DEAL: Buy Wyndham Rewards Points with a 25% Discount (0.975 Cents/Point) until Oct 21

Wyndham Rewards has just launched a new promotion on purchased points, which might appeal to some members. We'll cover the details, but keep in mind, we only recommend buying points if you have a specific redemption in mind.

Promotion on Wyndham Rewards Points

Until Monday, October 21, 2024, Wyndham Rewards is offering up to a 25% discount on purchased points. You’ll get the 25% discount as long as you buy at least 3,000 points in a single transaction. This is the offer we’ve seen on the accounts we manage, but it’s possible that others may see different offers. Purchased points will post to your account within 72 hours.

How Much Does It Cost to Buy Wyndham Points?

Normally, Wyndham Rewards points cost 1.3 cents each before any discounts. With this promotion, you can buy up to 100,000 points at a cost of $975, which brings the price down to 0.975 cents per point.

This is about average for Wyndham Rewards promotions, which usually offer either a 30-40% bonus or a 25-30% discount.

Wyndham Rewards allows members to purchase up to 100,000 points per account annually, before any bonuses.

Is Buying Wyndham Rewards Points Worth It?

We generally suggest buying points only if you have a specific short-term use in mind. With Wyndham Rewards, some good reasons to buy points might include:

• Topping off your account for a redemption, especially since the minimum points purchase qualifies for the discount.

• While Wyndham Rewards doesn’t have many luxury properties, it offers a fixed-price award chart, which can provide value when booking during peak travel periods (e.g., for a major sports event).

• Wyndham Rewards has a partnership with Vacasa, allowing you to redeem points for home rentals, which can offer excellent value.

How Many Points Do You Need for a Wyndham Redemption?

Wyndham Rewards properties fall into three pricing tiers:

• Around one-third of properties cost 7,500 points per night.

• Most properties cost 15,000 points per night.

• A few hundred properties cost 30,000 points per night.

At a purchase rate of 0.975 cents per point, this translates to:

• $73 per night at an entry-level property.

• $146 per night at a mid-range property.

• $292 per night at a premium property.

This pricing may make sense in specific situations, such as when you only need a few more points for an award stay.

What Brands Are Part of Wyndham Rewards?

Wyndham Rewards includes over 9,000 hotels across 20 brands in 80+ countries. Popular brands include:

• Registry Collection

• Wyndham Grand

• Dolce

• La Quinta

• Ramada

• Days Inn

• Super 8

• Travelodge

How Much Are Wyndham Rewards Points Worth?

Wyndham Rewards points are generally valued at around 0.7 cents each, though this is a conservative estimate. You may get more value when redeeming points for Vacasa rentals or during peak travel periods.

Wyndham Rewards has a relatively complicated expiration policy:

• Points expire after 18 months of inactivity (no earning or redemption activity).

• Points expire four years after they are earned, regardless of activity.

Conclusion

Wyndham Rewards is offering a 25% discount on purchased points, allowing you to buy them for 0.975 cents each. While we don’t recommend buying points speculatively, the math can work in certain cases—especially if you’re planning to redeem points for a Vacasa rental or if you only need to buy a few points to complete a redemption.
