redeem points for Free Nights at Vacasa Vacation Rentals.
• Echo Suites Extended Stay properties do NOT participate in Wyndham Rewards at all - no earning, no redemption.
• Travelodge outside US/Canada/Mexico: Travelodge properties outside these three countries are not owned, operated by, or affiliated with Wyndham Rewards and do not participate in the program.
• Property tier reassignments: Wyndham reassigns hotels among the 7,500 / 15,000 / 30,000 award tiers periodically (most recently April 2026), so a property's redemption cost can change between visits.
• Program changes without notice: Wyndham reserves the right to modify point values, redemption levels, elite tier benefits, and earning ratios at any time without notice.
• Program termination: Wyndham can terminate the entire program upon six months' notice, after which all points may be cancelled.
• Points are not member property: Points have no cash value and cannot be sold, bartered, or transferred except as explicitly authorized.
